They are big! 
2005-11-05
These have to be the sturdiest forearm crutches I have ever seen. They have very strong nuts and bolts. To me, being 5'1, they seem quite tall. They also seem heavy. I wish they were a lighter weight. the hand grips, while being quite big enough for someone with arthritis seem big for someone with small hands. I think this crutch was made for a quite larger person than myself.

I've tried several alternatives following a recent leg injury. A cane is too unstable to support much weight and full crutches are simply too cumbersome. These forearm crutches are the perfect solution. Indeed, a single one, used much like a cane, provides all the support I need. It provides more balance and stability than a cane, yet takes enough weight off my leg to eliminate pain while walking.
These crutches are well built. The frames are thick and highly polished. In fact, they truly look and feel far more like stainless steel than aluminum. On each crutch, the length from floor to hand grip is fully adjustable using a series of holes with spring loaded locking pins. The length above the grip to the forearm brace/cuff is adjustable in the same manner. Rotating locking nuts above and below the adjustable sections eliminate any noise during use, and provides an even more solid feel overall. There is no play in the hand grip, the forearm brace/cuff is well padded, and the rubber foot offers reliable traction.
I would prefer more padding on the handgrip, perhaps a softer rubber instead of hard vinyl. The handgrips are not really uncomfortable. Instead, it would be more accurate to say the handgrips are not as comfortable as they could be. However, there is little doubt these vinyl grips will last much longer than soft rubber ones.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

These crutches help me immensely in walking, especially with the balance part. They not only help keep me upright, but greatly help with the joint pains associated with walking and standing.
Not impressed

I have had these for about six months, and they are falling apart. Where the arm cuff attaches the bolt holes have become so elongated they let the cuff flop around like a limp rag. The rubber tips wore out after only a few weeks, I replaced them with Tornado tips. The new tips are the only thing that is really good about my crutches. I don't walk a lot. I can only imagine what condition they would be in if I did walk a lot!
Great product 2007-06-22
I used these after major knee surgery and was on cruthes for 2 months. These are very well built and exceeded my expectations. These are far superior to standard crutches.
Great deal for the money 2007-04-29
I had polio when I was young and have used crutches for more than 40 years. I've used these for about a year and had no problems. I used to use Guardian but bought their Prestige series a couple years ago and they were awful--and cost more then double the cost of these crutches. (On the Guardians, the cuffs broke after only a few months.)
good quality 2007-03-08
These are well made and sturdy. Equal or better than the ones at the Med Supply store for twice the price. Thanks.
Good Deal 2006-01-17
I just received my crutches yesterday. I was skeptical of the quality of them at such a low price. I'm very happy with them. They are comprable to the pair I'm using now, which I paid much more for. Mine get a lot of use (and abuse). I can't walk without them due to a chronic progressive disease, so I need good quality. My current ones have been through a lot, and these make perfect replacements.
