For large or very stretchy socks only - not for small women's socks
I ordered this because from time to time my back injury flares up and I'm unable to bend far enough to put socks on.  I live alone, so there's no one to help when it gets bad, so I wanted something like this.<br /><br />Well, I'm not really sure who they have in mind with these -- maybe people with giant feet only?  The product images made it look so easy and it appeared to be a regular size.  I thought that maybe it would be a little difficult but that I'd be able to get them on.  I was wrong.  My socks are not big or stretchy enough.  I tried several pairs of socks -- the stretchiest ones will fit on the very bottom, but there's no way I could pull them all the way to the notch. If you can't get them to the notch, there's nothing to keep the sock from just sliding off the moment you try to put your foot in it.<br /><br />I've attached a picture of this device with a pair of my stretchiest socks.  I have average sized women's feet and wear the standard size for women's novelty socks.  This device is huge next to my socks.  I could not get a picture of me trying to pull the sock over the opening because as soon as I let go with one hand it just slips off the opposite side since I can't get it up far enough.<br /><br />If you have very large feet or wear excessively stretchy socks, this might work for you.  None of my socks would fit on it though.
