68. SHOE HORNS

The pain-free solution to putting on new boots

* When my old friend from college, Nick Hill, suggested this simple miracle to me (Thanks Nick!), I didn't even know what a shoe horn was!
* Apparently, its name suggests its application and origin: Years ago, animal horns were used to help people fit their feet into their shoes without ruining the shoes. Nowadays, materials like wood or metal have replaced actual horns.
* How many extra months or years could I have gotten out of some of my favorite shoes, if I had but had a shoe horn!
