Will this aid will pull a crew sock ALL the way up, or just over the heel? Any way to help remove a sock from the foot with this aid?

My husband said to put your sock on the sock aid all the way to top point foot into sock pulling slowly. Most of the time sock comes all the way up. If it dosn't he uses another aid to pick up things or reach for items, he will use that to finish pulling up sock. He will also use that aid to that socks off with. Hope this helps.

Just brings it up over the heel t6o a point where I could pull it up the rest of the way. After 1 month the foam grip came off and even over the heel was hard. No, this aid will not assist removing the sock from the foot.

This item says it will help with many clothing items, and it also says it will help to remove socks: Ableware 738810001 Dressing Stick

I think it has a lot to do with the size of your foot. My friend has a small foot and ankle. She says just slides the sock on and sticks he foot in and pulls the rope and her sock is on. "really slick". As for taking the sock off, no this doesn't do that. Your best bet for aid with that would be to insert a long shoe horn in the top of the sock and push it off that way. Or perhaps the long handled grabbers.

When I used it following back surgery, it pulled sock up quite well. Maybe had to adjust slightly, but got it close enough that I could reach it. Can not think of anyway it would work removing a sock.

Yes, my husband says it helps pull his socks all the way up. Not able to use to remove sock though.

I always need to pull the sock a remaining portion of the way, maybe you'll prove to be more clever than I am. No, no help with removal

You can if it's an open shoe. If the heel is enclosed in any way, as in a boot of some sort, it will be most difficult if not impossible. But with any type of shoe you still have to use a screwdriver or something that can turn the middle section once it's hand tight. Hand tight is not enough to stretch the area. That's why it must be an open type shoe in order to make this maneuver.

No, I don't think this device will work for you. I don't wear compression socks but a friend of mine does, and he needs assistance daily to put them on. I bought this because I have trouble (at 67 years of age) of touching my toes and have had difficulty every day putting on my wool socks - this certainly makes the chore much easier.

Naturally curlly is correct. I am a 13 wide body and it works every time. If the elastic of your sock is very stiff you may find that stretching it after putting your foot in before pulling the sock up with the white straps will help.

I don't understand the question. It's the easiest "contraption" to put on. You slide the sock over the end of the sock aid and slip your foot into the sock.

I have good use of the left hand, not so good with the right. I grip the sock aid at the tips with my good hand, collapsing them flatly against one another. With my bad hand I begin to slip the sock over the tips, sometimes using my teeth. Once the sock covers the tips I am able to slip my foot in, pull it through and work it down. It works OK. So far I have found nothing better!

I have worn them for a short time without a sock and they "grab" my heel pretty well. If it was a tight fitting sock it might work. Maybe use an Ace bandage to hold them in place as they do need to be in place to work.

One size fits all. This squeezes (rolls up) so it fits into the sock top since it is very flexible and the three fingers make it contour to your foot much better then the solid piece ones. We have tried 3 different brands and this one is our favorite. Least amount of sock stretching and easiest glide over the heel because of the fabric covering. There is definitely a technique to using it smoothly buy after a few tries my husband had it working quickly and easily.

Place the sock on the tube the heal goes toward the black rubber piece insert your toes into the tube take the ropes and pull the sock unto your foot works really great

Depend on shoe size - it will work fine with sock - under or over - though over might pull the sick too tight. Would have to adjust accordingly.

it covers the foot, heel included, and goes up well beyond the ankle bones. Just like a really tight sock without the toe.

I don't think it would as compression stockings are quite long. I find it works best for short socks as you have to bunch up a longer sock and then after you remove the sock aid you have to pull up the sock manually.

Well... Studiohut (the seller) should probably know better than me, but mine definitely comes off. I just took it off to see. There's an adjustment knob on the bottom that screws into the cold shoe from the bottom via 1/4-20 thread. Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean, or perhaps it's been re-engineered since I bought mine.

It worked for me with women's shoes. Not a guarantee it works for everyone. If you can't return it's worth a try. But I would keep the stretcher in the shoe a day or two and to the max setting.

You can use this on either foot. I am only using it on my foot that has the crooked toes, and it does support them. I only regret that I did not order at least two, to alternate when cleaning.

My foot is narrow. The sock is pretty tight. Not to tight that it cuts. It really helped too. Hope this helps.

Yes, I use thigh high ones. It is important to pull the sock over frame until you get to the heel. The heel material is noticeable so you can see it and stop after it is pulled to top. I found if I put my foot into the sock at that time then I had enough toe room. The form cannot be pulled all the way up the leg but having help on the lower part of leg made all the difference in getting socks on.
