The DAISO travel / foldable shoe horn - convenient to carry around with you if you remove your shoes often

One of the reasons why slip on shoes are popular here in Malaysia and actually the whole of Asia is that we remove our shoes quite often. When we are at home we usually go around barefoot. WHen we visit the houses of others we remove our shoes. When we enter a mosque or even some temples we usually remove our footwear. So this usually means having shoes that come off and on easily. A shoe horn would come in handy at times like these.  But you cannot go around carrying a large shoe horn everywhere you go and if you are travelling, a normal one would take up space. Something portable and small is what you need.

I found an affordable steel shoe horn at DAISO, the Japanese 100-Yen franchise store that is found all over Malaysia. Here they sell stuff at RM5.30 per packaged item. There are actually quite a nice place to frequent for some men's accessories, like the foldable shoe horn you see here. It is so affordable and actually small enough to carry everywhere. It comes with a keyring so that you can attach it to your set of keys (obviously). So with this, it should make putting on your shoes a little easier.

RM5.30 for something useful as this small travel/portable shoe horn is a very good thing. I have seen at the other end of the playing field; a Brioni travel shoe horn with alligator wrapped handle instead of this simple metal bit - RM1,600. 

RM5.30 works just the same and is actually a good gift item too.
