For hip replacement patients, arthritis sufferers, and pregnant women, that simple motion creates real pain. Compression sock users face an even harder challenge — getting tight medical socks past the heel. A sock aid solves both problems with a simple shell that holds the sock open. You slide your foot in, then pull straps to bring the sock up your leg.
