Vive Sock Aid - Easy On and Off Stocking Slider - Donner Pulling Assist Device - Sock Helper Aide Tool - Puller for Elderly, Senior, Pregnant, Diabetics - Pull Up Assistance Help

This works great!!!! Sturdy and worth the money. Would recommend to anyone with mobility issues and arthritis. My husband has problems with getting his socks on and this has been a huge help.

Good product, easy to use, makes putting on socks comfortable .

A must have for anyone who has trouble bending down or over to put on their socks. If you put the sock on straight on the device, you'll also have no additional adjustments with the seam on the toes. It works with ankle socks as well. So inventive...

This product is easy to use if you have big socks. I don't mean long, I mean wide of toe. You will stretch your socks to the maximum to fit around the device. This is more difficult the smaller your socks are. Once I found a good brand of socks, this device works super well!

Super easy to use. Discovered this while in rehab.

I broke my leg in three places recently, and am in a boot for 8 weeks, non weight bearing. Putting on socks became a challenge, ie. someone else had to do it for me. On the advice of my OT, and in a desperate search for independence, I bought this device. Here is my verdict: 1) Threading the sock onto the device is easy enough. 2) Sliding your foot into the sock is also easy. 3) Trying to remove the device from the sock once it is on your foot is problematic. The slip resistant cuff is exactly that - I had to tug really forcefully to try to remove it, and that caused a lot of additional pain in my leg. The sock stuck to the device as if it had been glued on. 4) The plastic shell is very uncomfortable when it rests on my surgery incisions. I have already ordered and road tested a different sock donner, which has a fabric lining and no slip resistant cuff. It works perfectly, slides comfortably, and was a lot cheaper into the bargain. If you’re interested, it’s the CAidRE Sock Aid, priced at $9.99. And it is covered by the Free Returns policy if you’re not happy with it. I tried to do a return on this item, only to find that it is non-returnable, for health and safety reasons. I fail to see why the manufacturer would not accept returns on an item designed for people recovering from surgery, when the device itself actually causes more discomfort than the bending and stretching required to put your socks on without such a device. I’m very disappointed, and will not be buying anything else from this manufacturer.

I used this for a couple of years until the slip resistant cuff started to crumble and fall apart. I also needed it to be a little wider so my little toes wouldn't get caught.

I’ve been wearing compression socks since Dec.,2017 and bought my first Vive Sock Aid ithen. It has lasted till now - Mar. 2020. I have severe arthritis and needed help to get the compression socks on. It worked like a charm and has been very helpful to me, especially since my wife still works and I am home alone With no help to put on my compression socks till I bought the Vive. About a year later, I wanted to have one on each floor of our two story home. I noticed Amazon was offering the RMS Deluxe Sock Aid for a cheaper price. The two items looked the same in the photos, so why not save a few bucks and buy the RMS brand? Big mistake! Upon receipt of the RMS model I immediately noticed a significant difference that I had it noticed online - the "slip resistant foam pad" was much smaller and a different shape than its counterpart on the Vive device. This slip resistant foam pad is what holds your sock (compression or regular) on the outside of the very smooth hard plastic channel as you slip your foot in and pull the sock down over your heel, then your ankle and up your calf till the pressure Is enough to cause the sock to slip off the hard plastic channel. Tip: If you wear knee high socks with a strong compression factor (20-30 mmHg), it does require some hand strength to pull it onto the plastic channel. The Vive has a longer, broader foam patch that holds the sock longer than the RMS and other brands. Thus it pulls it easily over the heel and sometimes even most of the way up your leg. Other brands often let the sock slip off before clearing the heel, with a max hold somewhere around the ankle - which means you have to grip the sock with your fingers and pull it up. Not easy. Buy the Buve brand.
