Homecraft Terry Cloth Sock Aid, Flexible, Two Pull Tabs, 23cm

This item arrived promptly and was as described in the listing. Due to my mobility and dexterity issues I struggle to put on socks and tights unaided. This device allows me to put on my socks and tights without having to ask for assistance. It's a little fiddly to start with, but once you have got the technique down its easy enough to do. Due to my health issues I tire very easily, I have to start getting ready hours before I'm due to go out, as I have to rest and do it in stages. Tights and socks would have been a no no if I was alone, but this sock aid is a big help. You can get a double one thats made for putting on tights, but you can still use this single one for tights too, just need to use a slightly different approach. I would recommend this to anyone struggling and I would most definitely buy again.

Delivered on time decent packaging, excellent quality and in perfect condition. This little aid is simply brilliant and so easy to use, works with all kinds of of different materials of socks. Would highly recommend this product especially if you have back trouble and the seller

I bought this for my 87 year old father when he had a hip replacement after falling off his bike (I kid you not, 87 and still going for bike rides)! He was no longer able to bend to put on his socks after the operation. I looked on line and found various contraptions meant to help. I chose this one as it looked simple and was one of the cheaper ones. Dad has had great success with it. He finds it very easy to use. The towelling holds the socks in place on the aid just enough to enable you to pull the sock up the leg but not so much that you are unable to extract the aid. I'm not sure how long it will last as I suspect the towelling will probably wear through and I do think it is quite expensive for what it is but, having said that, I would not hesitate to buy a replacement as it has enabled my father to dress independently. I recommend this product.

Excellent, providing you don't have very wide or mis-shapen feet. Unlike my first purchase of a Sock Aid, this one is suitable for use by persons of limited dexterity. This terry towelling and shiny fabric covered aid is pre--formed into a U shape, unlike others which are flat and have to be bent into shape. A sock is eased into place over the end and the foot slid into position. Unlike the flat sock aid, this one cannot have the sock put on the wrong side, The bare foot glides over the silken blue cloth surface, whilst the white terry towelling prevents the sock from slipping off. Here it scores over rigid plastic sock aids where it is all too easy to nudge the sock off the aid with your foot as you try to slide it in. As mentioned, if you have very wide feet, or very limited foot mobility, you may find that you are unable to use this as your foot won't fit into the opening. There are two sturdy webbing straps attached to pull the aid off the foot and pull the sock on to it at the same time. It also arrives nicely presented in a box, If you have very wide feet, the standard 'flat' aid that you bend yourself may be a better choice, but if you find bending an aid difficult, this is ideal.

Useful to have if you are recovering from a shoulder injury makes putting socks on easier.

Invaluable when my back really hurt, but a too much of a faff when only hurting a bit. Unfortunately the terry cloth that 'grips' the sock has loops of thread that break/pull and so it soon becomes very tatty.

I bought one of these a few months before my hip replacement, as I could no longer bend back/hip/knees enough to pull socks on. I was surprised how effectively it gripped my socks, and in my view its flexibility in being 'rolled up' to fit inside any size of sock places this model well ahead of the one provided by the occupational health dept....it was absolutely solid, and might be fine for women stretching thin 'tights/'socks' over the wide opening, but there was no way merino wool socks would stretch that far. After 4-5 months of use, some of the 'terry cloth' side has come off, so it won't last forever, but I bought a second one in case I have any further back issues, or my other hip needs replaced!

This is my second one. I bought one after a hip replacement operation almost 10 years ago. It made it possible for me to put socks on without having to ask my wife for help. That model had a minor issue with the sewing and attachment of the tapes which was easily rectified with a needle and cotton and has been changed on this latest model. The old ones were also useful when arthritis and an old back injury flared up so got use after the hip was sorted out. It also went out on loan at one stage as a friend had hurt his back and needed help to put socks on for a while. He ended up buying his own just in case it happened again. This is a replacement as the original just wore out over the years but with a large garden and a love of walking it still got a lot of use, but the arthritis still persists. Basically a good purchase for anyone that has mobility issues but wants the independence of not having to ask someone else to help with putting on their own socks at a sensible price. I fully recommend this.

Régime à faire

if you have a bad back, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, or all of these things, you must buy this sock fitter. There is nothing so simple or easy to put your socks on. I don't even have to sit down to put my socks on. it has been life-changing to not have to bend over to put socks on. seriously the energy this device has saved my body is nothing short of amazing, let alone what it has done for my feet' health and the comfort of being able to wear socks again. I have had back issues forever and recently just had a full hip replacement. As I said a life changer. BUY TWO :)

Ich benutze die Anziehhilfe schon seit 11 Jahren. Klappt super toll! Kaufe sie immer wieder.

It works perfectly. Individuals unable to bend down can place the item in their socks and then use the straps to pull the sock on. I find it invaluable.
