Kaps Metal Shoehorn – Navy Blue (17 cm)
The Kaps Metal Shoehorn in Navy Blue is a robust, compact dressing aid designed for durability and everyday convenience. At 17 cm (6.7 inches), it is the perfect intermediate size—small enough for travel and storage in a drawer, yet long enough to provide excellent leverage for all types of footwear. Crafted by Kaps, a family business with over 25 years of expertise in shoe care, this shoehorn is built to last significantly longer than plastic alternatives.
Key Features & Technical Design
- High-Quality Metal Construction: Made from solid, premium metal that will not bend, crack, or snap even when used with tight-fitting leather boots or stiff dress shoes.
- Smooth, Anti-Snag Edges: The design features perfectly smooth edges and a polished finish. This ensures that your heels glide into the shoe without scratching your skin or snagging delicate socks and stockings.
- Optimal Travel Length: At 17 cm, it fits easily into handbags, backpacks, or gym bags, making it an essential companion for the office, gym, or airport security lines.
- Elegant Navy Blue Finish: Unlike basic silver horns, this model features a professional navy blue coating that is both stylish and easy to spot in a dark bag or shoe rack.
- Ergonomic Heel Curve: The blade is anatomically shaped to mimic the curve of the human heel, providing a comfortable "track" for the foot to follow into the shoe.
- Integrated Hanging Hole: The handle includes a pre-drilled hole, allowing you to hang it on a hallway hook or attach a leather loop for easy access.
Why Use the Kaps 17 cm Shoehorn?
- Preserves Shoe Shape: It prevents the "heel crush" effect, where the back counter of the shoe is deformed by the weight of the foot. This is the most effective way to keep your shoes looking new for years.
- Improves Foot Health: By reducing friction during entry, it helps prevent blisters on the heel and skin irritation caused by struggling into tight shoes.
- Professional Reliability: Kaps is a trusted European brand known for medical-grade and professional shoe accessories, ensuring a higher standard of manufacture than generic alternatives.
Ideal Applications
- Sneakers & Sports Shoes: Perfect for slipping into snug trainers without crushing the cushioned heel.
- Leather Dress Shoes: A must-have for stiff Oxfords or Derbies that require a smooth entry to maintain their formal structure.
- Travel & Commuting: Its compact 17 cm profile makes it the "Goldilocks" size for portability.
