I specifically asked, Tammy
Such a good partner to help her with her cramps doing that time of the month. 😌
For the love of God, please use a shoehorn if you are still having this problem.
Big shoehorn guy here
How am I going to wreck the heels of my trainers or give my fingers ungodly numbness and pain then though?
I can't help with wrecking the heels, but do you remember that trick from when we were kids? Where you can bite down on your fingers, then hook them together and pull, and it hurts like hell?
... Is this a thing people did? Why?
Usually because you were 7 and your mate told you it was a magic trick
I think the technical term is speculum
Should I be calling it a foot speculum or heel speculum? Which sounds worse?
Achilles speculum? Tarsal speculum?
Scott Specula
Oh wow, definitely the last one
Speculum? I hardly know 'em!
Love shoehorns. Use them at every opportunity. But they are not every place I put on shoes.
invent the shoehorn that is embedded in the shoe
Sketchers has some as well.
thanks i didnt know these existed. but for $140 i'll just finger it.
i also found the shoeslyde which fits in a wallet for $5.
I have a small one in my backpack at all times. It's great.
That's smart! However I don't have a backpack with me every time I put on shoes.
40 year old me after my wife says “I’m almost there”
Me after I went to grab the canned cranberry sauce, but the can was already open so two of my fingers got dipped in cranberry sauce.
TIL I'm still 10 years old.
Im about to turn 40. Still do this 😅
- I bought a few pairs of slip in trainers.
Or I use a shoe horn if I have to wear something else. Bending over is for rays of light and harlots!!
I know I may seem old for saying this, but I highly recommend getting a decent metal shoehorn. Makes putting on shoes a breeze, and no need to wreck your fingers or do that foot-heel pumping thing. The backs of my trainers last so much longer now too!
During the height of their advertising campaign, I bought a pair of Kiziks. I was just recovering from a newly broken ankle at the time and was dealing with limited mobility and strength in that general region.
They're fine shoes, not amazing but pretty decent; however, I've not bought any other kind of shoe since then because they genuinely are super easy to put on and take off without involving my hand, any extra tools like a shoehorn, or really anything other than my foot. I even bought a pair for my wife, who has perfectly functional feet and joints, and she has appreciated their ease of use as well.
This isn't any kind of paid ad (I wish), just a sincere recommendation for the shoes if you find yourself having trouble getting shoes on and off easily. That said, they are more expensive than most shoehorns and may not last as long.
I really appreciated them at the time because I was constantly taking my shoes off and on for things like X-rays, where I could feasibly have taken a shoehorn, but it would have been slower and perhaps more awkward.
Do you have one to recommend by chance? Is it worth it getting a longer one?
I got a 2€ one at Ikea lmao. Get a long one if you have trouble/can't be arsed to bend down and touch your toes.
I bought a £6 metal one, it's only a small one as I still have plenty of mobility. I imagine if you have a bad back or reduced mobility you'd want a longer one. I think the brand was called Zomake? I bought it many years ago, it's still in great condition apart from the logo wearing off.
Seems like whittling or sanding down a piece of branch might work in a pinch just to see if you like it.
44yr old me still doing this.
Team tied tight, and loose enough to slip shoes on. Tying shoes is like a biannual event
Guys, elastic shoelaces exist now, the struggle is over.
$1 shoehorn from China.

When there’s a booger up in there, I do not fuck around.
