Why we know this works!

We love the foot funnel because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we see crushed heel backs and half-on shoes whenever bending down is hard or one hand is doing all the work. How do you put shoes on with one hand? Place the funnel in the shoe, hold the strings, drop the shoe to the floor, slide your foot in, and pull the strings to bring the shoe up over your heel. The whole sequence works one handed, the funnel is light in weight, and it adjusts from about 9.6 to 31 inches so you never have to reach your feet. This is especially valuable for stroke survivors with one working hand and for people who cannot bend after hip surgery. Your shoes should already slip on without tying, so pair it with Elastic Shoelace Bands; if you have two free hands and just want heel help, the 24" Long Handled Shoe Horn is simpler.
