About this product
This sock aid lets you put socks on without bending down to your feet. You stretch the sock over the three-pronged plastic form, lower it in front of your foot, put your foot in and pull the cords until the sock is on. It is made for people who find bending forward, or bending at the hip, difficult.
The three-prong end, about 9.7 cm wide, holds the sock open, and notched edges grip the fabric so the sock stays on the form as you pull. The cords are about 75 cm long and end in soft foam handles that are easy to hold. Keep pulling until the sock is up and the form slides out. The moulded body also doubles as a shoehorn to help your heel into a shoe.
