A classic shoehorn, along with cedar shoe trees, is a must-have in every man's closet. I've been meaning to get a nice shoehorn for some time. It's one of those closet accessories you neglect to buy because chances are, you own a cheap, plastic shoehorn you got it for free when you bought dress shoes. I received a Silver Tiger Shoehorn as a Christmas gift and couldn't be happier. 



The shoehorn is from Pasotti, a renowned Italian umbrella brand that's been around since 1956! 



I looked at their umbrellas, and oh boy! They're quite something! 




This Blue Umbrella with a Gold Lion Handle is one of Pasotti's bestselling umbrellas, and it is a piece of art, for sure.

Anyway, I received a shoehorn as a gift, which was the best Christmas gift! 



The shoehorn came in a gift box and a velvet bag, making the unboxing experience extra special. 



I made a mental note to gift the Pastotti umbrellas or shoehorns to my friends next year because I loved my gift so much. I personally think it makes the best gift to those who have everything. 



Pasotti's shoehorns are handmade in Italy. 



The Silver Tiger Shoehorn features a silver-plated resin handle. 



It looks like a jaguar or a panther from different angles, but there's no mistaking that it's a ferocious and majestic feline! 



The shoehorn measures 50cm in length. 



It is a great size and does exactly as it is intended to do. 



Since we are talking about shoehorns and closet essentials, I wanted to introduce these cedar shoe trees. I got mine from Nordstrom, but you can get any shoe trees. I suggest getting ones made with cedar wood, though, as it naturally repels moisture and odor. 



These cedar shoe trees feature expandable toes that help maintain proper shoe shapes. 



My shoe trees are in size medium, and I wear size 10.5. 

Nordstrom has a complete chart for sizing for your reference. The shoe trees are available in 4 sizes - medium, large, x-large, and xx-large. 



They are awesome and great for keeping the shapes without overstretching the shoes.
