Nico Design Extra-Long Shoehorn with Hellrider Handle

Repeatedly forcing your feet into footwear can wear down your shoes, and for those with back pain, the constant bending motion can be an uncomfortable chore. Allowing you to effortlessly slip your foot into your shoe, the Nico Design Extra-Long Shoehorn with Hellrider Handle is an ideal solution, and is designed with a unique skull handle to make it a stylish accessory.

Who Is the Shoehorn For?

Shoe horns assist in slipping a tightly fitting shoe over the end of a foot. Those who suffer from back-pain or inflexibility will be delighted to learn a shoehorn allows you to put your shoes on standing up! 

How Does the Shoehorn Protect Your Shoes from Damage? 

Repeatedly shoving a shoe off and on can damage it. The shoehorn scoop slides in between your heel and the heel cup of the shoe, protecting it from damage. 

What Is the Handle Design? 

Pulling on your biker boots, or your funeral-black brogues? This sinister skull handle will help you slide into your shoes without appearing any less malevolent. 

What Is the Shoehorn Made From? 

The shoehorn is 70cm long, and made primarily from cellulose acetate. The centrepiece is made from rich, varnished wood, and the head is coated plastic. 

History of the Shoehorn

One of the first historical mentions of the shoehorn was from the 16th century, when Queen Elizabeth ordered 18 shoehorns to assist her with her royal footwear. In the past, shoehorns were made from the horns of animals, ivy, shell, silver or bone. This shoehorn is reminiscent of this type of stylish accessory, designed with a shining, elegant handle.

How Do You Use a Long Shoehorn? 

1. Remain standing
2. Position your shoehorn so the scoop is upward and faces your heel
3. Hold onto the handle and slide your foot down the tool and into your shoe
4. Remove the shoe horn when your foot is fully in the shoe

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit

Using Your Shoe Size

For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.

Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.

Measuring Your Current Insoles

While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.

To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
2. Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
3. Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?

The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.

The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab

What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?

If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.

Trimming Your Insoles to Fit

To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:

1. Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
2. Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
3. Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
4. Carefully cut along the traced line
5. Your insoles should now fit your shoes better

Carefully trace the outline of your insole

Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
