The Dwarfs intentions with these were not to put his shoes on, but to use them as snow skis with a rear brake. When he began drilling holes in them and using carriage bolts to fasten the shoe forming parts of steel rollerskates on to them, I told him he was crazy. Well, he proved me wrong again. He had also manipulated a slight curve into them, similar to the rockers on a rocking chair and wen he leans forward, he zips down the ice and snow, and when he leans back, he quickly stops. The Dwarf is now constructing a pair of wings as he claims that he can achieve lift when reaching 47 mph with a 17 foot wingspan. He is planing on a midmorning flight. I'm sure the 2 hours he spent engineering was enough. He intends to launch himself off of a 20 foot cliff which overhangs the river, I've tried to convince him that a cliff is not necessary as lift will occur only when conditions allow. UPDATE- It is now 1pm after the midmorning flight attempt. Several onlookers attempted to convince the Dwarf not to go over the cliff, but he would not listen. After several delays due to repairs needed on the wings from the use of poor materials used in the construction, the Dwarf stoop atop a steep slope approximately 300 yards from from the point at which he planned on departing earth. The river at this spot is just shy of 60 feet wide. It is frozen from both edges about twenty feet toward the center, with a calm drifting current carrying chunks of ice and other debris along. Without fanfare, or anyone noticing, the Dwarf had left his perch and was hurrelling down the hill at break neck speed. As he passed within a foot of the group of a few dozen spectators, with his arms stretched high above his head, the tips of the each 8 foot wing touching, he looked terrified. Candace, a neighbor squeezed, "Stop". The Dwarf turned slightly to look at her and be came unstable. He quickly turned to face forward and began falling ever so slowly over the tips of his Skis as the edge of the cliff was nearing at what I can only guess was about 60 to 70 miles per hour. It all happened so fast. Just as he reached the edge, his body was horizontal and it looked as though he was trying to put his hands down but his arms were strapped to the undersides of the wings and they had locked into place as planned in the pre determined position, but it was too late, the Dwarf dropped right over the edge. It was a disaster. The crowd ran toward the edge of the cliff a 20 yards away. I don't know how everyone there missed it. We all reached the edge, some of us closer than others. We looked over and the Dwarf was nowhere to be seen. There were a few utterances. Some of disbelief as well as Candace bellowing a painful cry. There is no way he could have dropped into the center current and sank so fast. The swearing came fast a furious. The Dwarf had somehow made it all the way to the other side of the river into a stand of trees with thick underarms. His wings had collapsed behind him upon contact but he was about 15 feet in and his Skis were swinging precariously as he worked his legs back and forth trying to find his way out of bandage. With several more explosives and a lot of wiggling, he was free. It turns out, according to the Dwarf, when he went over the edge, he plummeted the first ten feet and his body swung down past the wings which had wind drag, and with the combined sliding and dropping speed, it was enough to give him flight to to other side of the bank. From up on the cliff overlooking the landing site, it was easy to see that the Dwarf had cleared the running water by no more than a few feet as you could see the touch and go tracks from his skis on the ice and through the snow on the shore. The Dwarf claims to have never touched down until wiggling free of his vessel. I'm not going to argue with him as he will then want to prove it by doing it again. The skis have been retired to shoe horns which work perfectly fine. Thank-you

I was surprised, expected plastic, this is made of steel. Should last a while. Can also be used as a defensive weapon.

Sturdy and easy to use long shoehorn. Perfect to step into slip-on shoes without bending over and easy to hang on an entry wall bracket for storage and ready access. We'll worth the cost over a cheap plastic version.
