Luxury Travel Shoe Horn Handmade Fort Belvedere

On those occasions when you need to put your shoes back on when you are away from home and your full-sized shoe horn, do not be tempted to do so without the aid of some kind of shoe horn, because you could do permanent damage to your shoes.  Instead, always have a shoe horn handy with the Travel Shoe Horn from Fort Belvedere.

With a compact length of approximately 4.5”, this shoe horn can go wherever you go and will easily fit into your pocket, car glove compartment, case, or bag. 

 With its rounded corners and smooth surface, this travel shoe horn will deftly slip into place and aid in putting on your shoes without damaging them, and its portable size makes it ideal for getting through airport security or when shopping for new shoes. 

1. Ideal Material. 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.

2. 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.  

3. Handmade. 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.

4. Portable. Whenever you need to put on your shoes, this Travel Shoe Horn will be there for you. Whether you are getting through security at a hectic airport or trying on new shoes at the store, this shoe horn is the handy accessory that makes putting on shoes a pleasure. 

5. 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.

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.  

Fort Belvedere is proud to offer a wide range of products that reflect the versatile and practical functionality of horn. Our Tidbit Tray is the perfect receptacle for any small personal effects that you need to keep on hand or store, such as keys or cards or collar stays, cufflinks, or studs.  Fort Belvedere also offers a range of shoe horns for every occasion, offered in three sizes. The larger models are intended for at-home use, with the longest shoe horn able to be employed when sitting down if desired. 

For travel, when minimizing bulk is essential, Fort Belvedere also offers a pocket-seized travel shoe horn that will easily fit into any pocket, bag, or luggage. 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.
