Clip-on shoehorn

Abstract

When a person tries to put on a shoe, such as a tennis shoe or dress shoe, the back rim and quarter of the shoe often collapses inwards when the person does not use a shoehorn. The clip-on shoehorn can be installed on the back rim of the shoe to provide support and prevent the shoe back rim from collapsing in. It can be installed on a shoe all the time or can be removed and installed on another shoe. Clip-on shoehorns can be made in different sizes.
