A shoehorn or shoe horn (sometimes called a shoespooner, shoe spoon, shoe schlipp, or shoe tongue) is a tool with a short handle that flares into a longer spoon-like head meant to be held against the inside back of a snug-fitting shoe so that a person can slide their heel easily along the shoe's basin to its inner sole. Shoehorns have the same basic shape but the length or strength of the handle varies.
