- the garment When the garment is intended to grip the limb of a user, for example to exert a compression or a restraint on this member or simply to stay in place on this member without the need for special tightening, it can be difficult to put on because of the important friction between the limb and the garment.
- the garment may have narrower areas for exerting greater pressure on a specific portion of the user's limb. In this case, the user has to cross these narrower areas of the part of the member having a larger circumference than the parts intended to receive the narrower areas of the garment. This is the case for example for a compression orthosis of the leg which comprises a narrower zone intended to grip the ankle of a user. In this In this case, the narrower zone must be able to cross the metatarsals, the instep and the heel of the user before reaching the ankle. Therefore, the donning of the garment is made difficult and may require a pulling force on the garment too important for the user.
- assistance devices for donning are known. Such a device is placed around the end of the limb of the user before donning the garment and is made of a material promoting the sliding of the garment around the assistance device, which reduces the necessary traction forces to don the garment. Once the garment has been donned, the assist device is removed.

- the device comprises a gripping element, said element extending from the first longitudinal end of the sole portion in the longitudinal direction outside the sole portion.
- the user can pull the assist device by grasping this gripping member to remove it.
- the gripping member is on the side of the end of the user's limb that can simply pull on this element to remove the device through the open end of the garment.
- the gripping member is on the opposite side to the end of the user's limb, hence on the open end of the garment.
- the user can also pull on the gripper once the end of the limb has been removed from the second cavity, to slide the assist device along the limb of the user and remove it by the open end of the garment.
- the gripping member is formed by a strap comprising at least one end secured to the first longitudinal end of the sole portion and a free portion extending outside the sole portion;
- Both ends of the strap are integral with the first longitudinal end so that the free portion forms a loop extending outside the sole portion;
- the sole part comprises a first face and a second face opposite to each other, the first pocket portion extending over the first face of the sole portion and the second portion extending from the pocket portion; on the second side of the sole part;
