30″ Extra Long Handle Shoehorn The 30″ Long Handle Shoe Horn is one of the longest shoehorns you will ever find. There are seven individual pieces (view picture above) that create this shoe horn. It consists of a polished solid wood spindle attached by means of a brass spring to a high quality plastic tortoise-shell shoe horn. Our 30″ Long Handle Shoehorn makes putting shoes on easier than ever, with less effort and virtually no bending required than with shorter shoe horns. It makes a perfect gift idea for various occasions (Holiday gift, Corporate / business gift, etc.). You can even gift wrap the box we ship it in. YOUR SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK (notify us within 30 days of purchase date)
Customer Review: The Fat Guy’s Shoehorn is great
For a fat guy (there are no fat women, just big boned or curvy or plump) this is perfect. Long enough so you don’t have to do any bending over at all. And it is doubly perfect (assuming you can improve on perfection) when you have a bad back. Now if they would just invent some way to get socks on easily. It’s well made so it won’t break like the plastic ones and the spring hinge makes it even easier to use.
