The shoehorn is that useful device that helps us put on our shoes more easily.
Although the shoehorn’s actual origin is unknown, we do know that the first ones date back as far as the 15th century. It is supposed that they became particularly popular in the Victorian era to help people get in to their shoes; tight shoes were particularly fashionable then and without a shoehorn they would have been impossible to put on.
Nowadays it is not unusual to see shoehorns made of plastic due to it flexibility of the material. However, shoehorns used to be made of a range of materials including of wood, ivory, silver and other precious metals, especially amongst the aristocracy.
In our Pikolinos stores you will find shoehorns made of plastic in the colour of our branding. So what about you? Do you use a shoehorn?
