Since ancient times, tin has been considered the second most expensive after gold and silver, and has been loved as a material for crafts. It has the characteristics of not easy to crack, rust, and hygienic. In addition, it is a very soft metal, and pure tin (purity 99.9% or more) can be bent by hand. Taking advantage of the individuality of such materials, we have made a shoehorn with good portability. Three characteristics of a tin shoehorn to wear Feature (1) Once-in-a-lifetime comfort Each person's foot shape and shoes change slightly every time you wear them. It is soft enough to wrap around the heel and has a firm thickness that smoothly guides the shoe. The softness of the material × the rigidity of the structure make it comfortable to use. The custom-made comfort is so good that it seems to become a habit. After use, it can be easily returned to its original shape by hand. In addition, it is hard to break and rust, so I think you can use it for a long time. Feature (2) Expression of manners and care for the new lifestyle In Japan, there are situations where you need to take off your shoes even when you are out and about. Many entrances have shoehorns, but in recent years, from the viewpoint of hygiene, the number of people who feel uneasy about things shared with an unspecified number of people is increasing. Tin is a material that is also used for tableware and is said to be hygienic, and carrying your own shoehorn made of tin is also a consideration for those around you. Of course, a shoehorn is also a shoe care item that will make your favorite leather shoes last longer. Therefore, the act of wearing shoes with a shoehorn "People who take care of things" "Neat person" It is also a gesture that gives a polite impression. Feature (3) Wear it naturally, so don't forget it "I bought a portable shoehorn, but I don't usually carry it with me." In order to avoid such a situation, we were worried about both portability and durability at the beginning of development. 【Portability】Lightness and function suitable for carrying 【Durability】A certain thickness for long-term use After repeated prototyping, we settled on the shape of a hemp leaf pattern with a gap. By this [Lightweight] about 42 grams (lighter than egg L size) 【Durability】Strong enough to be used repeatedly as a shoehorn In addition 【Design】It doesn't make too much of a statement, so it matches various outfits and situations. I was able to do both. Also, if you pass a carabiner through the large hole provided in the handle, It can be attached to a bag or belt lead as a key chain, and [portability] is also outstanding. You can wear it casually as part of your outfit, so you don't have to forget it when you need it. Usage/Usage Scenarios [How to use] (1) Bend the shoehorn lightly by hand according to the shape of the heel. (2) Put your toes in the shoes with the laces loosened, and apply the shoehorn vertically from the heel floating state. (4) Lower the heel vertically while sliding it with a shoehorn. (4) Remove the shoehorn that is sandwiched between your feet and shoes. [Usage scene] When wearing leather shoes or sneakers, you can use a shoehorn to wear shoes smoothly. It can also be used for pumps for women. [Carrying] The thickness is about 3 mm, which is inconspicuous even if you put it in the pocket of a suit. If you use a carabiner, you can attach it to a belt lead or bag. Even if it is deferred, it is designed like an interior. The gentle luster of tin matches various spaces regardless of Japanese or Western.
