Luxury Shoe Horn with 15" Handle Handmade Fort Belvedere

A shoe horn is an essential tool when putting on a pair of shoes, so why not own one that performs comfortably and conveniently and appears gorgeous while doing so? At approximately 15” long, this shoe horn is the perfect length for putting on shoes while sitting, expediting the entire process without compromising on a good fit or protection for your shoes.  Unlike lower quality examples, this shoe horn is more than just a simple tool.

With a gorgeous luster that catches the light beautifully, you will feel like the classic gentleman that you are every time that you don a pair of shoes with the help of this stately implement. A further aristocratic air is imparted by the dignified Fort Belvedere crest, which tastefully graces the exterior of the shoe horn.  

1. Ideal Material. There is a reason that shoe horns are called “shoe horns,” and it is the fact that, historically, shoe horns were always made from horn! The natural proteins and keratin that make up horn are both remarkably pliable and extremely durable, so they can bend to help your foot slip into your shoes without damaging the structural leather in the heel counter.

2. Quality Horn. Fort Belvedere uses the best quality horn, harvested from India. Horn of this quality is lightweight but also durable, able to resist regular use without cracking or splintering and without compromising on strength or functionality.  

3. Handmade. These shoe horns are carved by hand from a single water buffalo horn, a delicate and time consuming process rarely undertaken by most manufacturers. Sourcing each shoe horn from individual horns, however, ensures a truly one-of-a-kind and beautiful item because no two horns are exactly alike, so each has its own unique grain and coloration.

4. Convenient. At about 15” long, this shoe horn is the perfect length to help you put on your shoes from a more comfortable seated position. The handle allows you to properly position the shoe horn and slip your foot in without having to awkwardly bend in closer to your foot.  

5. Environmentally Conscious. Unlike cheap plastic shoe horns, shoe horns made from genuine horn are designed to last and serve as beautiful but functional heirlooms for years to come. Fort Belvedere is dedicated to environmentally sustainable and ethical practices, and these shoe horns are no exception: made from 100% organic materials, they keep our landfills free from plastics and other synthetics.

When you have gone to the effort of investing in high-quality, well-made shoes, the last thing that you want to do is damage your investment every time that you put them on. But the fact of the matter is, whenever you put on shoes without the aid of a shoe horn, that is exactly what you are doing. 

A close fit in the heel is the sign of a well-fitted shoe, so you need a shoehorn to help guide and slip your heel easily into that perfect fit. Without a shoe horn, the action of jamming your foot down the throat of the shoe will slowly but surely crush the heel counter, comprising the fit, distorting the leather, and adversely affecting the overall longevity of the shoe.   

Made from high-quality, ethically-sourced genuine Indian horn, this shoe horn allows you to comfortably put on your shoes without doing any damage to the shoe themselves, ensuring a more comfortable fit and a longer life for your shoes
