Because my job demands professional attire, I have found it difficult switching between dress shoes and sneakers while commuting or when I go to the gym. After purchasing Fort Belvedere’s shoe horn, I have been able to switch shows comfortably and conveniently due to the shoehorn being travel sized. Now I can slip into my dress shoes without worrying about damaging the leather on the back of my oxfords. Thanks Fort Belvedere! I will be purchasing the other sized shoehorn in the near future!

Why You Need a Shoehorn

When you have gone to the effort of investing in high-quality, well-made shoes, the last thing that you want to do is damage your investment every time that you put them on. But the fact of the matter is, whenever you put on shoes without the aid of a shoe horn, that is exactly what you are doing.

A close fit in the heel is the sign of a well-fitted shoe, so you need a shoehorn to help guide and slip your heel easily into that perfect fit. Without a shoe horn, the action of jamming your foot down the throat of the shoe will slowly but surely crush the heel counter, comprising the fit, distorting the leather, and adversely affecting the overall longevity of the shoe.

Made from high-quality, ethically-sourced genuine Indian horn, this shoe horn allows you to comfortably put on your shoes without doing any damage to the shoe themselves, ensuring a more comfortable fit and a longer life for your shoes.

The Best Shoe Horns are Made from ... Horn!

As the name implies, shoe horns were traditionally, and function best when, made from genuine animal horn. Consisting of multiple layers of dense fibers, animal horn is naturally strong when it’s carved into the required shape for a shoehorn.

In our own testing at Fort Belvedere, we’ve found that water buffalo horn is not only the most durable choice, but also the most beautiful with every individual shoehorn being a fully unique piece and reflecting the beauty found in nature.

We source all of our horn from India. Our providers ethically and sustainably harvest horn in a way that does not adversely impact the larger environment or the population of water buffaloes.

It is especially handy when packed with your carry-on, so that you can use it to safely put your shoes back on after passing through airport security.

You can also carry it in your car, so that you always have a shoe horn available when shoe shopping or for any unexpected moments when you need to remove and then put back on your shoes.

  • The Ideal Material for Shoe Horns

    There is a reason that shoe horns are called “shoe horns,” and it is the fact that, historically, shoe horns were always made from horn! The natural proteins and keratin that make up horn are both remarkably pliable and extremely durable, so they can bend to help your foot slip into your shoes without damaging the structural leather in the heel counter.

  • High-Quality Horn

    Fort Belvedere uses the best quality horn, harvested from India. Horn of this quality is lightweight but also durable, able to resist regular use without cracking or splintering and without compromising on strength or functionality.

  • Handmade Shoehorns

    These shoe horns are carved by hand from a single water buffalo horn, a delicate and time consuming process rarely undertaken by most manufacturers. Sourcing each shoe horn from individual horns, however, ensures a truly one-of-a-kind and beautiful item because no two horns are exactly alike, so each has its own unique grain and coloration.

  • Environmentally Conscious

    Unlike cheap plastic shoe horns, shoe horns made from genuine horn are designed to last and serve as beautiful but functional heirlooms for years to come. Fort Belvedere is dedicated to environmentally sustainable and ethical practices, and these shoe horns are no exception: made from 100% organic materials, they keep our landfills free from plastics and other synthetics.
