Poll question: Do you own and/or use a shoehorn? |
|
I found one in an old pair of golf spikes recently. Didn't even know I owned one. Never had much use for 'em. You?

1. yup. and my life is so much better for it. |
|
skinny ankles and a big heels, shoes that taper at the ankles. i used to loosen the laces down to the last eyelets to get shoes on, now i just loosen the top eyelets and shoehorn in.
i have the cheap, tiny metal shoehorn, not the really long kind for people who can't bend over or are playing stuffy or snobby parts in movies.

I'd want one of the long ones. With some cool decorations in the handle. That doubled as a pipe.

then they're too tight and you should get rid of them. Too-tight shoes can lead to serious problems down the road.
I used to sell men's tailored clothing, and take it from me, if your shoes hurt, your tie chokes you and your suit trousers make a red-irritated line across your waist, THEY DON'T FIT RIGHT!
'nuff said. B-)
edited for spelling.

19. you must have missed my post |

i agree, if the shoe is too tight, get new shoes.
shoehorns are for shoes that are tight to get in, not to be in.

For saddle shoes, anyway. But do you still OWN a shoehorn? Seems to me it's something most of us have, but very few know why.

17. No. As far as I know, there is no shoehorn in this house. |
|
I'd have to ask my husband if he's got one lurking somewhere before I'd be 100% sure.

Maybe I have a foot and/or shoe fetish. Or maybe I like to be spanked with a shoehorn. Ever think of THAT? The spatula gets old after awhile, you know? :P

But, my shoes are falling apart now. Maybe if I used them, I wouldn't need new ones like he said.
