1. Inspiration & Design
Each shoehorn begins with a vision. Our designers seek to blend timeless function with refined beauty, reimagining a daily ritual into something exceptional. From slender silhouettes to bold, sculptural curves — each new design carries its own identity. No two are alike.
2. Selecting the Material
We source only the finest natural materials — including polished ox horn, rare hardwoods, and high-quality metals. Especially prized are horn blanks with unique marbling and translucent veining. Like fingerprints, no two pieces are the same. Choosing the right one is the first act of artistry.
3. Crafting the Form
Using both traditional hand tools and modern techniques, our artisans shape each shoehorn to follow the natural contour of the heel. Whether long-handled or compact, the form is refined again and again — until it feels effortless in the hand and smooth in use.
4. Finishing & Detailing
Each shoehorn is polished by hand to a lustrous finish — whether the natural shine of horn, the satin glow of oiled wood, or the mirror sheen of metal. Handles may be adorned with accents in brass, sterling silver, or engraved monograms for a bespoke touch.
5. The Final Touch
Before it leaves our workshop, each shoehorn is tested for comfort, balance, and durability. It is then wrapped and packaged with the same care that shaped it. No machines. No shortcuts. Just the quiet pride of human hands.

The Shoehorn Guide
Everything You Need to Know
Helpful answers to common questions
Choosing the Right Length & Style
Shoehorns come in various lengths and silhouettes, each serving a distinct purpose:
Long-handled styles (typically 16–24") are ideal for home use and ensure ease without the need to bend — perfect for those who value comfort and grace.
Compact travel-sized versions slip easily into a briefcase or carry-on — a discreet luxury for the well-dressed gentleman on the move.
Curved or straight design? A curved profile follows the heel naturally, offering a smoother slide-in, while straight forms bring minimalist precision.
The choice lies not just in function, but in how you wish to experience the everyday.
Care & Maintenance
To preserve the beauty and integrity of your shoehorn, we recommend:
Horn and Wood: Wipe occasionally with a soft cloth. A touch of natural oil or beeswax will maintain luster and prevent drying or cracking.
Metal: Simply polish with a dry microfiber cloth to retain its shine. Avoid moisture to prevent tarnish.
Resin: Clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Keep away from extreme temperatures.
Always store in a dry, temperate environment. Like all fine objects, a well-made shoehorn rewards the care it’s given.
How to Use a Shoehorn Properly
1. Loosen your laces (if applicable), allowing the foot to glide naturally.
2. Insert the shoehorn gently behind the heel, guiding it between your sock and the shoe.
3. Slide your foot down as the horn supports the counter — no pulling, no pushing.
4. Withdraw the shoehorn with care once the foot is comfortably in place.
This simple ritual not only extends the life of your shoes but adds a moment of quiet ceremony to your day.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The material of a shoehorn is more than an aesthetic decision — it speaks to heritage, durability, and sensorial pleasure. We offer:
Polished Horn: A classic of British tradition. Each piece is unique, with organic variations that only nature can provide. Smooth, cool to the touch, and gently flexible.
Hand-turned Wood: Warm, tactile, and enduring. Often sourced from ash, cherry, or walnut — each wooden shoehorn is as individual as its grain.
Brass or Stainless Steel: Sleek, minimalist, and virtually indestructible. A favourite among those who prefer weight and precision.
Premium Resin: Lightweight, modern, and available in a palette of refined tones — ideal for contemporary lifestyles.
Each shoehorn in our collection is handcrafted by skilled artisans, with attention paid to balance, grip, and finish.
Packaging & Gifting
Is this cane suitable as a gift?
Absolutely. Each shoehorn comes in a black box with protective wrapping — perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or retirements.
Can I add a personal touch?
Yes, we offer engraving on select shoehorn models — initials, dates, or short phrases.
Is there a gift receipt or message?
Yes. At checkout, you can include a personal message and choose to hide prices on the packing slip.
