Extended Shoe Horn With Twist-Lock Handle – FootMatters Expander Extends From 16 To 31 Inches For Easy Access And Comfort Review

This extends and collapses as advertised. However when purchasing you should realize that the actual portion of the shoehorn that goes into your shoe is about the same size as a handheld non long handled shoe horn. If you're using this for boots or anything else that's deep and needs more metal/plastic support to make the shoe go on properly it probably won't work.

Good material, telescoping arm works fine. However, after inserting your feet in the shoe, the telescoping arm extends all the way before it comes off the shoe. This is very annoying if you are using sitting on a chair, at which time you want the telescoping handle is shorter. It would be best if it would not so easily telescope (unintentional for me) when pulling the shoe horn off the shoe after my foot is already inserted in the shoe. Otherwise, it is best used standing.

Rubber handle had to be glued back on.Need to be careful as metal does not feel durable.Overall good for the purpose Expander may not fit easily into some shoe types.

I Like very much that it has variable lengths. This is especially true for traveling. The ability to lock into a specific length is a positive feature but does not work. The spring attaching the head to the handle is too weak, it need to be stiffer. so it doesn't bend when putting your shoes on.

This helps me put my shoes on. If you have trouble bending over, this shoe horn will be helpful. It's sturdy enough. Helps put shoes on without all the bending. It's a good product. It also extends to be longer if you are standing when putting your shoes on. This is not a cheap shoe horn, good for elderly and young alike.

This product is well made and attractive. My only objection is to the spring that connects the horn to the handle. Some may like the flexibility, but I would rather not have it. Other than that, it is great.

I love using while extended and works great. If I am sitting though using it collapsed, when I try to pull it out of my shoe, the handle just wants to extend out without coming out of my shoe. Since I use it more extended and that is its main purpose, rating it 4 starts. I'll buy a smaller one that doesn't collapse for use while sitting.

I really find this quite helpful! I have a couple of herniated disks in my lower spine, so it can be quite painful to put on shoes. This has been a big help! The one thing I noticed, however is that the flexible spring part is a bit "too" flexible. Sometimes it bends the horn at a more extreme angle and it's hard to wiggle your foot into the shoe.

Forgot about the locking feature and notified vendor as an enhancement. They quickly reminded me it already was there. Now that I have gotten past that I find that this is a great tool for assisting putting on shoes with or without wearing socks. I have seen some comments about the spring but have found it to be very useful as it allows me to align the shoehorn despite the angle I am holding the extension.

The metal parts of the shoe horn are pretty robust and conveniently retracts to a shorter length. The rubber handle provides for a good grip; however, after just a few uses slid off the end of the metal shaft. It's easily repaired with adhesive, but the consumer shouldn't need to deal with this.In the end it works quite well after several months of daily usage (and a repair).

Pretty convenient. Top handle was loose when I got it, but I fixed that with a little superglue. Item was as advertised, but I've realized that I didn't really need to spend the extra money for a collapsing version because it basically sits, expanded, next to my back door. I don't need to transport it anywhere. (This is not a defect in the product. Just in what I'm using it for.)

It is a little to flexible and would be a lot better if made wider. I like their telescoping feature a lot. Thanks for attention!

has a telescoping handle with a spring at the top of the horn,it flexes as your foot slides in your shoes.,you don't need to bend over .Prefect gift for a leg amputee or and elderly person, or someone with back troubles

It is a great product and this is the second one I have purchased. The first one did not lock, but it still served it's purpose. This specific model locks, however, there were no instructions on how to retract the shaft when extended and locked. I finally figured it out by accident. Hold both ends, pull or push and then TWIST to unlock. The spring at the bottom offers flexibility allowing use at different angles, works everytime!

I bought this for my husband. We liked the option of collapsing it for when we travel. However, it doesn't seem stiff enough and causes some problems when my husband gets his shoes on. There's a spring between the blade and the shaft so there must be a reason for it. My husband just got it and said we will try it for a little while longer and see if he can get use to it. It's different than the last one he had that was really rigid and helped him slide his foot in better.

Like the sturdy metal shoe horn. Although provides flexibility, the spring is a little flimsy while using. Must place shoehorn in shoe and in position before placing your foot into the shoe.

the hand telescopes and does not seem to lock, so it slips up and down while you are using it. The shoe horn part also is flexibly connected to the handle, so that means there is more give. It is OK, but I think a long handled shoe horn that was one piece would have worked better for my needs.

I'm taking water aerobics and can't bend to put shoes on. This shoe horn when in my swimming bag and helped get on swimming shoes and then to put on street shoes. Had a hard time finding one short enough to go in my bag. I take two sections and screw them together when ready to use.

Just got it looks like it will be just what we wanted. We will see if it holds up.Came in a huge box and very quick! Sometimes it does not lock to hold the length, but maybe that is us.

The shoehorn is great for traveling as it fits in my small suitcase. The handle comes off if you are not careful when using the shoehorn. A great buy for travel.
