These long handled shoehorns are super handy. They are cut from mature bamboo, and are very strong and sturdy. You"ll hardly have to bend at all when putting on your shoes. Shoehorns not only save your back, but your shoes as well. I think that we all have at least one pair of shoes with a crushed down heel from always stomping our foot into them without bending over to pull them on the right way. With these shoehorns, your feet will slide into even the snuggest of slip-ons. Bamboo is a fantastic material. Not only is is strong and durable, but since it is technically a type of grass, it is also very easy to grow and harvest in an environmentally responsible manner. We"re so confident in these bamboo shoehorns that if you manage to break one, we"ll send you a free replacement as long as you cover the shipping costs.
