A shoehorn or shoe horn is a tool that lets the user put on a shoe more easily. It does so by keeping the shoe open and by providing a smooth surface for the foot and the heel to move, without crushing the shoe's counter, in this way acting as a first class lever.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Shoehorn
