So I need to write at least 20 words . . .  Well, this is a great shoe horn.  It's solid metal (not flimsy or bendable), and the non-shoe end of it is curved enough to hang on anything that's sort of a thin bar (I hang mine on a wire shelf). It functions great, as a shoe horn.

It's great for getting business shoes on in the winter when I'm in my suit and overcoat and can't really bend or sit.  It's not fancy, somewhat utilitarian in fact.  To me that's a good thing.  As opposed to a status symbol, this shoe horn tells people who see it that I don't fool around when it comes to putting on my shoes - I mean business.  When I see my friends trying to impress others with their engraved, battery-operated or bejeweled shoe horns, I just laugh on the inside.

Getting your first shoe horn can be somewhat traumatic, since they rarely come with instructions, and can be tricky to figure out.  You are lucky, though, for in today's age instructions are readily available online.
