I have an old pair of expensive Frye boots. It used to take me 15 minutes to put them on where I put so much energy  I never felt like wearing them.  I saw this shoe horn while browsing on Amazon and gave it a try. Now it takes 2 minutes to put boots on with very little effort. This product works great and does what it's supposed to do without bending. Give it a try and you won't be sorry.
