Troubleshooting
Sock slips off the aid
Ensure the sock opening is stretched fully over the widest part of the mould and lies flat against the surface.
Difficulty pulling the sock up
Make sure the foot is fully inserted into the sock while it's on the aid. Ensure a firm grip on the loop cord and pull upwards steadily.
Sock bunches up inside
Check that the sock is centered on the mould and that the foot is positioned correctly before pulling. Smooth out any wrinkles on the sock before proceeding.
