How do i use a shoe horn?

[katzglitterytree]

i've bought some boots which i can't quite get my foot into the foot bit off, there knee high boots with no zip, now i think a shoe horn might help but how? before i go and see if the neighbours have one i can borrow.

behind the heel

lol, good luck getting them off too!

would a shoe horn help? i've never used one.

They are just sooo lovely and exactly what i wanted and were a bargian at 37.50 for leather knee high boots

Wouldn't you need a special boot shoe horn ie a shoe horn with a long handle?

okay gonna sound really stupid now, what exactly can a shoe horn do?

would you belive i have a PhD!!!

Shoe horn may help, but it would have to be a really long one (sell them in Debenhams). I lol at putting boots on as I have recently bought some myself, and I had so much trouble getting them off my feet!!
The 'horn' bit of the shoe horn sits behind your heel and helps the shoe go over your heel (basically instead of using/squashing your fingers). Have a look on ebay or do a search to look at some on the net. (cant do a link, otherwise I would look for you!)

thanks, they only just won't go round the heal bit and i'm hoping its just because the leather is a bit stiff due to them being new

They will probably be ok after youve worn them couple of times. Wear them indoors to break them in!
