The Homecraft Plastic Shoehorn is a one-piece moulded plastic shoehorn with a long, curved handle that extends the user's reach, so that shoes can be put on without bending down to the foot. The length lets the handle be held at a comfortable height while the blade sits at the back of the shoe and guides the heel in. At 43 cm (17 inch) long and only 37 g in weight, it is light enough to keep in a bag or a suitcase and use while away from home, which makes it practical for travel as well as for everyday dressing. A loop is attached to the handle so the shoehorn can be hung within easy reach, for instance on a hook inside a wardrobe or beside the door. It suits anyone who finds bending or reaching the feet difficult.

Dressing is often where independence is lost first, and a long-handled shoehorn removes the need to bend to floor level or lift the foot up to the hand. At 37 g it travels easily, and the hanging loop means it stays where the user left it rather than ending up out of reach on the floor.
