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.

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.

I ordered this crutch for when my (broken and never quite recovered) knee is too sore but I happened to have some minor foot surgery only days after I received it and I found myself trying it out right away, even if my knee was fine.
The crutch is surprisingly light and easy to use and adjust. Every detail of it is carefully made.
I have used it for stairs, walks or just around the house and I couldn't recommend it enough!
