socks ?

Bones, joints and muscles

i have a device to put on socks that can go maybe a 1/3 of the way up my legs.

I do not wear socks like that.  I wear socks that can be barely seen when I am wearing sneakers.

I would rather not go without socks for obvious reasons.

Any ideas/advice ?

Thanks to everyone on here !!

How that device look like and for what purpose you have to wear it. Is it because of foot drop (inability to life the foot) ?

hi rich, 

I have one of those sock aids where you put the sock on this plastic thing, put in your foot and pull the whole thing up - sock in place ...

I am a sock person too --- 

good luck

Too hot in Devon for socks, leave them off

Renee1952 below described the device I have.    The socks I am referring to are just regular socks, not compression or anything like that.

I have bending precautions which prevent me from putting my own socks on.

Thanks for responding.

I have the same device, I guess,  I am just going to use taller socks.

Thanks for your response.

Its very hot here where I live, but I really need to wear socks for p/t & rehab.

My sock device can put those short socks on very easily too.  Have you tried them?  I didn't know if it would work but it did.

Also.......I loved not wearing socks for quite a while but as I got walking for longer distances, I needed my runners on.  It would start to hurt my feet if I just walked in slip-ons or sandals.  Plus wearing runners with socks made me start feeling like a normal person again!  It is more difficult.....I tie my shoes loosely when they aren't on me and then use the long shoe horn to put them on.  It seems to work ok.

I just tried with my device on a short sock, with not much success.  

Can you send me a message with link or picture, name of the device, so maybe I can get that device ?

Thanks for your help !!

Like this ?

Mine is something like that.

I managed to master the use of it with longer socks.

Thanks for posting the picture.

Have a great day !!

I wear the same kind of sock when I wear my running shoes.  I've managed to use my grabber.  I use the grabber part to get it over my toes and then there's a little piece that sticks out like a hook but straight that I hook onto the heel of the socks and pull them on.  It works pretty well.  If you want me to upload a pic of what I mean let me know.

Thanks for your input.

I am pretty sure that one of my grabbers is like the one you have, so that should furthur assist me with my socks.

Have a great day !!!
