A shoe horn is called a horn because they were traditionally made out of polished cow horn. Their purpose is to assist a person putting on a shoe by guiding the heel into the shoe.
The shoe horn is a lever that helps a user put shoes on more easily. It supports the back of the shoe from getting crushed.
