Why we ask the Parent Test
For us, the question is personal.
1978
It started with a son and his father.
Steve Warhaftig founded Skil-Care after his father died from a pressure sore. He set out to make the products he wished his dad had.
2002
Skil-Care Introduces The Heel-Float
Heel-Float — Skil-Care’s first heel protector, designed to float the heel and help reduce pressure while providing comfortable support.
2024
SuperSoft HeelCheck Boot Is Born
HeelCheck — Open-heel design suspends the heel in the air, eliminating heel pressure while promoting healing.
Today
Still family. Still asking the same question.
Every product we make still has to pass one test: would we choose it for our own mom or dad?
