Shoes Onto Feet: Which Goes Where First?

[Die_Capacitrix]

If I’m at home, I put my shoes on the floor and step into them, most often using a shoe horn, and I’ll probably put my right shoe on first.If I am at the doctor’s office, or I am changing into safety shoes, I’ll be seated, and I’ll probably put my left shoe on first.

My left hip is much more flexible, so it is quite easy for me to pull my left foot up higher than the right. After showering I always dry my left foot first. Putting socks on is also a bit random.

Do you use a shoehorn regularly (second attempt at poll)?

When putting on my walking shoes this morning, I started wondering about shoehorn usage. I don’t use one in warm weather, because I always wear sandals. But in cool weather, with socks and lace-up shoes, I use one every day. Are shoehorns old-fashioned? Or a timeless, eternally useful device? (I messed up my first try because I used old directions.) poll
