Why Choose the Duro-Med 24-Inch Shoehorn?

The Duro-Med 24-Inch Shoehorn is engineered for versatility. Unlike shorter shoehorns that still require you to reach down, this 2-foot model allows most users to remain completely upright. This is a critical feature for anyone with limited range of motion or balance concerns. The plastic is specifically formulated to be flexible enough to conform to the shape of your heel while remaining rigid enough to guide the foot into the shoe.

The slip-resistant handle and integrated hanging loop make it easy to use even for those with limited hand dexterity. By reducing the friction between the foot and the shoe, it not only makes dressing faster but also extends the life of your footwear by preventing the heel counter from being crushed. It is a rugged, "no-nonsense" tool that belongs in every closet.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the plastic strong enough for heavy work boots?

Yes. While flexible, the high-impact plastic is designed to withstand the pressure of tight-fitting boots and athletic shoes without snapping.

Can this be used while standing up?

Absolutely. The 24-inch length is specifically designed so that most adults can use it from a standing position, which is ideal for those with hip or knee restrictions.

Does it have a sharp edge?

No. All edges are precision-molded and smoothed to ensure it glides against your skin and socks without snagging or causing irritation.
