The VITILITY Shoehorn Extra Long is designed for people who want an easier, steadier way to slip into shoes without bending down, twisting awkwardly, or overreaching. With its generous 79 cm length, this extra long shoehorn helps you keep a more comfortable posture while you guide your heel into place. It’s the kind of simple daily aid that quickly becomes part of your routine: pick it up, slide your foot in, hang it back up, and get on with your plans.\r\n\r\nThe first thing you’ll notice is the reach. An extra long shoehorn changes the whole experience of putting on footwear because it reduces the need to lean forward. If your back feels stiff in the morning, if your knees complain when you squat, or if your hips don’t love a deep bend, the longer handle lets you stay more upright. Many people also appreciate the added control if balance is sometimes unpredictable. Instead of shifting your weight and stretching to reach the heel of the shoe, you can stay seated in a chair or stand in a stable position and use the length to do the work.\r\n\r\nBecause the VITILITY Shoehorn Extra Long is lightweight, it’s easy to handle day after day. That matters more than you might think. A heavy shoehorn can feel tiring, especially if grip strength or arm strength varies from one day to the next. This one is made to feel comfortable in the hand and simple to maneuver, so it’s well-suited for everyday independence. Whether you’re getting ready at the front door, beside your bed, or near your favorite chair, it’s easy to pick up, position, and use in one smooth motion.\r\n\r\nComfort isn’t only about you—it’s also about your shoes. Anyone who has ever crushed the back of a shoe while trying to force a foot in knows how quickly a favorite pair can lose its shape. This long handled shoehorn has a smooth, rounded end and a gentle curve that helps your heel glide into place rather than snagging or scraping. The goal is a controlled slide that protects the shoe’s lining and heel counter while also making the movement feel calmer and more predictable. Over time, using a shoe horn like this can help your everyday shoes look better for longer, simply because you’re not folding and flattening the back every time you put them on.\r\n\r\nThe 79 cm length is a standout feature, and it answers a common question shoppers have: “Is extra long really necessary?” If you usually slip your shoes on without thinking, a standard shoehorn might be enough. But if bending is uncomfortable, if you prefer to stay seated while getting dressed, or if you’re trying to avoid strain on your back, hips, and knees, the extra reach can make a noticeable difference. It gives you more space to keep your posture stable while still placing the shoehorn exactly where it needs to be. It’s especially helpful during busy moments—when you’re trying to get out the door, when you’re tired at the end of the day, or when you simply want to do things yourself without asking for a hand.\r\n\r\nThis VITILITY shoehorn is also designed to live neatly in your home. There’s an integrated opening at the handle, so you can hang it on a hook, nail, or coat rack. That small detail matters for everyday convenience. Instead of dropping it into a drawer (and then having to rummage for it later), you can keep it right where you put your shoes on. Hanging storage also helps keep hallways tidy and reduces the chance of it ending up underfoot. It’s ready when you need it, and it has a clear “home” when you don’t.\r\n\r\nYou might be wondering what types of footwear it works best with. In general, the VITILITY Shoehorn Extra Long is made for most closed-heel shoes: trainers, sneakers, casual lace-ups, loafers, and many dress shoes. If you have shoes with a firmer heel, you’ll likely appreciate how the curve helps guide your foot in without forcing the back down. For very soft-backed shoes, or styles with a more delicate structure, you’ll just want to take a little extra care to keep the shoe steady and align the shoehorn smoothly. Backless footwear like mules or open-back sandals won’t require a shoehorn, but for the shoes most people wear for errands, work, or daily walks, an extra long shoe horn is an easy upgrade.\r\n\r\nUsing it is straightforward, even if you’ve never used a long shoehorn before. Place your shoe on the floor in a stable position. If you’re seated, bring the shoe into a comfortable reach. Slide the rounded end of the shoehorn down the inside of the heel area, then let your heel follow the curve as you guide your foot in. You don’t need to push hard—gentle guidance is the point. Once your foot is in, remove the shoehorn smoothly. If you’re someone who feels a bit unsteady, it’s perfectly fine to sit down, take your time, and focus on staying balanced rather than rushing. The whole design is about making the motion feel easier and safer in everyday life.