David,
I'm impressed with your product's performance and I am finding more and more uses for this step in the UC Davis Health System. In the health system, we have a variety of applications. Our shuttle vans could use it for passenger loading, our warehouse workers could use it for stacking barrels of waste, our shorter nurses could use it to reach the ICU beds better (they don't adjust as low as other beds), our shorter patients could use it to come to stand easier, our IT/office workers could use it to reach cases of paper off the pallet, our Lift Team could use it to help patients out of their cars easier, our clinic patients could step onto the exam tables easier.....and the list goes on.
In the age if high tech, it's nice to know that it can be applied to the basic of needs: adding a little height. It keeps our workers from reaching overhead and promotes working in a zone where we are most powerful (between shoulder and hip height). I'm a physical therapist, and have been using stepstools for years, but this is the first I've found that is wide enough to let you stand with your feet apart. Wide stance is key to stability when working, and it adds more mobility (you can reach farther). I love that I can stand and squat on this step without feeling like I'm going to slip off! I am specifically interested in the yellow senior (6-inch) Shurestep (13.5 x 24"), the yellow 6-inch stepstool (12" x 12"), and the yellow Nobby Top Shurestep II (13.5' x 24").
Thank you very much,

The
step worked out fantastically, The ladies just stepped on it noticed
the color straight away and just stepped up on the bus with such
ease. I was the driver on the trip and the ease of putting it up and
down and how light weight it was the best money spent on my
transportation so far. I loved the 2 handles on the sides how nice
and compact it was it stored nicely and overall I just love it.

Dear Mr. DuPont,
I heard about Shure-Step from another company offering your product in the Dallas area. I searched and found your company under key word Shure-Step . The picture of the the tourists getting on the bus was very helpful. My wife has a torn meniscus on each knee. Both were repaired a yr apart, healing and recovery have been slow because of diabetes. Her knees still hurt and she is recovering slowly. She needs an extra step to get into the car. Six inches is perfect as provided by your product. 24 inches and the width of 13 inches provide exactly what she needs to get in and out of the car.

David,
I
have Lyme Disease and it has gotten in all my joints. It has made it
hard for me to get in our mini-van. I am in a wheelchair most of the
time, but can walk a couple of steps with a cane. There are times
where I have tried as hard as I can, and I have not been able to
raise my leg up high enough to get in our van. It has made me panicky
about going anywhere. I have missed events with my family because I
haven't been able to get into the van. Also, my doctor wants to see
me frequently, so it is a major problem if I can't get into our
van.
I also have lots of other health problems caused by the Lyme, so often don't feel well at all most of the time. When I do feel well enough to get out, but then can't get into the van, it is yet another loss. My ability to get into the van has decreased with time--especially since right before Christmas--to the point I didn't know what I would do if I were out somewhere and couldn't get back in.
My husband suggested looking for some sort of stool to get in with. I was afraid of getting on anything because I am so unsteady on my feet. I was afraid if I got on something, it might tip over. Your product looks safe to me--less lightly to tip over. It also looks like it will be easy to put it in the van with us to carry along when we go. My senior citizen mother also struggles to get into our van (although she has a better time getting in it than me) so I know she will appreciate us having it, too.
I am trying to remember exactly how I found your product when I did an on-line search. I did a Google search with the words "stool to get into car". I ended up at Amazon and read some reviews of stools they offer. Some of the reviews mentioned words senior or geriatric, so even though I am not a senior citizen (although Lyme makes me feel old), I put those in. So I think that is how I found you. Sorry to not remember exactly.
Blessings,
Becky

Sirs,
I do not usually write to company praising them for their product but in your case I find it necessary. When my wife recently under hip surgery, I needed to find a way for her to be able to climb up into my 1/2 ton Dodge Ram. After much searching I ran into a video talking about your Shure-Step product and was impressed enough to order one. The wife is recovery nicely from her surgery but finds the step into the truck more than she is able to do at this time.
That's where the Shure-Step comes into play. It cuts the step up in half for her so that she can easily navigate from the step to sidebar and into the truck. Tonight, when we got back from the grocery store I was running around, getting the wife unloaded, and already thinking about wanting to get things put away and call it a night as I pulled the truck into the garage. The next thing I knew the back passenger side of the truck had raised up several inches.
It did not take long to figure out what had happened. In my haste, I had forgot to put the Shure-Step away. Walking to the back of the truck I found the 'before' photo attached to this email. The 20" inch back tire was completely off the ground and only supported by the Shure-Step.
At that point, wasn't much more to do other than drive off the step. While I was impressed with the Shure-Step's ability to support the weight of the truck, I was even more impressed with it once I had move the truck off of it. As you can see in the 'after' photo, no damage could be seen. If you look closely to the after photo, you can see where the anti-skid bolts you added to the Shure-Step for me had dug into the concrete enough to leave dust behind.
You have a solid product here and it is well worth the asking price even if it is a little under rated with its load baring abilities.
If you post, no names please.( This is an email from a happy customer who doesn't want his name to be mention. But for credibility purposes, he had an initial J.O., and a businessman.)
