... and once that happens, it's trashed. Three much nicer, sturdier shoehorns are product-linked below ...

I bought this worthless product around town for about 15 smackeroos ... and it sells here on Amaz under about a dozen different "brand" names. But the pictures make clear it is the exact same item. The shoehorn itself is physically unbranded, except for a stamp on the thin metal horn that says "Japan." (So I am posting this same review under the various brand names ... because I've owned one and they are all ... they are all ... the exact same thing, OK?)

Anyway, it's junk, I am telling you not to buy it.

Happy hunting.
