Attached is a vimeo link to help those aging supsters get into their tight surf boots. I had a hip replacement a year ago and I used this during rehab to get my socks on. I have been having difficultly for years putting my boots on a destroyed a couple of pairs. I wondered if this aid would help putting on my boots and it works for me with both my Solite reef boots and regular cuffed 3 mm boots. I think my boots will last longer as I am no longer having to pull hard on the heel tab.

Nice!

I use a long shoehorn (1m / 3') for my boots, but it does not work well for wetsuit boots.
Your solution is smarter because it also manages to keep the front part of the boot away from the skin.

Hi Surf Kite

I got off amazon. Inexpensive. Look for "Sock assist for seniors"

cheers