\r\n\r\nCleaning and care are refreshingly simple. For most households, a quick wipe with a soft, damp cloth is all it takes. Dry it afterward to keep it looking neat. Harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers aren’t necessary and could dull the smooth finish, so a gentle clean is best. If you hang it by the door, an occasional dusting keeps it fresh and ready for daily use.\r\n\r\nA long handled shoehorn is also a thoughtful, practical gift. It’s useful for anyone who values convenience, as well as people whose flexibility, balance, or energy changes from day to day. It can be especially appreciated during recovery periods when bending is not ideal, or simply as a small tool that helps maintain independence. It doesn’t demand a big lifestyle change—just a better way to do something you already do.\r\n\r\nQuick common questions, answered: The extra-long 79 cm length is there to reduce bending and reaching, making it easier to keep a comfortable posture while putting on shoes. It works with most closed-heel footwear and is intended to be gentle on both your heel and your shoes. Storage is simple thanks to the hanging opening, and basic wipe-clean care keeps it looking good.\r\n\r\nThe VITILITY Shoehorn Extra Long (79 cm) is a small addition to your routine that can make mornings smoother, exits quicker, and everyday movement feel more manageable. If you’re looking for a lightweight extra long shoehorn that’s comfortable to use, easy to store, and designed for daily reliability, this is a simple solution that quietly improves the way you step into your day.","brand":"VITILITY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55910409863512,"sku":"70110710","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/7811\/7976\/files\/vitility_shoehorn_extra_long_70110710_p1.jpg?v=1773752518"},{"product_id":"dressing-stick-foam","title":"Dressing stick - foam","description":"Getting dressed should feel like the start of your day, not the first obstacle. The VITILITY Dressing Stick with Foam Grip \u0026amp; Shoehorn is designed for people who want an easier, more independent routine with less bending, reaching, and awkward twisting. Whether you’re dealing with stiffness in the morning, temporary mobility changes, or simply prefer tools that make daily tasks smoother, this dressing stick helps you stay in control of the little moments that set the tone for everything else.\r\n\r\nAt its core, this is a simple, reliable dressing aid: a long-handled dressing stick with a versatile hook on one end and a smooth, integrated shoehorn on the other. What makes it feel especially user-friendly is the thick, cushioned foam grip. It sits softly in your hand and gives you a steadier, more comfortable hold—particularly helpful if your hands tire easily, if you have a weaker grip, or if you just want more confidence when guiding clothing into place. Instead of pinching fabric with your fingers and straining your shoulders, you can use calm, controlled movements while staying in a more relaxed posture.\r\n\r\nThe hook end is made for everyday clothing tasks that often require extra flexibility. Think of guiding a jacket or cardigan up and over your shoulders without reaching behind your back. Or pulling a shirt hem down smoothly without bending forward. Or catching a waistband or pant loop to help bring trousers up your legs. Many people also use a dressing stick to manage socks: hooking the edge to help slide them off with less effort, especially when bending down is uncomfortable. The goal isn’t to “do anything for you” in a complicated way—it’s to extend your reach so you can dress and undress at your own pace, with fewer uncomfortable angles.\r\n\r\nThen there’s the shoehorn end, which turns this into an even more practical daily tool. If you’ve ever tried to step into shoes while balancing, struggling with a tight heel, or worrying about crushing the back of the shoe, a shoehorn can make the process feel smoother and more predictable. With the VITILITY dressing stick, you don’t need to switch tools or hunt for a separate shoehorn. It’s right there on the opposite end, ready when you are. This can be especially helpful during morning routines when you’re trying to keep your momentum going—get dressed, get your shoes on, and move on with your day.