This revolutionary stocking aid encompasses many features intended to overcome the shortcomings of older models. Molded into the blade are two hinges, which allow the side wings to fold. This folding feature combines the benefits of a flat stocking aid (easy to store) and a hard gutter shape (easy to use). When both side wings are folded in on themselves it is extremely easy to slide the stocking aid into the stocking. Then the side wings are folded open to form an open tunnel. When the stocking is held open like this it is easy to slide the stocking over your foot. Last, but not least, the tip acts as a long shoehorn to reduce bending when putting your shoes on.

This deluxe rigid sock aid helps put on socks, stockings and compression stockings without bending. It is made of formed polystyrene plastic that holds its shape and has soft foam grip handles with braided cords which may be cut and retied to adjust the length - makes it easy to use!
