A simple metal shoe horn:


I somehow lost the only shoe horn I had and now it seems to be impossible to find one that's a)metal b) not designed for elderly men who can't reach their feet and c) sold separately instead of part of a set of "grooming" tools.

The one pictured is the closest I've come and it is being sold by American Bridal as a groomsmen gift. Too bad I've never been in a wedding party or maybe I'd have an extra shoe horn.

Granted, my footwear these days are tends to be in the flip-flop family, but I've never quite understood why one might need a shoe horn.

What do you use them for?

Please tell me you are joking. Right?

Not at all. I have never once used a shoe horn for anything other than a strained metaphor.

We really need to get you some dress shoes.
When you have nice, expensive, non-flip-flops, you don't want to risk breaking down the back of the ankle by jamming your foot into them. You need to gently slide in your foot, but for me, at least, that's only possible with a shoe horn.

That sounds complicated.
