Good For Those Who Need A Longer Shoehorn And It Passes Security
Purchased this shoehorn for travel. At home I use a single piece 31-inch shoehorn similar to the HOUNDSBAY 31.5" Extra Long Handled Metal Shoehorn. I tried going on a cruise with it and was sent to security. In a room with other people being inspected, they opened my suitcase and took out the shoehorn. They asked me what it was. I told them an extra-long shoehorn. They called a supervisor over and he just laughed at them and waved me through. They thought it was a sword or weapon of some kind. I never tried to carry it anywhere again.<br /><br />I saw this telescoping shoehorn. Collapsed, it’s short and does not appear to be a weapon. Took it on a cruise and no questions asked. This is now my travel shoehorn. It’s somewhat compact, about 14 inches, but extends to over 36 inches. The only issue I have is it’s a bit thick on the horn part. The one piece is thin metal all the way down and is much easier to get my foot into a shoe. But I can live with this minor deficiency.<br /><br />When I first saw it, I thought it looked very familiar. The shaft looked exactly like my Velbon monopod. Exact same twisting motion to unlock and lock it. Even the white dots on the sections looked identical to the Velbon. It has the same feel to it too. Maybe it’s from the same manufacturing company. I’ve used the monopod for over 10 years and it’s still a solid performer. I have no doubt this will also last me a long time.<br /><br />Highly recommend this for people who love to travel and can use a longer shoehorn.
