Intended Use
Independently zip up shoes
Description
When I’m sitting on a stable surface, I can lean forward to hook my thumb into the zipper loop of my Billy shoes so I can independently take them on/off. When the surface is less stable (e.g., the edge of my bed), I require assistance to zip them. If I had something that could hook on the zipper loop with an extended handle, I think I could still manage to do it myself. I tried to draw a picture of what I think might work, so I’ll see if I can attach that and a picture of the zipper loop on Billy shoes.
