I have arthritis and am unable to get right slip-on trainer on.
My DH bless him sent for an extendable shoehorn, which was ideal for about a week, but flimsy so fell apart.
I have been looking at more expensive ones. I want one that can fit in my handbag but extends long enough to get the trainers on.
I am asking Gransnet as someone may have one that they use.

I have a long - but not telescopic - one which Paw found invaluable as I do now.
I think I got it from Hotter but I have just Googled and they are available everywhere from Amazon to Wilko!
I rather liked this one on Amazon

Ah sorry, it is not expendable, so not easy to take in bag.

Lots of flimsy-looking cheap ones on Ebay, but this one might work.
telescopic shoe horn Good luck with your search.

Mine is one end back scratcher and the other end shoe horn I bought it years ago in Liverpool city centre.

Mine are also from Ikea. 90 p. I have two, both at home one by the back door and one fir the front. Strong and do the job.
I found a collapsable one recently but it’s awkward and twists at the moment you try to put it into your shoe.
I have taken my long one out shoe shopping...had to keep a watch fir small people in pushchairs.
