How to use a shoehorn with barefoot trainers

A shoehorn guides the heel into a trainer and can help avoid crushing the back edge. Loosen the laces first: a shoehorn cannot create room in a shoe that is too tight.

Step by step

Sit down or choose a stable position. Loosen the laces fully and place a smooth shoehorn inside the shoe against the back edge. Slide your heel slowly along it, remove the horn, straighten the tongue and tie comfortably. Never force your foot into the shoe.

If the shoe is still hard to put on

Check that the tongue is clear and the fastening is loose enough. Pressure over the toes or instep may mean the size or shape is unsuitable. Choose a smooth shoehorn without sharp edges; it is not a support for your body weight.
