I waited for these a long time.NazliAbsolutely love the shoe horn. Due to the length.5
Extended shoe hornDavidWorks very well but also heavy and clumsy Would have been better to make it from aluminum4
Better than the plastic onesEmilioThis show horn is made out of metal, it should last forever. Way better than the plastic ones and they are longer as well.5
Long and sturdy BaharehVery practical, long, and sturdy shoe horn5
Perfect!JuliaPerfect length, perfect material, perfect price5
Great shoehorn! ShaneMetal is better than plastic, plus this shoehorn is longer. Some complain that this doesn’t come in “fancy” colours - it’s a shoehorn 🤣. 5
ImprovedSusanI have purchased the long plastic ones previously. The new metal shoe is longer and more sturdy.5
Strong AfsanehVery strong and nice5
Shoe horn.TracyWorks as intended. I also use these when sitting in a lounger and too lazy to get up to flip the fireplace switch, or to open/close a curtain behind furniture works fabulously! 5
Easy, Breezy ShoehornMaheshThe OMTÄNKSAM shoehorn is thoughtfully designed; sturdy, long-handled, and incredibly easy to use, making slipping on shoes a breeze. Perfect for anyone who appreciates comfort and practicality in everyday tools.5
OmtanksamElaineNice to see ones that are sturdier than the plastic ones albeit more expensive than the plastic ones but worth a try. Had a plastic one for many years and broke so nice to have options.5
Is durable HarrisonNone5
Sturdy and helpfulMartineWe had already 1 like this and it is very handy for a tall or older person. Now we have one at both doors.5
Much Stronger and LongerKennethworks best for this 79 year old, less bending easy to use5
Perfect SPurchased for my mother-in-law and she loves it! Great hight for use when standing and still very comfortable to use when sitting. The metal design means it’s sturdy and doesn’t bend easily. Great price, good quality, no complaints from me5
good product... for someIrispros: unbreakable, very long cons: stiff, heavy, very long it's a decent product but it's not for me. 3
Stiff knees, big helpMarijkeThis handy shoehorn saves shoes, heel just slides in softly. My hips and knees aren't great, but with this aid shoes are easy to get into. They make a great present, everyone loves them!5
Too heavyHeatherThe new shoehorn is too heavy and sadly now made in China. Also the colour is awfully depressing. The length is nice, but overall I prefer the Omsorg. Too bad you have stopped making it. 2
Where have you been all my life?RichThis long-handled shoe horn is a back saver and puts putting on boots and shoes a breeze. It's now a staple by the front door.5

Story

Because we all need a hand sometimes

We don't always like to admit it, but at some time in life we all could use a little more support around the home. It might be a more supportive chair when pregnant, a longer shoehorn after running a marathon, or just more everyday assistance due to the natural process of ageing. That’s where the OMTÄNKSAM range comes in. Designed with input from ergonomists, physiotherapists and researchers in the care industry, it makes activities around the home safer, easier and more comfortable. Little surprise that the Swedish word OMTÄNKSAM simply means "caring”.

Our creative leader Britt Monti was the main force that pushed the project forward. "If you look into IKEA catalogues from the 60's you'll see we used to speak about comfort and support for older people or people with back problems for example," Britt explains. "But since the 80's we just didn't have this customer in mind when developing a range." Britt spoke with researchers, physiotherapists and doctors as well as people working in the caretaking field. The research gave a better picture on how best to support the body in doing basic household activities.

Style and ergonomic design can work together

"We wanted the range to be something that you would be proud to have in your home from a style perspective, the only difference is that in function it's more user friendly and supportive." For Britt one of the standouts has been a new take on tableware. "I've been interviewing people living in elderly homes and one thing that stood out was that a lot of people stopped using their porcelain when they ate because they're afraid it would break, or that they might feel clumsy using it," Britt says. The OMTÄNKSAM range helps people keep their independence and do the things they've always been able to do, whether it's putting on shoes, enjoying a drink or getting out of their chair.

Material

What is steel?

Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
