Nov 30 2009Bending Over Is For Losers: The Shoedini
The Shoedini is a shoehorn on a pole. It's for people that don't like to/can't bend over to take their shoes off. I've got news for your folks: if you can't take your shoes on and off without a shoehorn on a stick, it's time for slippers. And probably a diet/will.
Thanks to Petey, who doesn't need a shoehorn because he has ninja-feet and can walk on hot coals without wincing.

It was the telescoping handle that sold me. I've been needing something for my prostate self-exams.
10. Joboo - November 30, 2009 4:18 PM
I'd actually like to have one of those.

this is a much more economical option than the asian slave labor I employ to do this for me.

These have been around forever. My dad had a shoehorn on a long handle. He was really tall and arthritis in his knees, he used it everyday. I kept it after he died and my wife used it when she was pregnant.

I love at the begining how there is an 60 yo man with a 30 yo woman!

This is actually pretty useful for some people who need it, like Silva said. Some back conditions can limit mobility, and this could solve that problem for putting on/taking off shoes. Of course, it doesn't solve the sock issue. :-(

@9 (my favorite #) ewwe
@12 good story
17. Dinosaur Rex - November 30, 2009 4:54 PM
Isn't easier to take them off with your feet?

My favorite thing about infomercials is how they make everyday tasks seem so difficult.
Loved the part where he was trying to take her shoe off.
19. LSDiesel - November 30, 2009 4:56 PM
@12, your wife used it FOR WHAT when she was pregnant? Doesn't your insurance cover the hospital costs?
Nevermind. I'm just being gross.

Hey, I think I just finished my christmas shopping! Not only does it help with shoeing, it would be handy for gouging out the eyes of one's enemies. Telescoping handle, indeed! Seriously, though, think of all the people who decide to change their shoes while standing next to the Grand Canyon, or a Norwegian fjord, or shelves full of expensive crystal and porcelain. This will spare them much death and/or embarassment.

I can understand why Bernie Madoff wouldn't want to bend over to put his shoes on in prison
22. Real - November 30, 2009 7:02 PM
Great for fat american!
23. Yeili - November 30, 2009 7:13 PM
The funny thing is, I used one of these (not the same one) in Japan last summer.
They're always ahead of us, even in being lazy.

So bending over is like kryptonite for old people? Man, I'm not looking forward to getting that old.
