I feel like I’ve tried everything available in all the stores, at the shoe stores, I’ve bought the “good” ones off Amazon, the DUBEFWEE style brands too.

They all break or deform within a year, I can’t take it

    Nearly?!? I mean sure a furnace or a steam roller or a nuclear blast might do it but….putting on shoes?

      Well, you do have a pretty big lever there. If your shoes are rather tight and you really gotta work your way in there, then you’re gonna exert quite a bit of force…

        I find it weird that nobody mentioned this. If you don’t have back problems and you’re tired of shoe horns breaking, in addition to reconsider your technique, get a short metal one.

        Dude. 1/2 size larger maybe?

        I kid but seriously. I once made the mistake of getting new shoes RIGHT before a convention where I was on my feet for 8-10 hours a day and no time to get different ones. They were too tight and that pressure caused me pain for years.
