Flexible Sock Aide

We love this flexible sock aid because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we watch people bend right past their surgical precautions just to reach their own toes. Should you choose a flexible or a rigid sock aid? Choose flexible when the foot is swollen or wide: the three soft fingers bend to the contours of the heel and foot while holding the sock open, accommodating width in a way a rigid shell cannot. Load the sock, lower it with the 33 inch straps, slide your foot in, and pull. It is especially helpful after hip or knee replacement, back surgery, and for anyone whose feet swell or who cannot bend because of arthritis or shortness of breath. If your feet are a standard width with no swelling, the Rigid Sock Aid offers more structure and can be easier to load.
