Was looking for a nice long shoehorn for my mother when we found this 2 for 1 deal, hey, I'll use one if it's available. Reviews looked good and the plastic is sturdy and doesn't feel like it will break. Gets the job done and works great. Perfect length for myself (5'5") and my mother, who is about the same height. No more slipping my feet into expensive sneakers and breaking the backs anymore! Why buy an expensive wooden one or name brand when these work just great! If it does break? Great price to simply replace!
