    The same way you would take other slip ons off.

    Yes but they claim that you can put them on without the use of your hands 
    I was just wondering whether you can take them off without your hands too, how?

    You would take them off the same way you take any other foot wear off. Without sounding rude but you seem to be asking the obvious.

    I'd imagine it would take either pushing them off with your opposite foot or planting your feet on the floor and sliding your feet out of them that way.

    I've seen people who can't bend too far using the longer style shoehorns to slip their shoes off, but that probably counts as using your hands! 

    Maybe there are some videos somewhere of people slipping them on and off?

    I considered a pair of these as leaning down to tie shoes triggers my vertigo.  However I've seen mixed reviews about how tight they are in use.  I need something firm and solid rather than something that feels loose and wobbly.

    For removing shoes I always just push each one off with the other foot so no need to bend down.  Though I appreciate not everyone will physically be able to do that.

    I certainly can't
    I need both feet firmly planted on the ground, otherwise I would fall over.

    It can be done while sitting down.  There must be some point now where you lift one foot up to remove a conventional shoe.

    No - I sit down and my wife takes my shoes off for me !

    Fair enough.  But you are still lifting one foot at a time to do that.

    If you would be able to lift one foot at a time to put these slip-ons on without your wife's assistance, then I don't see that there's any difference in lifting one foot at a time to remove them afterwards.  Both on & off can be done while sitting down.

    If you still can't do one with the other foot for whatever reason, then the long shoe horn idea recommended above would probably work for removing them.
