Shoehorn
What is a shoehorn?
A shoehorn is a long piece of smooth plastic with a groove down the middle to help you slide your ankle into your shoe.
Look for a model with a long handle that reduces the need to bend down and reach your shoe to make it easier to put it on.
A shoehorn is useful if you lack flexibility, have a reduced range of motion, have lower limb weakness, upper limb weakness, or suffer pain, or fatigue.
