What type of shoe horn to buy?  Metal, plastic or wood?  My last one was plastic, and lasted about 7-8 years before cracking, which basically killed it's usefulness.
So it was time to look for a new one, let's see what Amazon has.
Wow, some of these are REALLY expensive, I guess I'll go by my normal combination of price and reviews.  This wooden one has good reviews, and is only $12.

It's OK.  Really needs a few years of use to give it a full rating, it seems like it's made OK, but if the stain wears off, or the wood splinters, that will be the end of this one.  I'd give it 4 stars if it was $5, which is what I think this should really cost.  It works fine, so I'll use it till it wears/breaks.

UPDATE:  Yep, it cracked, and I had to throw it out.  Tried to glue it, but that won't work, it's got sharp edges on it already, which is a really bad thing for a shoe horn.  Guess I'll stick with plastic.
