Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break
Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break
I feel like I've tried everything available in all the stores, at the shoe stores, I've bought the "good" ones off Amazon, the DUBEFWEE style brands too.
They all break or deform within a year, I can't take it

There's metal shoehorns which are nearly indestructible.
You probably can't order from this shop wherever you're from, but my parents have this model: https://shop.wenko.de/Wohnen/Zubehoer/Schuhloeffel-Extra-Lang-58-5-cm-rostfreier-Edelstahl
And yeah, that very much feels like you could repurpose it as a makeshift katana in some fictional zombie outbreak...Nearly?!? I mean sure a furnace or a steam roller or a nuclear blast might do it but….putting on shoes?
Well, you do have a pretty big lever there. If your shoes are rather tight and you really gotta work your way in there, then you're gonna exert quite a bit of force...
Dude. 1/2 size larger maybe?
I kid but seriously. I once made the mistake of getting new shoes RIGHT before a convention where I was on my feet for 8-10 hours a day and no time to get different ones. They were too tight and that pressure caused me pain for years.
I mean, I don't know what shoes OP is wearing, but if you've got uncushioned shoes (leather shoes or fake leather or whatever), then you do want them to be basically skin-tight. Otherwise, they'll grind up and down your feet and give you blisters.
But yeah, of course, if they crush your feet, that's no good either. 🫠
I find it weird that nobody mentioned this. If you don't have back problems and you're tired of shoe horns breaking, in addition to reconsidering your technique, get a short metal one.
My ex GF bought me those and they were great for the first 12 months then they both deformed.
