Soxon Sock Slider & Stocking Aid
We all have times where we could do with a little help with everyday tasks. Getting dressed each day trying to put on your socks can be one of these challenges. So if you are finding yourself, or a loved one in a daily battle to get dressed, or have given up entirely on wearing socks, a Soxon sock aid could be the solution to ending this everyday frustration.
Easy to use, the Soxon sock slider opens up the sock making it easy to slide your foot in. Then, the sock can be pulled up your leg using the long tapes. The Sock assist then comes away, leaving the sock in place. Simple and frustration free aid for putting on socks
Perfect if you are struggling to reach, bend and stretch when getting dressed or undressed. Ideal for anyone recovering from hip or knee surgery, are pregnant, suffering from back pain or have limited movement.
If other dressing aids have just not worked then we know you will just love our bestselling hosiery assist aid- the Soxon!
What else do you need to know about the sock puller?
- Gentle against thin or fragile skin – luxurious soft hypoallergenic material on the outside, a terry towelling inner, which absorbs excess moisture our feet can sometimes have.
- Hand loops make it ideal for one or two handed dressing.
- Extra long reins, easy to use from a seated or lying down position. Thus reducing the need to bend at the hip or knee.
- The pre-shaped sock putter onner supports the shape of the foot so it’s easy to glide your foot into, even swollen feet.
- Suitable for all types of everyday casual socks, pop socks and panty hose but not compression or TED support stockings – you will need our NHS compression stocking aid.
- Unsure how to use this gadget to put socks on, don’t worry we have a step by step instructional video to help you in our ‘video’ tab section.

How can I get my socks/stockings off?
No
w you’ve put your hosiery on hassle free, why not pair the Soxon with our long handled shoe horn or Classic Pro Reacher to remove them at the end of the day.
With the long shoe horn, simply push your sock down over the heel and off your foot. Or alternatively, use the handy dressing post on the grabber tool to hook your hose off.
Penelope’s surprise gift
We would like to share a lovely story with you.. Penelope rang in as she did not order at she did not order a Sock aid, she did not know what it was for or who from – when she was given the name of Elizabeth who brought it for her, she told us this lovely story:
“Celebrating 60 years of marriage is an amazing milestone. So what does your bridesmaid buy you? At the tender age of 70, Elizabeth brought a truly inspiring gift to help her friend – a Soxon stocking aid – with a twist.
Living in harmony is the corner stone in any partnership – it can be those little every day habits that can make all the difference. With 60 years of marriage, there is little that you have not seen and shared together. At the same time, there is probably little that you need.
Content to enjoy the simple, comfortable and homely pleasures. But if your husband cannot get his socks on! Elizabeth’s thoughtful gift enabled frustration free dressing for Penelope’s husband, so he doesn’t need to keep asking her to help him each morning. ”
We hope this made you smile as much as it did us.

Due to leg pains it was very painful to bend down to put my socks on. The Soxon device is so easy to use and takes away the need to bend down so my problems with leg pains are considerably less. It would also be very useful for someone with waistline or backpain problems.

J Jones – Amazon Customer –
I like the ease of being able to slide my foot into one side of a pair of nylon tights. The long tapes are so useful in pulling the Soxon back away from my foot & leaving the tights in position. Thank you for the secure packaging & prompt delivery.
Julia Larman –

Dr D G Salter OBE –
I am in less pain & discomfort when using the Soxon
Cassandra – Amazon Customer –
Had one of these for years. 1st purchased at onset of arthritic knee. Been with me through 2 operations for new knees and continues to be useful due to additional weight problems! It is comfortable to actually use, being fabric rather than plastic. The straps are brilliant as well. Now have a friend who is also going in for knee operation. He now has all the accessories that I found useful during recuperation. EXCEPT my Soxon! I purchased another one for my friend!!
Mrs S Turner – Amazon Customer –
This product makes putting on socks etc very quick, easy & not a chore! Definitely very pleased with this purchase!
Amazon Customer –
Brilliant product, ideal to getting socks on despite hip problems and unable to bend my knee. Now I don’t have to ask somebody else to put my socks on for me!
Armchairgardener – Amazon Customer –
This is an ingenious gadget for putting a sock on without it being necessary to touch your foot. It does however take a lot of upper body strength to pull on even a size 9 foot’s sock. Its important to align the sock’s heal correctly on the gadget before tugging it over your foot.
Rogan Josh – Amazon Customer –
This device is really useful, I have been struggling to put on my socks because of my sciatica, now the problem is solved, easy to use. I was a bit worried about snapping the straps off at first but it seems really robust. (I was a bit surprised when I first opened it to find there was only one…D’uh… I need something to aid my brain now!!!)

