A multi-use footwear tool that has an attachment mechanism with two complementary pieces that can be separated to split the multi-use footwear tool into two sections. A first section of the multi-use footwear tool is an elongated shoehorn and a second section of the multi-use footwear tool is an elongated body. The elongated shoehorn has a shoehorn and the elongated body has a hook. The elongated shoehorn and the elongated body can be attached into one long multi-use footwear tool or separated into individual pieces using the attachment mechanism.

Devices and methods for assisting individuals when attempting to don or remove a sock, shoe, or other garment from their lower extremities. Such a device includes a base having a longitudinal central section, two flanges along oppositely-disposed longitudinal sides of the central section, and oppositely-disposed distal and proximal ends. The central section and the flanges define a trough that is open at the distal and proximal ends and along a longitudinal side of the base opposite the central section. A handle is coupled to and extends from the base. The handle is rigid and comprises arms attached to the base and a crossmember that connects the arms.

An apparatus which includes a trough for receiving a user's shoe. The trough includes a removal portal. The apparatus includes a vacuum capable of causing a shoe cover to be removed from the shoe of a user when a user places a shoe covered by a shoe cover into the trough. An actuator is triggered by the placement of an object in the trough, the triggering of the actuator causing the vacuum to activate. The vacuum activation causes the shoe cover to be sucked through the removal portal and into a primary chamber. The primary chamber collects the removed shoe covers and is disposed in a remote from the trough for preventing debris and other contaminants from being stored in a clean room. The apparatus may also include multiple troughs connected to one or more primary chambers.

A shoe horn and sock removing tool is disclosed. In embodiments, the shoe horn and sock removing tool comprises a handle portion and a shoe horn and sock removing portion. The shoe horn and sock removing portion comprises a main body and a head. The head comprises a first end including a gripping portion and a second end including a curved heel-engaging portion. The head is pivotally connected to the main body and is configured to be pivoted between a locked shoe horn position wherein the gripping portion extends past an end of the main body, and a locked sock removing position wherein the curved heel-engaging portion extends past the end of the main body.

A system for compression garment removal includes a frame with a first ring-shaped portion having a forward portion, a rearward portion, and an opening therein to permit an individual's foot and lower leg to be placed through the opening, the rearward portion including a hook for engaging a compression garment; a handle coupled to the rearward portion of the first ring-shaped portion; and an elongated pushing rod adapted at one end to engage the forward portion of the first ring-shaped portion.

A method for donning/removing a compression stocking includes: providing a compression stocking, the compression stocking includes: a tubular compression stocking covers at least an ankle and has lateral sides, and a pair of tubular tunnels, each tunnel has a length, a diameter, and a longitudinal axis, the length is greater than the diameter, one tunnel of the pair affixed to each lateral side, the longitudinal axis of each tunnel is generally horizontal and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the other tunnel; providing a device for donning/removing a compression stocking comprises: a pair of vertical braces, and a pair of horizontally projecting prongs disposed between the pair of braces; inserting the prongs into the tunnels; inserting the foot into the stocking; and donning or removing the stocking by moving the braces as required.

An auxiliary sock device includes a baseplate having first and second ends. Wherein the first end has one or more wings mounted at the side of the baseplate, curved outwardly, to retain the open end of a sock to receive the user's foot. The second end comprises of a handle to provide a grip for the user. The user may place a sock over the wings of the device, grip the handle, and use the device to aid in the application of the sock upon the user's foot. In an embodiment, the baseplate is adjustably attached to an extensible handset which contains the handle. In a preferred embodiment, the handle further comprises of a shoehorn and a protrusion to aid in the removal of a sock from the user's foot.
