Sock Slider, Sock Aid - The Easy on, Easy off Sock Aid Kit & Shoe Horn , Pain Free No Bending, Stretching or Straining System that Packs up for Convenient Travel - Sock Helper

Bought for a friend (86) who is having difficulty now with putting on socks/tights. I was concerned when she said she was finding it so difficult she was leaving socks on for a few days, until her cleaner came at the weekend. Since I moved away I generally see her a few times a year, and hadn't realised how difficult she was finding such simple daily tasks. The best was that there are videos of similar items on Youtube so she was able to watch a couple with me until she understood exactly how it would work when it arrived. A good gift for elderly relatives or friends, gives back some dignity.

Wonderful, it has given me back my independence It arrived promptly and very well packed.It works well with knee highs / pop socks.javascript:void(0)

I came across a Youtube clip that showed this product in action and it looked exactly what I needed to get my socks on without the pain of grinding hip joints. When it arrived I found it worked as well as shown and I can now put my socks on pain free. A couple of pairs seemed too tight to work properly but I have discarded them and now only wear the ones that slip over the plastic easily. Overall I am very happy with it.

It’s okay and it works however not so easy on you have to fight with it a tad, getting the sock positioned and the unit balanced ain’t that easy

No clear instructions, had to go by picture instructions which were not clear as they were on the outside of the box which was battered. Anyone with pain in hands or deformities in hands would find putting this together very difficult. Very sturdy which is good but contributes to difficulty in erecting and dismantling.You need to be able to lift your foot and push it into the aid and working out how to put a sock on to it is another difficulty. I doubt this has been tested by any genuinely disabled person. No logo on actual aid as in the picture on box to indicate it is a genuine "sock slider" Best I can say about this product is , it is sturdy and if you can put it together and work out how to use it, it does the job.

Despite the claims from other reviewers as to being unhelpful! I have considerable problems reaching down to my feet and find this device extremely useful. Other reviewers have stated it being difficult to construct - there are only four pieces - how complicated can that be? It does work as claimed my only criticism is that the T-bar used to pull the foot piece is a tad short for my particular problem of not being able to bend my legs or my back. However, despite that drawback the device does still enable me to put on socks without too much trouble. I would thoroughly recommend this simple device to anyone with similar problems.

Very much dislike the handle which is supplied as two pieces which need to be joined prior to use. Unfortunately in use they easily come apart.

Love the product. I’ve got Arthritis of the spine and find it difficult putting on socks and shoes. The product is very easy to use, place sock on inside out at the top of the tube and slide it down. Put device down onto floor, you can use the long handle to hook on the tube to lower to the floor. Slide your foot into sock and hey presto sock on. Long lever assists you with socks including taking off socks and shoes. For the price you will not get better.
