Best shoe horns & boot jacks according to redditors

live that soap life.

No shoe lasts forever, but here is how you can help yours try

• Avoidance: Try not to wear your shoes in the rain, wet leather soles wear several times as quickly as dry ones and are more susceptible to tears or other serious damage. Treat your shoes like you would your foot, don't kick anything or drop anything on them.
  
  
• Rotation: Wear your nice leather shoes only every second or preferably third day, this gives the leather time to dry, which will reduce wear and tear. Cost $0 Last: 10-15 years From: You
  
  
• Shoe Trees: Pulls moisture out of your shoes after they're worn. Maintains shape and keeps them smelling nice. Cost: $24.95 Lasts: 10-15 years From: Woodlore/Allen Edmonds, Jos A Bank on sale, Nordstrom
  
  
• Shoe Horn: goes behind your heel as you put your shoes on, keeps your heel from folding over the leather in the back and degrading it over time. Cost $2.50 Lasts: Lifetime From: Amazon
  
  
• Toe and heel: they're little metal plates that are nailed into the sole to keep that area from wearing. Doubles the life of the sole. Cost ~$20 Lasts: 1-2 years From: Local cobbler or shoe repairman.
  
  
• Topy: Thin rubber top coat over the toe of the shoe, lowers the wear of the leather. Cost ~$30 Lasts: 1-2 years From: Local cobbler or Shoe Repairman.
  
  
• Leathr conditioner: Every two weeks to two months depending on wear. Keeps the leather soft and happy. Cost $4.95 + Shipping Lasts: at least a year. From: Allen Edmonds
  
  
• Horsehair Brush: Keeps dirt, dust and salt off your shoes, brushing down when you get home will keep your shoes clean and happy. Cost: $6.99 Lasts: 5-6 years From: Kiwi
  
  
• Creme Polish: Helps moisturize leather, maintain colour and keep them shiny. Cost: $9.00 Lasts: At least a year From: Allen Edmonds
  
  
• Edge Dressing: Applied once every couple of months to the edge of the sole and heel, it will keep your shoes looking neat and sharp. Cost: $4-5 Lasts: 3-5 years From: Fiebings, Allen Edmonds.
  
  If you take care of your shoes and treat them well, they can last up to 15 years and still look beautiful.
  

Just a few random things I do in no specific order.

I keep my room extremely clean and wash the floor between every client. That way my room always has a great scent. I only use sheets and face cradle covers that have absolutely no blemishes. I always use a table warmer in the cooler months and use a smart plug so I can turn it on 30mins before I get to work. I keep myself in very good shape and am always well dressed with clothes that fit me properly, thanks to my tailor. My hands and fingernails are always clean and manicured. I installed acoustic sound panels on the walls to give the room a more intimate and cozy feeling. I run a white noise machine on very low setting that creates a subtle background drone. Everything in my room is of good quality, including furniture, decor and even lotions. I drape perfectly always making sure my clients feel secure, which includes pulling the sheet and blanket up a bit if drops too far past their iliac crest when face down. I only talk when spoken to. Quite a few more that I can’t think of as I’m on my way to work now!

edit: Ok, went to work and have some other 'touches' to add. I keep two small decorative bowls filled with hair ties and moist towelettes. I also provide a small leather handle shoe horn similar to these. Between every treatment I disinfect and clean the face cradle, arm rest, lotion bottle, bench, door handle and light switch.

Didn’t want to assume your size, so this is a set with short and long

It is a piece of wood or plastic with a u-shaped cutout that catches on your heel. You stand on it with one foot and use the cutout to pull your workboot or cowboy boot off the other foot.

Here’s a cheap example.
Though it’s better to get one made of wood with leather padding on the pulling part.

You need a special tool. I had great success with something like this

You dropped this.

This is the boot jack I use for my cowboy boots. Works very well and I have not noticed it leaving any marks on my boots.

Looks like a shoehorn

eta- like this one: https://www.amazon.com/31-Long-Handle-Shoe-Horn/dp/B013CXKH3Q

I personally like these metal sturdy ones

He actually got these plastic shoe horns. These exactly: Jasmine Seven - Shoe Horns for Kids - Pack of 4 (Multi) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0767LTTJ3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_4LHxDb7HVGKFQ

Pretty sure He used the green one lol. I brought the pink one home with me. But He placed the widest part inside the hole and wedged His cock in and once it was in He pulled it out from behind Himself like under His ass between His legs. It worked well. And then He fucked me and it went deeper. Then putting my legs above my head. Oh boy. It was great. I also want a PA piercing. I do think that would be a good idea to help open it up enough.

So... my wooden shoehorn broke, and I need a new shoehorn for my new Oxfords. There are loads on Amazon. Would this be fine? Any other ones?

Also, any recommendations for cheap shoe trees in the UK?

mannn these lux shoehorns are going mainstream.. i found golden skull, black panther and pink flamingo CWs on amazon.. no srsly

Last week I bought both of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Durable-Easy-Grip-Long-Handled-24-inch/dp/B004X6SWNE

I recommend both, they are very sturdy construction and thick metal/plastic. I love the metal shoe horn and it looks like it will hold up for a long time.

Cautions:

• Metal shoe horn is a bit wide (especially for narrow shoes)
  
• Plastic shoe horn is large (could be good or bad, probably best for boots)
  
  If anyone has a recommendation for a particularly thin shoe horn for narrow heeled shoes, please let me know.

I very happy with this one. It's stainless, and comfortable and a full 15."

If you ever need a replacement, these are incredibly sturdy.

shoe horn's are a thing

They actually make something called a boot jack: https://www.amazon.com/Jobsite-Premium-Puller-Rubber-Removing/dp/B00TY2MLES/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1506361247&sr=8-3&keywords=boot+jack

Why didn't I get your name in the gift exchange?!

A shoe horn (especially a long one) would allow you to put more force downward as you try inserting your foot.

Something like this would keep the entire back more stable while you put your foot in.
