Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Very sturdy. Sturdy and lightweight too. I think if they had a locking pin on the other side too it would keep it more sturdy.

I believe these are heavier than my regular aluminum crutches. They squeak a little, but it's not that noticeable. In having partial paralysis, i utilize these with an rgo brace in order to ambulate, and these are the bestcrutches period!

They condense small enough to fit in the back seat with ease. To keep them nicely folded together, this simply makes sense.

Cons

Nothing worse than losing the foot on crutch. Because there are elastic bands inside the pipes of the crutches (for folding) it’s nearly impossible to screw on the handles because the metal bar gets stuck on the elastic bands.

Sizing is off - strike two. With these at full length adjustment - making them wobbly and dangerous. They are 3 too short for proper crutch adjustment.

The reach could never be adjusted optimally. My recommendation is to only adjust using the bottom part.

The rubber ends make odd squeaking noises. The ones you get from the hospital are lighter, sturdier, and far less filthy. They are just not mechanically sound.

The arm pads are weak and whoever said theyre good pads is wrong

The nerves in the palm of my hands became inflamed

Price

What a great value these crutches are

If i were to purchase crutches again in the future hopefully never again no need i would choose something better even if i have to pay more

If youre on a tight budget these get the job done

However the price isnt worth it because the underarm pads hurt so badly that youll have to spend an additional 20 for good pads

Shipping

My husband likes that he can fold them and they’re light weight we needed a quick delivery due to an injury and they arrived wi... Read More

Competitiveness

I haven’t used them yet but i’m replacing an old pair of a different brand
