I know I may seem old for saying this, but I highly recommend getting a decent metal shoehorn. Makes putting on shoes a breeze, and no need to wreck your fingers or do that foot-heel pumping thing. The backs of my trainers last so much longer now too!

During the height of their advertising campaign, I bought a pair of Kiziks. I was just recovering from a newly broken ankle at the time and was dealing with limited mobility and strength in that general region.

They're fine shoes, not amazing but pretty decent; however, I've not bought any other kind of shoe since then because they genuinely are super easy to put on and take off without involving my hand, any extra tools like a shoehorn, or really anything other than my foot. I even bought a pair for my wife, who has perfectly functional feet and joints, and she has appreciated their ease of use as well.

This isn't any kind of paid ad (I wish), just a sincere recommendation for the shoes if you find yourself having trouble getting shoes on and off easily. That said, they are more expensive than most shoehorns and may not last as long.

I really appreciated them at the time because I was constantly taking my shoes off and on for things like X-rays, where I could feasibly have taken a shoehorn, but it would have been slower and perhaps more awkward.

Do you have one to recommend by chance? Is it worth it getting a longer one?

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I got a 2€ one at Ikea lmao. Get a long one if you have trouble/can't be arsed to bend down and touch your toes.

[–] Schal330@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I bought a £6 metal one, it's only a small one as I still have plenty of mobility. I imagine if you have a bad back or reduced mobility you'd want a longer one. I think the brand was called Zomake? I bought it many years ago, it's still in great condition apart from the logo wearing off.

Seems like whittling or sanding down a piece of branch might work in a pinch just to see if you like it.
