Literally never "torn my fingers up" while putting on shoes, and I'm the kind that ties them once when I buy them and never again. Either your friends wear iron shoes or this is a really extreme exaggeration.

    If you tie your shoes using the "runners knot", which most sporty shoes are designed for and eliminates heel slip, you will have a hard time getting them on without a shoe horn or having to re-lace them every time.

    You won't find a house in Scandinavia without a shoe horn, it's fascinating how rare they are in the US and most of Europe
