A sock and shoe donning device to facilitate a user inserting his foot in a sock and a shoe simultaneously. A C-shaped structure preferably is about as tall as the distance between the bottom of the heel of a typical sock and the top edge of the sock. It is comprised of an approximately rectangular shaped sheet of thin semirigid flexible material molded into a shape with approximately vertical sides and a C-shaped horizontal cross section. A lower portion comprises: two lower support parts preferably separated from each other by about 6 inches which when compressed toward each other to fit inside the shoe react by applying force against the inside of the shoe to hold the structure firmly in place and two tongue parts separated from each other by about 51/2 inches which when compressed toward each other to fit inside the shoe react by forcing the tongue (and laces if any) of the shoe forward out the way while the user inserts his foot in the shoe. An upper portion extending upward has a C shaped top edge providing a frame on which said sock is draped with the top edge and sock and heel on the outside of the C-shaped structure and the sock toe on the inside of the C-shaped structure. The sock and shoe are donned by inserting the foot into the sock and sliding the foot downward and forward into the shoe until it is in place inside the shoe.
