Swollen feet (oedema) can come from a lot of things - diabetes, poor circulation, arthritis, prolonged standing or sitting, medication side effects, or simply changes that come with age. It's worth seeing your GP if swelling comes on suddenly, affects only one foot, or comes with pain, redness, or shortness of breath, as these can sometimes need prompt attention.

Yes, a sock aid takes the bending and reaching out of it. Our Sock Aid with Built-in Shoe Horn helps you get a sock on from a seated position, and the shoe horn then helps your foot slide into the shoe. It's useful with stiff hips or back, limited reach, or while recovering from surgery.

A foot inspection mirror does the looking for you. The Telescopic Foot Inspection Mirror extends so you can see the soles and between the toes without bending or twisting. It's handy for daily checks, for yourself or for someone you care for. If you notice a cut, blister, redness or a sore you're unsure about, have your GP or podiatrist take a look.

Thick nails need a wider jaw opening and a strong, curved blade, so you can cut cleanly without squeezing or splitting the nail. Our Heavy-Duty Toenail Clipper has a 9mm wide jaw made for exactly this. If you have diabetes, poor circulation or reduced feeling in your feet, it's a good idea to ask your podiatrist about nail care first.

Yes, our adjustable straps use touch-fastening closures rather than laces or buckles, making them much easier to manage for anyone with reduced grip strength or dexterity.