\r\n\r\nBecause the VITILITY Dressing Stick with Foam Grip \u0026amp; Shoehorn is intended for real homes and real schedules, it’s made to be intuitive. There’s no assembly and no complicated parts to manage. You simply pick it up, choose the end you need, and use small, steady motions. Many people find it easiest to start while seated—on the bed, a sturdy chair, or a bench—so they can stay balanced and take their time. Over a few uses, you’ll naturally develop your own techniques, like which angle works best to guide a sleeve, or how to catch fabric without tugging too hard.\r\n\r\nA common question buyers have is whether a dressing stick is only for putting clothes on. This one is meant for both dressing and undressing. The hook can help pull clothing into place, but it can also help you remove items with more control. For example, you can catch the edge of a sock to ease it off, or hook a garment gently to slide it down your arm without overreaching. It’s also useful for managing layers—like repositioning a robe, pulling a sweater down evenly, or helping a jacket sit comfortably on your shoulders.\r\n\r\nAnother question is who this tool is “for.” The honest answer: anyone who wants less strain and more independence. Some people choose a dressing stick because they’re recovering and want to follow movement guidelines that limit bending or twisting. Others keep it around because they live with ongoing mobility challenges or reduced flexibility. And some people simply like having smart self-care tools that make daily life easier. This is not a clinical-feeling gadget; it’s a practical lifestyle aid that supports privacy, comfort, and dignity in day-to-day routines.\r\n\r\nThe foam handle plays a bigger role than you might expect. When your grip feels secure and comfortable, you tend to move more steadily and with less frustration. That can make the whole process calmer—especially during mornings when you’re trying to get ready and you don’t want to start the day already fatigued. The thickened foam grip also helps the dressing stick feel more natural in your hand, which is important for tasks like guiding a sleeve or positioning a shoehorn where control matters.\r\n\r\nUsing the shoehorn side effectively is also simpler than many people think. Place your shoe on a stable surface, position the shoehorn at the heel opening to create a smooth “ramp,” and slide your foot in with gentle pressure. If the shoe tends to move, steady it against the floor with your other foot, or keep it braced in place before you step down. Small, controlled motions usually work better than rushing. Over time, it becomes a quick, dependable step—especially helpful if you regularly wear shoes that fit snugly or have stiffer heel counters.\r\n\r\nMaintenance is minimal, which matters for something you’ll likely use every day. If it picks up lint or fibers from clothing, a quick wipe is usually enough. For general cleaning, use a soft damp cloth with mild soap if needed, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking, since you want to keep the foam grip feeling comfortable and the tool ready for regular use. Many users like to store it somewhere it’s always within easy reach: by the bed, near the closet, in the bathroom, or next to a favorite chair.\r\n\r\nIf you’re wondering whether you need special instructions before using it, the best approach is to start simple. Try it first with loose-fitting clothing so you can learn the feel of the hook and how much pressure you need. Focus on steady movements and a comfortable posture. The dressing stick is designed to work with your routine, not force you into a new one.\r\n\r\nQuick FAQ-style answers:\r\nYes, you can use the VITILITY dressing stick for both putting on and taking off clothes. Yes, it can be helpful for limited flexibility or temporary mobility changes because it reduces the need to bend and overreach. And no, you don’t need to assemble it—just pick it up and use it. With its foam grip for comfort and its integrated shoehorn for convenience, the VITILITY Dressing Stick with Foam Grip \u0026amp; Shoehorn is a small daily upgrade that can make a noticeable difference in how smooth, calm, and independent getting dressed feels.","brand":"VITILITY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55910410256728,"sku":"80110050","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/7811\/7976\/files\/vitility_dressing_stick_foam_80110050_p1.jpg?v=1778066288"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/7811\/7976\/collections\/sl_sfeer-1141806.webp?v=1778066355","url":"https:\/\/www.vitility.com\/collections\/shoehorns.oembed","provider":"VITILITY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
