ZOMAKE Long Handle Shoe Horn Review---I have previously bought a couple of long handle shoe horns to help me get into my shoes, since I cannot bend down to the level of my feet due to back arthritic "stiffness". So I went to Amazon to see if they were selling a shoe horn that could perform better than what I had previously purchased. I was most convinced to try this product because of the very high praise given from many of their their customer reviews. A small number were very disappointed, however, since for them the metal shaft bent upon its early use. However, the price of the particular shoehorn, was so inexpensive, that I decided to buy and try it, despite the few unhappy reviewers. I am so glad I did-- since I now can get into my New Balance sneakers and my new Zizzak shoes within 1 minute, no longer needing my wife to help me with the process. I also loved the leather handle, that because of its 90 degree end angulation and leather softness, fit and guided my hand deftly, helping me to get into these shoes easier than I had been able to be for the last several years. Let me try to address the "bent metal" issue, if I may. I am a physician and have some comments that might be helpful to those who may purchase this item. I have some shoes from over 10 years ago, that if I tried to get into them now, they would be so tight, that I would not be surprised at all, if the metal shaft would have bent, given my weight of 270 lbs and large foot, that in 20 years time, has increased from a size 12 medium to a size 14 wide. This was due to loss of my arches with flattening of the feet that increase their length by two inches. The extra width of the foot is due to gaining 50 lbs in that time interval. The Zizzak shoe, I purchased 1 month ago, because it had a strong heel that resists bending when attempting to get into the shoe. After buying it, my first attempt to get into it with a shoe horn was not easy at all. As recommended by the shoe company, I worked for about 30 minutes adjusting the laces to widen the shoe even more, until it became much easier to get it the shoe without bending or deforming the back heel support of the shoe. And using the above ZOMAKE shoehorn was significantly better, easier & faster for me, by myself, to get the shoes as compared to my prior bought shoehorns. For the above reasons, I strongly recommend this shoehorn, most highly or adults who find it difficult to get into their shoes, due to back, arthritic or other problems, that makes bending to shoe level with their hands, difficult to virtually impossible.
