El Deslizamiento del Calcetín

I know, sounds crazy that I need some special tool to get my socks on, but I do need the help. Why? I have to wear long, knee-high compression socks that are tough to get over my toes even before I can work them up my foot and leg. Guess what? If you can't get the socks over your toes, you can't wear socks. Why do I need this tool? I have too much belly, a really bad lower back, and a partially torn lateral collateral ligament in one knee (that makes it hard to bend the knee enough to pull the socks on). So its a hassle to use this tool because stretching the socks onto the jig is a minor pain. But it's just a minor pain, because the jig does enable me to get the tight socks onto my feet and thence I can work them up my legs. Without this jig there are times that I literally can not get the socks over my toes and hence not on my legs. So this works despite my physical problems.

I have stiffness in my lower back which makes putting socks on difficult. This sock slide makes it easy to put on your socks without too much difficulty. Also works well if you wear knee braces which slide on your leg and are pulled up over your knee. I think a long handled shoe horn works better than using the shoe slider handle for putting on your shoes. Overall it works.

Sock Slider is so beneficial I don’t know why I didn’t try this sooner! I have struggled for years getting my socks on . This tool makes putting on my socks, a joy.. No more struggling.
I highly recommend using this for people that struggle to put their socks on. It’s worth it.

Works well for me, I am very inflexible and needed to be more independent. Works for putting socks on although it likes the wider sock better.

I highly recommend it

the best. A+

so useful

great, thanks sokai

highly recommended

better than one on tv

love it

This device has helped me be able to put on socks. It is sad that you get to an age that when you reach a certain age, you lose the ability to put on socks. This device has allowed me to be able to use the simple action of putting on socks again. I would recommend this device to anyone who is unable to put on their socks.

I have had many sock tools over the years and this is the best. This is the second one in ~ 10 years. The very dry hot Las Vegas weather causes any plastic to degrade and the the old one cracked but other brands never even lasted over a few years. It was still very useable but I decided to replace it to make sure I always had a functional one on hand.

no issues at all

As a retired engineer, I look at things a little differently then others. Functionality is important and after a physical problem developed, I was faced with challenges that I never thought of before. Putting on socks were tough, but now to put on compression hose became an act of war. Working with physical therapists on the “better way” of such a a simple task of putting on sox from thin plastic sleeves that have pull up ropes to the old bread bag thing. Looking at this unit, I thought I would give it a shot! It arrived and I cannot believe how great this extremely heavy duty this thing is. Well built yes, but the function of this is so great! I would like to shake the hand of the designer of this because they really made my life a lot easier. Thank you!!!!!!!

Easy to snap together out of the box. I used it for compression socks. Made it easy to get on, Compression socks are hard to remove, but regular socks would be a breeze. Highly recommend this product for anyone having problems bending over to put socks on. Fun to use!

Once you get the hang of it, super easy. Especially good for those with back, hip or knee mobility issues.

The sock slider can be very useful for someone who can no longer bend down to put on their socks.
It provides assistance with sliding on your socks.
There is a tiny bit of assembly required but it is quick.
I also found that it took a bit of practicing to get this right. The instructions are detailed and show pictures to help. Which I thought was a great idea.
I did have a longer sock that didn't work so well and I had a small fear of my socks getting stretched out.
However. It didn't seem to stretch them out and my shorter sock worked much better.
I do see how this will be very beneficial in aiding people with getting dressed.

My leg isn't as flexible as before but this makes putting on socks a hell of a lot easier it's great for short socks not for long full length socks.

This device really works. I found it easy to use from the included instructions, though I did see a video test of this device which helped as well. I find it works well with all socks though with knee length socks it is harder to load and it does not pull the socks up all the way. The instruction show how to use the handle to pull up knee length socks, but it does not work very well. All in all it works better then I expected. Now, if only there were a device to remove the socks as easily.

Like very much. Could not put on compression socks without this sock slide.

Sturdy easy to use no fall hazard

I have spinal stenosis which makes putting my socks on all but impossible. Thanks to the sock slider my troubles are over.

Used to put on socks. Unit should have a stronger base so one doesn't have to be a contortionist to use it. I use my cane to hold the base on the floor.

It is easy to use but the sock slides on the smooth plastic before the foot gets all the way to the toe of the sock. The handle works well to both pull up the sock or push it down. If the outside of the sock holder had some rough ridges on the outside they would help prevent the slippage. The hook used to lower the sock slider to the floor keeps slipping out of its hole. Despite these limitations the sock slider worked pretty well after my hip replacement.

This flimsy-looking, inexpensive device is an amazing bargain, is impeccably designed and works like a charm! I'm totally amazed! It may look flimsy, but it's not at all. I'm amazed by the engineering and thought that went into this thing. WOW!

After 4 uses, the base for the sock would not stay together making it useless. I modified it by gluing the sock tube to the base after sanding the plastic in between. Now it stays together and it works. My suggestion to the manufacturer is: Put a clip on the base parts for durability and usefulness.
I am an Occupational therapist. I work with patients daily with limitations. My husband recently had back fusion surgery. We tried the old standard sock aids, but they didn't work. His foot was too big and not slippery enough for them. So I ordered this sock aid . It is wonderful! So easy to use. So efficient. I will never recommend any other again. If it stays together better.

I tried to put my mom's sock on the slider but it was so large the sock couldn't stretch around it. I had to have my brother put hose clamps around it and then heat it with a heat gun. We took off the hose clamps and the shape was smaller. It works great now. I wish they came in different sizes. My mom can't reach to pull up her socks so this is the perfect tool for her.

Once you get the sock threaded on the tube it works fine but the trouble is that it is very difficult to get the sock on it. It is so hard that I gave up trying and they will not give me a refund.

I had injured myself and before I could get myself together enough to put on my socks, this contraption helped me tremendously.

My husband has minor mobility issues. One of them is he's not able to put his socks on and there isn't always a member of our household available to help him. The Sock Slider has solved that problem!

It’s a big contraption and takes up a lot of space if you need to travel with it. But it works good. I like it
