Reach your hand into the sock.
Pinch the heel and pull the sock partially inside out. Leave the bottom part of the sock turned in, creating a pocket for your foot.
Slip your foot into the pocket you just created up to the heel.
Reach down and pull up the leg portion, rolling the sock right side out a section at a time. stretch and adjust the sock as needed as you go. The sock should stop just below your knee.
Slide the sock down or pull it up so the top of the sock sits just below the knee. smooth out any wrinkles. Enjoy!
