If you have hip, knee or back pain, or are recently post-operative, getting stuck in your shoes is not easy. However, thanks to Vive Long Handle Shoehorn, you can put on or take off any shoe – sneakers, Croc, Oxford, whatever you want – standing or sitting. At 24 inches tall, the shoehorn works well for both men and women, has a firm grip, and is gently curved to slide into any size or style.

After just one use, you’ll be screaming, “Vive le shoehorn!”
This shoehorn means you don’t have to fight your Skechers or face your Hush Puppies. You can put on your shoes while standing, which puts less pressure on your muscles and joints – and reduces the chances of pulls and strains. And it can save you a lot of money on medical expenses.
The large oval handle offers a secure and secure hold. Each edge is gently rounded to ensure it won’t snag on socks or tights, or scratch your shoes. And as a practical extra, the strap allows it to be stored on a hanger or storage hook for quick access. The durable plastic frame is sturdy and won’t crack or break, and the entire shoehorn can be separated into two parts for travel.
The lives of nearly 9,000 five-star reviewers have been made easier thanks to “Best Shoehorn”, how it was dubbed by this fan. “It’s exactly what I needed. I’ll be having hip replacement surgery soon. To avoid extra bending and twisting immediately afterwards, this shoehorn will help me put on my shoes. I’ve been practicing it and find it easy to use. It’s simple to put together It separates to travel and is the right height.
How this buyer raved“How can something so small, like a piece of plastic with a long handle, make my life so much easier???” And this satisfied customer agreed: “I had knee replacement surgery last year and now I’m having a hip replacement on the same leg. With this shoehorn, I can now put my shoes on by myself. Extra benefit, I can put this shoehorn inside my socks and take them off also!”
“It’s light and I’m very pleased with it” said this reviewer“The only downside is that it is plastic and therefore less solid or strong. But it is strong enough and if it were anything else it would lose its other benefits.”
“Better than what the hospital gave me”, he revealed this satisfied customer. “After my hip replacement, the hospital gave me a ‘hip kit,’ which included a shoehorn. It was longer than the normal ones, but still not long enough to keep me from having to bend over too much. So I searched until I got this. It arrived here very quickly after I ordered it and it has proven time and time again to be exactly what the occupational therapist ordered.

It also comes with a sock remover flap so you can easily take off your shoes and socks.
Psst: If your shoes are a little too tight, Amazon shoppers also love this FootMatters Shoe Stretch Spray:

Just spray some of this on just about any shoe for extra wiggle room—it works on leather gloves, too!
“When trying to figure out what my shoe size actually is now, I ended up with a pair of shoes that were a little too tight,” revealed a reviewer. “This thing really worked. I wore them over some thick socks and used this spray, and within an hour or so they stretched out enough that I could wear them comfortably. This is a lifesaver and a real money saver for any leather – weird shoes that don’t fit properly.”
