This is by far the best shoe horn I've ever owned.  Not only is it the longest I've seen it is also the most attractive.  The combination of the wood spindle and the tortoise-shell shoe horn and hanger cap give this product an excellent look and feel.  I've owned mine for several months now and use it at least once a day so I am very please with the quality and craftsmanship.  I'm thinking of purchasing a second one for my downstairs closet to use with my hiking boots and sneakers.  I would recommend this shoe horn to everyone.
