ABSTRACT:
A wire frame 1 has an outer covering 2 which is provided with a pulling strap 3. The wire frame 1 has a U-shaped portion 6 leading to a pair of projecting free arms 7 which lead downwardly and forwardly of the portion 6. The outer ends of the arms 7 also splay out to the sides. The material 2 forms a channel member with side walls 8. The open end portion of a sock is draped at least partly about the side walls 8. The user then places his foot in the entry to the heel end 10 and pulls the aid and sock assembly onto his foot by means of the strap 3. The sock aid will flex readily to allow it to pass around the heel of the user to position the sock around the calf of the user and the sock aid can then be pulled free.
