Hip precautions, a sore back or a client who simply cannot reach their feet any more all land on the same daily problem: shoes. This Famica shoe helper from Peak is a long handled shoe horn that lets the person do it themselves, standing or sitting.
The shaped horn slips behind the heel and holds the shoe open while the foot goes in, then works the same way in reverse to lever a shoe off. The extended aluminium handle means no bending to the floor and no twisting at the hip.
It is light, it stands upright when not in use, and it is a simple enough aid that most clients pick it up without much teaching.
