not for compression socks
I bought this for compression socks.  The sock aid would be 5 stars for those using it for ordinary socks.  But, for compression hose, it is so rigid and wide that you need a tool to get it on the sock aid.  If you have weak or arthritic hands the effort it takes to pull a compression sock is just too much.  For compression socks I recommend a flexible aid such as the Maddak sold on Amazon.  These type aids allow you to squeeze in the front end to allow for an easier insertion into the sock.
