Review on Retractable Aluminum Shoe Horn: Long-Handled Shoe Horn For Men, Women, Kids, And Seniors – 14.5 To 37 Inches – From JJDPARTS by Sin Gabriel

Came in a box, ready to wrap as a gift if needed. I(instructions on box and leaflet inside the box. Validated the measurements and the add is accurate, approximately 36" long extended all the way, 5 sections including the handle, totally collapsed 14" (including blade). Weighs 6.6 oz so good for travel. 5" long loop on the end will facilitate hanging on a hook or hanger, seems well attached, though it loops through a hole and I think you could remove it if you wanted to. The handle end has a clear plastic cap, with a screw shredded hole to which I'am not what for.Made of aluminum alloy, black color, with white dots, not sure what they are for, I guess and indication of where a section ends and where to grab and trust to tighten or loosen to adjust the length and twist. Sections lock with 1/2 twist clockwise looking from handle end. Locking doesn't take a lot of force and easy to do with my arthritis hands (and two finger surgeries; 2 hands 4 fingers). To telescope longer I found I had to do each section at a time. Handle is foamy rubber (non-slip) 4-3/4" diameter, 8" in circumference so good for average size hands; if you have extra small hands you might want to test with some round object first.The shoe horn is aluminum alloy and thick (2/16"), it won't bend, is smooth but a matte finish. Won't snag socks or shoe material. It is smooth enough you can use if to remove socks if you want. Again adjustable from 14" to `36" so you can use if sitting or standing. It is sturdy enough that you can use it standing with no problem. It's study and fully extended it feels quite study/stable, but Im not sure how much weight it could support- I wouldn't try using it as a cane. The bottom of the shoe horn is 2" wide with smooth edges (rounded). The horn concave is 4/16"deep, so should accommodate heals well.Overall very pleased, sturdy, well made, easy travel, won't rust, can us sitting or standing.
