Beech shoehorn 26 cm

The shoehorn is one of those objects you always end up regretting not having: it protects the heel counter of the shoe, preserves the shape of the leather and spares you needless contortions. Made by a German manufacturer known for its everyday accessories, it is cut from oiled beech, a dense wood that is pleasant in the hand and stands up to use without warping or cracking.

Its 26 cm length is enough to use it standing, or nearly, without having to bend right down. It is the right size for daily use: not too bulky to store, not too short to be genuinely practical.

A leather cord is fitted at the top end: simply hang it on a hook in the hallway or wardrobe so it is always within reach. A simple detail that changes how you use it, because a shoehorn you cannot find is no use at all.
