One of the benefits of the revolutionary, ergonomic design of Sock-eez™, is that the hand always stays in a neutral position, which is palm facing inward. This action maximizes the full strength of the arm.
Instructions:
1. To use Sock-eez™, it is important to be in a seated position. To begin, place the lanyard on wrist and slide the far end tip of the Sock-eez™ under the top band of the sock, at the back of the leg. It is helpful at this stage to keep the heel on the floor for stability.
2. With the toes pointing upward, this allows the back of the leg and foot to become as straight as possible. This action will promote an easy slide down the back of the leg towards the heel. It is important to push slowly so the tip of the Sock-eez™ remains between the skin and the garment always. The “hook” gently forces and gathers the sock as you push downward toward the heel.
3. Once the far end tip of the Sock-eez™ reaches the heel, point the toes down. At this stage, you can either pull the foot out of the sock or continue to push the sock off with the Sock-eez™. It is very important to always keep your toes pointed down at this final stage to insure an easy removal of the sock.
4. Socks off with ease! For removal of sock on left leg, position the Sock-eez™ on the inside of the leg, and follow the previous steps 1 thru 3.
Testimonials"The Sock-eez™ works very well. Before I got the Sock-eez™ I put on my first pair of knee hi compression stockings. I was so worried about getting the stockings on. That was easy compared to trying to get them off. I ended up cutting the stockings off. Then I ordered the Sock-eez™. It was bigger than I expected & worked very well. I am elderly but I was able to slip the Sock-eez™ under the stocking while sitting in a chair. One push got the stocking to my ankle. Then I slipped it in again to get it off my foot. This is a great product."

"50 years ago the sock donner was invented in Sweden to put on compression hosiery; it took another 50 years for someone to invent a product to take them off. Congratulations, you did it, this is a wonderful product!"
