A shoehorn (sometimes called a shoespoon) is a tool that allows the user to put on a shoe more easily. It does so by keeping the shoe open and by providing a smooth surface for the foot and particularly the heel to move, without crushing the shoe's counter (the vertical portion of the shoe that wraps around the back of the foot), in this way acting as a first class lever. Originally, shoe horns were made from animal horns and some made from bulls' horns are still available for purchase.
