The built-up handle is made of a latex-free, rubber-like material and features flexible ribbing that adapts to any grip. This handle is so unique, it carries a U.S. patent. People who have limited mobility and difficulty bending over will appreciate the extra-long design. Available in 18in and 24in (46 and 61cm) lengths. The textured surface prevents the foot from sticking to the shoehorn, helping it slide easily into the shoe. Handle diameter is 1-1/2in (3.8cm).
