This is better than the one I was given at rehab after my hip replacement. It has a wider cradle more suitable for a mans foot. It also has a foam grip under the toe section whicn makes it easier to keep the socks on the aid and to get the sock on your foot. Well pleased with the purchase.

This sock aid is rigid, and can handle any size socks. It has two nice handles that make it very easy to pull and its large enough on the inside that I would feel anyone could use this and not have any problem. It holds the sock open very wide, (I was concerned because my feet have severe hammer toes and deformities and the softer type sock aid would never work due to it collapsing or not pulling the sock far wide enough to go over my foot)
Then you put your foot into the very end all the way to the toe, no challange at all, and then slowly pull and the sock aid pulls your sock up evenly and all the way up. Perfectly into position. I have Severe RA and cant put my socks on or touch my feet and until this product, I was very restricted in going outside due to this. But now, I can put the sock on the form, put the form on the floor, slide my foot to the end, and slowly pull the sock aid up. My sock is put on my foot perfectly and within seconds. The first time i used this was at Physical Therapy and the therapist gave me a book that had the different types of sock aids in in, but it didnt have this exact one. On oh My at the high price they were selling for. I couldnt afford one through her catalog, so i decided to try Amazon. I looked at several and this one was the exact same one she had, even the same color handle grips. I ordered it and hoped for the best and when it arrived, I tried it immediately! I cried when it worked so perfectly and now I am out and about and its all due to this incredibly simple little device. I am going to order an extra in case I travel, so I can keep it in my suit case. I think this sock aid is the best one i have seen and it is simple and very easy to use with no reason anyone couldnt use it perfectly every time. It has opened up a new life for me as it always works and I can always have socks on my feet because I can do this on my own!!!!!

I was issued a Sock Aid similar to this one when I had my hip replaced several years ago. It finally wore out after 8 years of use. I have used it just about every day during that time. The new Sock Aid has a little pad under the toe end that really helps when pulling the sock up over your foot. I also use support socks that would be impossible for me to put on with out my Sock Aid. I highly recommend this product.

I had spinal surgery and was not able to lean over and put on my socks. It is not convenient to have someone else put on your socks either! This sock aid works awesome. You slide your sock on the end, and then put your foot in and pull up on the handles. Easy and works everytime! I recommend for anyone who cannot bend over or even if it's difficult just to put your socks on. Excellent value for the money.

The product is great. I have tried many and this one lasts the longest - the all eventuallyl crack right down the center.

Works 'OK'. Depends on the thickness of the sock. I have a paralyzed leg and this requires you to really point your foot and it is still pretty hard to pull because your foot sticks to the PVC. I used it for a few weeks and then forced myself to reach and bend to put a sock on. After a while I got limber enough that I don't use this at all. I bought it because they recommended it at rehab.

Works real good unless you are just getting out of the shower and your skin is damp. Tried talcum powder and that helped but works best if your feet are dry. The knots eventually pulled through the foam grips so I would advise you to make the knots a little bigger.

This was just the ticket! Reasonably priced, easy to use. I hope YOU never need one of these, but if you do, this is a good choice -

I received one of these from my father in law because I have a bad hip and cannot reach to put on my left sock.

Once I made an upgrade to it and realized how to use it, it has proven to be invaluable. Heres what you need to

know, and what you need to do to make this gadget really work:

1. Attach a 2.5 inch wide strip of felt lengthwise along the bottom on the inside of the device with hot melt glue.

roll it over onto the outside about two inches. Tape the end of the felt down with duct tape.

The felt allows your heel to slide easily into your sock after you take a shower. without it, your heel pulls

traction on the plastic, and it is difficult to get the device to slide You can use powder to do this also but the

felt really works well, and is worth the effort.

2. Pull your sock all the way up onto the device. This really helps a lot too.

Good Luck and God Bless

Because this sock aid is so wide it is extremely difficult to put on a compression stocking. I talked to the supplier who promised to send a label so I could return it. This was over a month and as yet I have not received the label nor any other contact. It does not work!
