It's just as beautiful as everyone else has said.  A little extravagant but hey, you only live once.  And as much money as I spend on shoes it's only right to have something nice to help get them on my feet.  I bought this specifically for ankle boots and it does the trick very well.  Better than using a kitchen spoon which is what I resorted to in the past!  Don't think I'll have to do that again.....
