Hi

A shoe horn is a dressing aid used to help guide feet into tight-fitting dress shoes, sports shoes or boots. The shoe horn's blade is placed firmly against the back of the shoe (called the counter in footwear terminology) and the user's heel slides against the smooth surface of the horn. The shoe horn is then removed without damaging or warping the 'counter'. Some shoe horn models feature an extended handle, while others have a short blade which curves into a handle.

Thanks

Teak Furniture

Today's teak furniture market is driven by consumers who know and appreciate the qualities and longevity of teak furniture. In addition to its reputation for durability, teak furniture is known for its rich warm color and satiny smooth surface. Patio furniture is a prime example of fine teak furniture, but teak is also fashioned into outdoor decking, indoor tables and chairs, and executive office furniture.

A shoe horn may be constructed from metals such as aluminum, brass or stainless steel with an epoxy coating. Plastic is also a common shoe horn construction material, along with bone or ivory. One end of the shoe horn ends in a rounded blade curved to fit the interior of most shoes.
