Shoehorn Care

Proper care will keep your shoehorn elegant, durable, and comfortable to use for years.

Cleaning

Wipe the shoehorn with a soft, dry cloth after regular use to remove dust and moisture.

For wooden shoehorns, use a slightly damp cloth if needed, then dry immediately.

For metal or horn shoehorns, polish gently with a soft cloth to maintain shine.

Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the surface or finish.

General Care

Use the shoehorn gently—do not bend or force it under tight footwear.

Avoid stepping on the shoehorn, as this may cause cracking or deformation.

If the shoehorn has a wooden handle, occasionally apply a light wood polish or natural oil to preserve its texture and color.

Keep decorative or engraved areas clean to maintain their refined appearance.

Storage

Store the shoehorn in a dry place away from excessive humidity or direct sunlight.

Hang it using the provided loop or place it flat to prevent warping.

When traveling, keep the shoehorn in a protective sleeve to avoid scratches.

Maintenance & Replacement

Inspect the shoehorn periodically for cracks, sharp edges, or loosened parts.

Smooth minor rough areas with a soft cloth or fine polishing material if appropriate.

If the shoehorn becomes damaged or loses its structural integrity, discontinue use and replace it to protect your footwear and ensure comfort.
