Makeshift Shoe Horn

I smiled when I read your hint(which is a good one;by the way) When I was a child I lived with an aunt for some time. She insisted I don`t break down the "counters" of my shoes(the back at the heel) so insisted I use what she called a "heel spoon"(shoe horn) You brought back a few pleasant memories of my dear Aunt.

When I was a kid (I'm 60) all we used was a spoon as a shoe horn..no $$$
