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

    I’m surprised so many people here use them. I remember seeing one in my grandparents house in the 80s and thinking it was a relic then.

    From dress shoes to hiking boots to sneakers to you name it, I’ve never needed assistance getting a shoe on or off. What is their purpose?

        Huh. Never had an issue even with nice shoes. I guess I just have slippery feet.

        I actually do have some joint hyper mobility so maybe that’s why I don’t see the utility of it? Dunno.

      I am surprised also, the only person I know that uses one is an old cowboy that got hit by a truck 45 years ago and has mobility issues. He has a long wooden one, possibly designed for riding boots.
