The gripper holds the shoe in position while the shoehorn guides the foot in, allowing shoe donning from a standing or seated position without forward bending. The smooth plastic shoehorn glides the foot in without damaging shoe backs. The tool also functions as a reaching aid for lightweight objects. Lightweight, durable plastic construction.

Physical therapy and rehabilitation programs that include adaptive equipment training for lower-body dressing tasks will find this a standard, widely recommended long-handled shoehorn option. Home health aides and caregivers assisting patients with shoe donning as part of a daily dressing routine will find the shoe gripper a practical feature that stabilizes footwear during the process. Users who prefer to don shoes independently while standing will find the 32-inch length provides sufficient reach for most standard footwear without requiring forward bending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the shoe gripper work alongside the shoehorn?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe shoe gripper catches onto the back of the shoe, holding it steady while the shoehorn guides the foot in. Without a gripper, shoes tend to slide or tip over during foot insertion. The gripper anchors the shoe in place, allowing the foot to be inserted smoothly with one hand on the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between this 32-inch shoehorn and the 24-inch dressing aid stick?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 32-inch tool is specifically designed for shoe donning — the shoe gripper and shoehorn combination makes it the more effective choice for footwear. The 24-inch dressing aid stick (BJ100140) is designed primarily for pulling on and adjusting clothing, with a smooth S-hook, and also includes a shoehorn. If the primary need is shoes, this 32-inch tool is the better choice. If both clothing and shoe assistance are needed, the 24-inch dressing stick covers both tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this recommended after hip replacement surgery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA long-handled shoehorn is one of the standard adaptive equipment items recommended by occupational therapists for patients with hip precautions following hip replacement surgery. The 32-inch length allows shoe donning from a seated position without forward bending past typical hip precaution limits. Your occupational therapist will demonstrate the correct technique as part of your post-operative rehabilitation program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat types of shoes work best with this tool?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis shoehorn and gripper works best with slip-on shoes, loafers, sneakers, and dress shoes with a standard heel counter. It is less effective with very stiff or narrow heel openings, high-top shoes, or boots where the opening is too small for the shoehorn to fit comfortably. Shoes with elastic or no-tie lace systems are practical companions for this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Jay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40388763549750,"sku":"BJ100160","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1443\/4772\/products\/blue-jay-reaching-aids-accessories-default-title-blue-jay-32-inch-extra-long-shoehorn-and-shoe-gripper-2-in-1-23632203677750.jpg?v=1788639449","url":"https:\/\/www.precisionlabworks.com\/en-ca\/products\/blue-jay-32-inch-extra-long-shoehorn-and-shoe-gripper-2-in-1","provider":"Precision Lab Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
