Your Back Will Thank You

Bending down to wrestle with tight shoes puts unnecessary strain on your lower back — every single day. Glyde extends to a comfortable working length so you can slip your foot in while standing perfectly upright.

Whether you have back problems, joint pain, or simply want to get out of the door faster, Glyde makes getting dressed that little bit easier every morning.

Small Enough for Any Pocket

Most shoehorns are too long to carry around — so they sit by the door and are useless when you actually need them. Glyde’s retractable mechanism collapses it down to a size that fits in a jacket pocket, a handbag, or a travel bag with ease.

Keep one at home, one in your bag, one at the office. At this price, there’s no reason not to have it everywhere you need it.

Built to Last a Lifetime

Cheap plastic shoehorns crack. Cheap metal ones bend. Glyde is made from solid stainless steel with a smooth satin finish that won’t rust, tarnish or wear away with daily use.

The retractable mechanism is precision-engineered to extend and lock firmly, then collapse cleanly — thousands of times over.

How to use Glyde shoehorn steps

How to Use

1
Extend Glyde by pulling the handle — it locks into position at full length.
2
Hook the curved end inside the heel of your shoe.
3
Slide your foot in — the curved blade guides your heel smoothly without damaging the shoe lining.
4
Retract and pocket — press to collapse and drop it in your bag or pocket. Ready for next time.

trusted by people who refuse to bend down.

Glyde was built for everyone tired of plastic shoehorns that snap, bend, and live uselessly by the door rather than in your pocket.

Life-changing for bad backs

Finally my shoes last longer

Stopped crushing the heel counter on my dress shoes — they were wearing out really quickly. Since using Glyde every day my shoes are in much better shape. Simple thing, big difference.

Great gift for parents

Bought this for my father who has knee problems. He absolutely loves it — says it makes such a difference in the morning. The retractable design means he can keep it in his dressing gown pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Glyde extend to?
Glyde extends to approximately 49cm (19 inches) — long enough to use comfortably while standing upright. When retracted it measures around 17cm, easily fitting in a jacket pocket or handbag.
Will it work with tight shoes like dress shoes or boots?
Yes. The curved stainless steel blade is specifically shaped to guide your heel smoothly into even close-fitting shoes without damaging the heel lining. It works with trainers, loafers, Chelsea boots, dress shoes and more.
Is the retractable mechanism durable?
Glyde’s mechanism is designed for thousands of extend-and-retract cycles. The steel construction means there’s no plastic to crack or weaken over time. With normal daily use, it should last for many years.
Is it suitable for elderly people or those with mobility issues?
Absolutely — that’s one of Glyde’s most popular uses. The long extended length means there’s no need to bend, crouch or twist. Many customers buy it specifically for parents or grandparents with back or knee problems.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are typically delivered within 7–12 business days to most European countries. You’ll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships.

  45. R***n

    Excellent

  46. Elsa B.

    Genuinely useful. I keep one in my bag and one by the door now. The extended length is perfect — no bending at all.

  47. S***n

    Arrived well to Paris, France. Quality is good, I think it will last a long time as these plastic gadgets all end up in the bin. This one is telescopic metal so it doesn\’t take up space unnecessarily. I warmly recommend this seller. A customer from France

  48. a***r

    Sturdier than expected, folds up really compact! The best!!!

  49. Customer

    For the price, it\’s okay. Extends well but the spoon is a bit small and somewhat unstable. Unfortunately it looks like it might break after a few uses.

  50. 2***r

    Love the product, looks just like the photos and good quality, I recommend the seller 💯👍

  51. Customer

    In my opinion… it\’s a normal shoehorn… 👍

  52. Customer

    Just like the pictures. Thanks!

  53. a***r

    Package arrived in good condition, specifications are as offered by the seller.

  54. Customer

    The steel plate is thin so it bends slightly. But because of that, it fits into the shoe heel well. I carry it in my bag and use it regularly. The first adjustment section slides in and out a bit too easily, which is slightly annoying. Overall satisfied. Recommend.

  55. M***s

    The telescopic shoehorn matches the description, good quality, convenient. I\’m happy with the order. Delivery to Kryvyi Rih via Mist took 10 days. Thank you to the seller!

  56. F***z

    Very useful. I bought it because another one I had like this broke at the telescopic part. Let\’s see how long this one lasts.

  57. Rory P.

    Does exactly what it says. Good build, stainless steel feels solid. Only minor complaint is the clip could be a bit firmer but honestly not a big deal for the price.

  58. m***o

    Normal quality.

  59. w***d

    Good and useful

  60. Marcus L.

    Been using this for my loafers for about 3 weeks now. Fits in my jacket pocket which is the main thing I wanted. No more leaving it by the door.