Mrs M Watts –
Now that I can put my socks on with great ease my feet are warm again and I no longer need to struggle
P. C. Cartledge – Amazon Customer –
I bought one in 2009 after a hip operation. It is wearing out now so I shall replace it. It can be difficult to use if your feet are damp, so some talc on your skin would help it slide over the skin. Have used it with all sorts of socks with little trouble. If you seriously lack strength in your hands or arms it may be more difficult.
Stuart B- Amazon Customer –
I have tried several aids for putting socks on and this is by far the best. Provided you position the sock carefully on the aid the sock can be pulled on and then needs little or no adjustment. My only concern is that you have to pull quite hard on the straps so I wonder how durable it will be however it works so well I will live with replacement cost if necessary
News voyager – Amazon Customer –
Couldn’t manage without it – immediate service, arrived properly (not over) packaged.
Elaine S – Amazon Customer –
This has made such a difference to my morning routine. Easy to use and so comfortable, I have very bony feet and the normal plastic ones are painful to use, this is wonderfull. Would recommend to anyone that struggles with socks and wants to be able to do this themselves.

So much easier for my wife to put socks on so no more struggling. It could possibly have longer handles to pull up as I have a bad back.
Lynn Coles – Trust Pilot –
Great little gadget. The towelling material helps to keep the sock in place until you’ve got it on your foot ( unlike some of the plastic versions). The fabric is also very soft against the skin. I guess the Soxon could be washed if needed.

George Clark –
This is a quality product that is a big help! I have been doing a bit of shopping online with a company called WISH they are based in China. Comparing products from WISH with the quality of the Small Stocking Aid from The Helping Hand Company makes its Quality stand out even more!
David Collins –
After my hip operation I have used the Soxon twice a day, every day, for the last 12 years and after nearly 9,000 uses it’s still going strong!
Thank you for making such a fantastic product
Charles Taylor –
Prior to my first hip replacement in 2016 I’d the usual home visit from the Ninewells Hospital Physiotherapist who assesses me for disability requirements post operation. She issued me with a standard issue device to help with pulling on of socks. In her presence I told her it was awkward and ineffective as opposed to the Helping Hand Company’s Soxon device. The lady agreed and I have to add that when I went for my 2nd and left hip replacement operation 10/2017 I found that your Soxon device was now standard issue in the Hip replacement wards 16 &17 of the Hospital. I even got issues with one in addition to the one I already had. I now have three such devices, on in the car with a spare dressing stick, one in daily use and one for the wash. I have to say that now, although a daily fair weather electric cyclist as part of my exercise regime I still rely on daily use of your products to assist me with my casual disabilities acquired as normal from hip replacement operations. I am indebted to you on a daily basis.
Alex Wadkin –
The best on the market, the SOXON is simple and efficient and long lasting. A wonderful aid for putting your socks on and at a reasonable price. Just replaced 10 year old SOXON with same product as whilst still doing it`s job was looking a bit worn.

Clifford Boles –
Fantastic product which has made such a difference to helping me out so much.
Jane Jarrard –
Very easy and comfortable to use, fast efficient delivery thank you.
L Jackson – Amazon Customer –
I have never used a sock aid before so did not know what to expect. This one is brilliant. Unlike with the other ones on the market you can get the sock on the aid without over-stretching it. The material used prevents the sock from slipping off and thus you can get your toes right where they belong. It also means that your socks are pulled up to the ankle, which is not the case with another plastic sock aid I purchased and don’t use. And it’s washable!
Mr. K. Vanstone – Amazon Customer –
I bought this for hubby who has arthritis & finding harder & harder bending to put his socks on so increasingly I was having to do it for him. When I bought this for him it gave him back his independence. He says it is really easy to use & I think the best value for money… Excellent product.
