Dressing aids – socks, shoes and buttons

Dressing aids are practical tools that make handling socks, shoes and clothes easier. The VI HP range includes sock aids, shoehorns, shoe pullers and aids for buttons and zips. The products come in different shapes, grips and for different uses. Here you can compare the options and find an aid that is suitable for the garment, the shoes and the task to be performed.

Sock aids for different types of socks

Sock aids keep the sock open and help pull it over the foot. There are models for regular socks and special aids for compression socks, which can be more difficult to put on. The design varies between products, for example with handles, straps or a free-standing stand. Always check which types of socks the aid is suitable for.

Shoehorns and shoe pullers

A shoehorn helps lower the heel into the shoe without bending down the back of the shoe. Longer shoehorns provide greater reach, while shoe pullers are used to take off shoes by supporting the heel. Some aids combine both functions and can therefore be used for both putting on and taking off shoes.

Aids for buttons and zips

Button aids often have a loop that is passed through the buttonhole to catch the button and pull it into place. Zip aids usually have a hook or an extended grip that makes the zip pull easier to handle. Combined models can be used for both tasks.

Different grips and designs

Dressing aids may have long shafts, wider handles or compact designs depending on their function. Materials and dimensions vary between models. Read the product information to see how the aid is used and whether it needs to be assembled, placed on the floor or held in the hand.

Choose according to garment and function

When choosing a sock aid, the type and size of the sock are important. For shoehorns and shoe pullers, length and grip design may be important. Button and zip aids should be chosen according to the appearance of the fastening. Also compare materials, storage and care instructions.
