Product Reviews of Deluxe Sock Aid
Product Review: Bad stitching and thread.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an excellent product and works great. It has one fatal flaw you need to know about. The stitching will fail on you. Either the straps will tear off or the hem stitching holding the plastic inside of the cloth sleeve will tear out. The manufacturer needs to specify a stronger thread and/or more passes of the machine.
As a consumer you can avoid this happening with a two prong approach. First get very stretchy socks or oversized socks. Pulling tight mostly cotton socks will guarantee failure. Also not a bad idea to buy two at once.
Product says right on it that it cannot be returned for sanitary/health reasons.
Product Review: Best sock aid on the market.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this sock aid for my husband. He has had both hips replaced and it is hard for him to bend over and reach his feet. He has tried other sock aids and this one is by far the best. It's easy to use and it really holds on to the socks well.Product Review: Comes Unraveled
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this item to replace what appeared to be an identical one that my 91 year old father had been using for about four years. Within a week, the terry portion began to unravel causing him no end of trouble. Now, I have to hit the medical supply stores to find one that will hold up for the few more years he has left. I don't buy many things from Amazon that are not quality. This was an exception.Product Review: Did not find this useful
Summary: 2 Stars
This device has a terry cloth covering which makes it nearly impossible to easily slip into the opening of socks. It is also shorter in length than other models, which means long socks simply cannot be pulled onto the leg at all. I found it very difficult to use, and not at all helpful.Product Review: Does the Job
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this aide for my 51 year old brother recovering from a hip replacement. Putting on his shoes and socks were the final obstacles preventing him from independence following his surgery. Loafers solved the shoe problem and this gadget solved the sock issue. My brother couldn't wait to call me and let me know he had put on his own socks. He said the pictorial instructions were very easy to follow. My brother is 6'7" tall and found the straps for pulling to be plenty long enough. He wears a size 13 shoe. His XL socks work just fine with this handy tool. The price seems very reasonable for the independence this product provides.
