Do you own and/or use a shoehorn?

Poll question: Do you own and/or use a shoehorn?

I found one in an old pair of golf spikes recently. Didn't even know I owned one. Never had much use for 'em.

You?

[unblock]

1. yup. and my life is so much better for it.

skinny ankles and a big heels, shoes that taper at the ankles.
i used to loosen the laces down to the last eyelets to get shoes on, now i just loosen the top eyelets and shoehorn in.

i have the cheap, tiny metal shoehorn, not the really long kind for people who can't bend over or are playing stuffy or snobby parts in movies.

3. If I was gonna have one,

I'd want one of the long ones. With some cool decorations in the handle. That doubled as a pipe.

2. Yes, I own one... but no clue why or from wherest it came....

Things that make me go "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"

:hi:

[short bus president]

5. Maybe at one point

you had a pair of uncomfortably small shoes?

:hi: Hey Miz Lou_Who! How's shit wif you?

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

8. No.... I've never used one, ever.... to my recollection.

I don't wear uncomfortable shoes. I am picky like that.

I am good... I am frankensteining PC's now. How's SBP today? Do you feel charming?

[short bus president]

15. Frankensteining, are ya?

Did you remember to resycnhronize yer flux capacitor to the dilithium decay rate of the front side bus?

And yes, of COURSE I feel charming. Disarmingly so, even. ;-)

4. Other: No, because if you need a shoehorn to get the things on,

then they're too tight and you should get rid of them. Too-tight shoes can lead to serious problems down the road.

I used to sell men's tailored clothing, and take it from me, if your shoes hurt, your tie chokes you and your suit trousers make a red-irritated line across your waist, THEY DON'T FIT RIGHT!

'nuff said. B-)

edited for spelling.

6. I hear ya!

Though I'm strictly a mumu kinda guy, myself... ;-)

19. you must have missed my post

i agree, if the shoe is too tight, get new shoes.

shoehorns are for shoes that are tight to get in, not to be in.

7. I haven't used a shoehorn since I wore saddle shoes.

In 1974.

[short bus president]

10. Good year, that.

For saddle shoes, anyway. But do you still OWN a shoehorn? Seems to me it's something most of us have, but very few know why.

[Left Is Write]

17. No. As far as I know, there is no shoehorn in this house.

I'd have to ask my husband if he's got one lurking somewhere before I'd be 100% sure.

[short bus president]

18. Bet he's got one somewhere.

Sock drawer, most likely. ;-)

[Worst Username Ever]

9. Worst. Poll. Ever.

[short bus president]

12. you missed

my "favorite minute of the day between midnight and nine after midnight" poll.

:P

[blondeatlast]

11. Other, I own one for boots.

Honestly, it's never used for another purpose.

Girl Scout's honor.

[short bus president]

13. Must be one of the long ones.

I had a tough time for a second there picturing using a regular shoehorn inside a boot. ;-)

[Schema Thing]

14. Other: Not a bad way to eat ice cream, not bad at all!

[short bus president]

16. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Sock fuzz & toejam surprise!

[RC]

20. Have it hanging by the freezer, do ya?

[donheld]

21. I haven't seen a shoehorn in years

[RC]

22. Is that his & hers or Left & Right?

Vanilla & chocolate?

[donheld]

39. they are his and his

;)

[hollywood926]

23. I use one to give myself annual pelvic exams.

Those things are so cold.

[RC]

24. Here, let me warm that for you.

[AlienGirl]

25. The kind with teeth?

[short bus president]

27. Erm...

teeth?

:scared:

[AlienGirl]

29. Do you know there's no such thing?

[short bus president]

31. as a shoehorn with teeth?

Are there shoeteeth with horns?

[AlienGirl]

35. What's the sense in ever thinking 'bout the tomb...

[FuzzySlippers]

26. What on earth is wrong with you?

This is as far from a sex or a lounge-stalking thread as it's possible to get.

[short bus president]

30. Not really.

Maybe I have a foot and/or shoe fetish. Or maybe I like to be spanked with a shoehorn. Ever think of THAT? The spatula gets old after awhile, you know? :P

[FuzzySlippers]

33. Oh OK.

I was worried the world had gone all topsy-turvy there for a moment.

[bleedingheart]

28. makes a great impromptu ice cream scoop...

[short bus president]

32. That's two responses involving ice cream...

I do hope you people disinfect things before the dual-use.

[bleedingheart]

34. that's what gives it that unique flavor!!!

:evilgrin:

[RC]

37. Wouldn't want to get ice cream in your shoe.

Makes things kinda sticky.

[Placebo]

36. Umm, okay.

:eyes:

[short bus president]

38. roll yer eyes at me again

and I'll pluck 'em out with a shoehorn! Y'all got NUTHIN' on the Cackalacky Mob. :P

[Kire]

40. the salesman made me feel like a vicious brute, the way I put shoes on

But, my shoes are falling apart now. Maybe if I used them, I wouldn't need new ones like he said.
