I remember my dad telling me a shoe horn helps keep your dress shows looking nice. So I've had a wooden one I've use for decades. It helped too when I was LOLfat to put my shoes on.

Now that I'm a sleek 62 year old gray fox, I don't need one. But I still use one.

My old one finally split last week and I'm debating getting replacement. Do you guys think they really matter anymore with modern shoes?

For reference, I use cedar shoe trees for all my dress shoes too.

seems like your all in on shoe horns at 62 years. May as well finish the ride with shoe horn. Congrats on not being fat.

It's been 40 years since I've seen a shoe horn. I had one when I was a little kid, but I almost never used it as we weren't big church-goers.

Nope. I am exceptionally skilled at persuading others with my intellect, wit, and humor.

Was thinking the same thing. Couldn't tell you the last time I saw a shoe horn, but I also don't wear dress shoes so that might be it.

If you don't use a shoe horn, how do you get shoes on- especially dress shoes- without bending the back of the shoe? Do you buy your shoes 2 sizes too big for easy access?

I'd rather take a kick in the fellas than have a crease in the heel of my shoe rubbing a blister on the back of my foot.

I do use them just for different purposes. Not work appropriate.

This is as dressy as I get. Built-in shoe horn.

I use this little trick where I untie my shoes before I put them on. Usually solves the problem along with buying shoes that fit.

Same here. We had one when I was a kid. It might be still at my parents place. I have never bought one, neither seen one. Maybe it died after the 80s.

Metal shoe horn or bust.

Tying and untying shoes is for losers.

No. But a boot jack is a must if you own exotics.
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
