Bang for the buck

4out of 5

Pros: Supports Weight, Quiet on the floorground, Safe, Lightweight, Well Constructed

Cons: Arm braces small, Handles are hard

Best Uses: Indoors, Outdoors

Describe Yourself: Short Term User

The pink color was not as bright as I wanted, but the crutches are super light and don't sound like a peg leg hitting the floor. I used them daily for a week, sometimes putting full weight on the crutches, hobbling for almost a mile a day in New York City.

The handles are relatively hard and small, but were fine after putting foam around them. The arm bands just got around my skinny arms with a sweater and jacket on.

I used these for a ligament recovery. Definitely prefer them to regular crutches even if taking a bit to get used to them.
