I looked at all the long-handled shoe horns and all the reviews.  I actually initially purchased a wooden one thinking it would look nice.  I am so glad it never arrived, because now I have a great one:  Solid one-piece.  There is nothing to break or come apart; no wood splits, cracks, screws.  Perfect length and curve.  A scoop at the heel that is wide enough to slide your foot down, yet narrow enough to fit in any shoe.  It is a solid plastic, not so slick that you cannot get a gripe on it, but smooth enough to slide the roughest heel right into the shoe.

Honestly, I have been wearing backless clogs to work now for 4 years now since an injury made bending no longer an option.  I am delighted that I was able to knock the dust off my moccasins and slip them right on.  Since moccasins have a soft back, I figured they would be the best possible test.  This shoe horn passed with flying colors!
