Description
Long Wooden Shoe Horn – 63 cm Lacquered Beechwood
This long wooden shoe horn provides a comfortable way to put on shoes without bending as far as you would when using a compact model. Its 63 cm handle gives you additional reach, while the shaped end guides your heel smoothly into the shoe.
A European manufacturer produces the shoe horn from beechwood and finishes it with a smooth protective lacquer. As a result, it combines a natural wooden appearance with a practical surface designed for regular everyday use.

Comfortable 63 cm length
The extended handle allows many people to put on their footwear while standing or with considerably less bending. Therefore, the shoe horn works particularly well beside the front door, near a wardrobe or next to a shoe rack.
However, comfort will depend on the user’s height, mobility and chosen footwear. The 63 cm handle offers useful reach without becoming unnecessarily heavy or awkward to store.
How a long shoe horn protects footwear
A shoe horn creates a smooth surface between your heel and the back of the shoe. Consequently, your foot can slide into place without placing as much pressure on the heel counter.
Repeatedly forcing a foot into a tightly fastened shoe can bend or crush its back section. A shoe horn helps reduce this unnecessary strain. Nevertheless, you should always loosen the laces or fastening before inserting your foot.
Lacquered beechwood construction
The manufacturer shapes the shoe horn from beechwood and applies a smooth lacquered finish. This finish allows the wood to move comfortably against the heel and helps protect its surface during normal handling.
Moreover, manufacturers have traditionally used beechwood for furniture, cooking utensils and tool handles. The Woodland Trust’s guide to common beech provides more information about the tree and traditional uses of its timber.
Because wood is a natural material, its grain, colour and markings may differ slightly between individual pieces. These variations are normal and give every shoe horn its own character without affecting how it works.
Hanging loop for convenient storage
A loop at the top of the handle allows you to hang the shoe horn from a suitable hook. Therefore, you can keep it close to your footwear rather than searching behind the shoe rack whenever you need it.
The loop also keeps the wooden surface away from damp floors and makes the full 63 cm length easier to accommodate in smaller hallways.

How to use the shoe horn
- First, loosen the laces or fastening sufficiently.
- Next, place the curved end inside the back of the shoe.
- Rest your heel gently against the wooden surface.
- Then slide your foot into the shoe without forcing it.
- Finally, remove the shoe horn carefully and fasten your footwear.
Use the shoe horn as a guide rather than a lever. In particular, avoid twisting it sideways or forcing it into footwear that has not been opened sufficiently.
Suitable footwear
You can use the shoe horn with many formal shoes, loafers, trainers and ankle boots. However, very tight, high or rigid boots may require a differently shaped shoe horn or a wider opening before use.
If you also want a compact model for work or travelling, consider the Mark Schrimm Wooden Shoe Horn Set, which combines this long model with a 12 cm travel shoe horn.
Care instructions
Wipe the wooden surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth when necessary. Afterwards, allow it to dry naturally.
Do not soak the shoe horn in water, place it in a dishwasher or leave it next to a strong source of heat. Instead, use the attached loop to store it in a dry place.
