摘要： A laminated shoehorn which is characterized by an elongated, flexible shoehorn body having a substantially rough backing layer and a substantially smooth foot contact layer laminated to the backing layer. The shoehorn body is typically shaped with an elongated center portion having a circular grip at one end and a widened, arcuate heel guide at the other end of the center portion for supporting the user's heel. A hanging opening may be provided in the grip to facilitate hanging the shoehorn from a nail, hook or the like. The smooth foot contact layer facilitates slipping of the user's foot into a shoe, and the rough backing layer of the shoehorn body contacts the shoe and prevents the shoehorn from sliding into the shoe beneath the user's foot. In a preferred embodiment the backing layer is thin cheesecloth, polyester or foam rubber and the foot contact layer is vinyl. The shoehorn is durable and capable of substantially conforming to the configuration of the user's heel and prevents stretching or damage of the shoe.
