What to look for
- Long-handled shoe horns, sponges and reachers take out the bending.
- If one hand is weaker, check the aid genuinely works one-handed before buying.
- Buttons and zips are the usual sticking point, and magnets aren't a compromise here.
Common questions
- How can someone get dressed without painful bending?
- Long-handled tools do the reaching: a dressing stick, a long-handled shoe horn, and a sock aid let someone put on socks, shoes, and clothing without bending to the floor. A reacher helps pull up pants while seated.
- What makes shoes easier to manage?
- Elastic no-tie laces turn any shoe into a slip-on, and a long-handled shoe horn removes the need to bend. For swollen feet, look for adjustable hook-and-loop straps.
