Plus one for shoehorn, underrated and my friends always make fun of me for using one for some reason. Meanwhile I'm standing with my shoes on comfy while they tear their fingers up trying to slide their shoes on
Literally never "torn my fingers up" while putting on shoes, and I'm the kind that ties them once when I buy them and never again. Either your friends wear iron shoes or this is a really extreme exaggeration.
If you tie your shoes using the "runners knot", which most sporty shoes are designed for and eliminates heel slip, you will have a hard time getting them on without a shoe horn or having to re-lace them every time.
You won't find a house in Scandinavia without a shoe horn, it's fascinating how rare they are in the US and most of Europe
For extra dork points I get on marketed for geriatrics that's a full meter long so you don't have to bend down to put your shoes on.
Shout-out to Kiziks. Never tying my shoes again
