I feel like I’ve tried everything available in all the stores, at the shoe stores, I’ve bought the “good” ones off Amazon, the DUBEFWEE style brands too.

They all break or deform within a year, I can’t take it

    Get a new one. Go to a shoe cobbler, also to a good shoe store. Then show them your technique. I found it odd that you are bending them so soon. Have them watch you use it. Maybe it’s your technique.

      “Ah, user error.”

      All kidding aside, I use a brass and wood shoehorn that I inherited from my grandparents. Thing is at least 50 years old.

      Whatever you’re doing, it’s not the horn.
