  82. Plastic Shoehorn With Hook
    great product excellent value
    Review by J. Dance Posted on 15/01/2026
    this shoe horn is made from polypropylene - in other words nylon -and this is by far and away the best material compared to other types of plastics it is indefinitely durable and almost unbreakable as well as being very comfortable to use. the shoe horn is of a size to fit common fett sizes but might not be suitable for the very smallest feet. I ordered several of these and the only drawback is that there may be a slighter rough edge at the end where it has come out of the mold but this can be removed with a nail file or similar.
