Between the inability to bend low enough, and the severe back and knee pain that I have when I try, I'd reached the point that just trying to put my own socks on was almost impossible. I know this aid is used by those who wear compression stockings, but it allows me to put on my regular dress socks without having to bend so far down. Less bending means less pain! Thanks!

I , of course, use the product to put on my socks. It is light weight and easy to use. The side straps were a bit short for me but were easily extended. The best part is that the product works as advertised. A no frills product at an economical price. I would buy one again and DO recommend it for people who cannot bend over to put on their socks. Stay independent!

I wear 30-40 compression stocking and I use this to help get them on. I can't put it on up to the heel because then it is too tight for my foot but it enables me to get the stockings up to about my calf area and then I can finish pulling them up. If you wear less compression it would work well.

No,it will not work on compression hose. You need to use either a hard plastic sock aide or a Jobst sock donner.

I wear a 13E shoe and it works fine with my compression hose. I got one with my knee replacement and I got two more as I won't be able to bend my back for about 6-8 weeks.

I've had patients using these sock aides for several decades I would have sworn they would not work with pressure hose but watched one strong man make it work!

While sitting I hold it between my legs with the slots up and squeeze it a little. Roll you stocking onto it with the heel centered over the center tung. No need to get the entire sock on it. Up to the heel is enough. Hold the straps and swing it in front of your foot and pull it onto your toes. Continue pulling and if necessary wiggle your toes a little to help it slide onto your foot. Pull it on the rest of the way. If you loaded it with the heal centered it is on perfect. If it needs to be rotated you might use a grabber to help out. You might search You Tube Videos for "Sock Aid". I couldn't find this one, but other similar ones are shown. Might copy and paste this address to view a video. Copy all three lines below.

It's really easy to use - even the first time. Here's a link to a youtube video:

I put the sock puller between knees and pull sock over about half of the puller. lay the puller with the sock on the floor, place my foot on the puller and pull it toward my heel and then up. Works every time.
One note. Do not squeeze the puller too tight if over a year old. They go brittle and crack with age. Am on my third one in 10 years. Love it.
