I have been using these crutches for almost 10 years now and love them. My armpits are never sore like with standard crutches. My wrists haven't had any trouble, which i attribute to the ergonomic handles and shock absorbing legs.For reference, I am a large woman in my 50s and a life-long partial paraplegic.I hang things off the handles on my "good" side all the time (sometimes way too many bags of groceries just to avoid needing the second trip).The hook top style let's me hang then on the wall, lean against the wall without them sliding away, and I can usually hang them under from a table top so as to not trip people in a restaurant (this requires some creativity to figure out. I'll try to remember to come back and add a photo.Maintenance -I usually glue in the rubber stoppers at the top. I use these as a grabber while on the go, and occasionally the stopper will catch on something while I am misusing them in this way and get lost.I "rotate the tires" every month or two if a squeak starts to appear, just doing a 180 on the same post or swapping the posts between the left and right side. In my imagination i think this helps get more life out of them, but eventually a more permanent squeak will develop after about a year, which I think is awesome since I use them everyday all day.I will also spin the rubber tips at the bottom if they start to wear unevenly.I upgrade to add tornado tips if I'm traveling to a snowy area.I did briefly have a problem several years ago with the quality of the crutch tips being too plasticky and not gripping well, but that material problem seems to have gone away. The tips that come with these crutches actually work very well and last at least 2-3months.I also had a bad set of lower legs that started squeaking almost within days out of the box. MM send me replacement legs and those worked great. I vaguely sense that they have improved the design of the shock absorbing legs. They seem to last much longer in recent years than my first pairs.They have also improved the construction of the handle integration at some.point so the hand grips don't slowly rotate around and dont require adjustment anymore.The foldability feature is very helpful for travel on airplanes. More times than not, the flight crew will store them unfolded in the overhead bin after luggage is put up there. They also stor unfolded in the coat closet on the plane. I only end up folding them if needed to get them into the bins. I don't love the push button release for folding them, and there's a little stopper bushing that sometimes comes out making it tricky sometimes to unfold it back after stowing. This is why I don't folding them very often unless I really need to do it.The bushings on the posts and hand grips wear over time and give the impression that things are getting loose, but they still just fine. I treat myself to a new pair about once a year, mostly so they are less clanky or squeaky than the worn out ones.I used to get the colored version. I have some old blue ones and one set of red. I'm pretty happy with the charcoal at this point in my life for professionalism. I wouldn't hesitate to paint them or put stickers on them if you need to express yourself.I agree that they are heavier than other crutches, but this doesn't bother me. My arms are very strong (i.e. I use crutches full time and long term.)Overall, I love these. They have been great for my quality of life.

These crutches are great. Very easy to use and stay in place under your arm better than old style crutches. Springs in legs help with shock absorption when walking. The handles are at a correct angle for walking. Excellent tips on legs make secure contact with floor and ground when walking. Very stable. If you need under arm crutches for long term use I recommend these. They cost less than carbon fiber but provide the best support I have had when walking. I wish the handles had magnets like their forearm crutches, it would make it easier to store them when not in use for example when at a restaurant or eating at home. Even so they store much more easily than the old style underarm crutches. One really nice feature is the handle can be adjusted to better fit your arm and grip. Highly recommend.

Been using the standard issue crutches for months. A second leg surgery is pending and I was looking for more sturdy crutches, better under arm support and more grip to surfaces. These crutches fit the bill. My only gripe is with the handles. They are hand specific and not comfortable. I’d rather an ambidextrous handle. One crunching up stairs, with a rail, means you turn the crutch around and there is no way to grip properly. Crutches are too bulky to double crutch like standard issue crutches. But the spring assist on stairs, up and down is brilliant.

I purchased these prior to my ACL surgery because 1) I could barely walk after the injury and 2) I wanted to get comfortable using them BEFORE I had to rely on them completely to get around after surgery. When looking for crutches I had no idea what to expect as I have only ever sprained my ankles before, and I hated the hospital crutches so much I refused to use them every single time! Let's be honest, no one likes to use crutches and there is a learning curve when not being able to rely on your own two legs when walking...w/ crutches it's like you have four legs with one being broken and just getting in the way. AND you have to use both your arms for support to make your legs and the crutches move without falling over. Seems simple, but for me it was a challenge.Initially, I was still hating crutches and couldn't find a rhythm to using them but I got semi-comfortable to walking w/ them prior to surgery. The top is padded, so they are comfortable under your arms. When using them, I do not put much weight on them from under my arms...I straighten my arms and use more of the palm of my hand to transfer my weight onto them so I can walk. With regular crutches I tend to want to hold the hand bar with a tight grip. I tried to grip these (fingers going around the entire handle) and it felt awkward...when I started using the palm of my hand to push down...I realized how the ergonomic handle supported my hand and wrist while walking. (I attached some pictures to show what I mean...hope they help. Excuse my dog who would not get out of the picture, he knows I'm broken and stays close by my side).The spring in them also took a minute to figure out...once I did, they really soften the impact to your hands/arms and you don't get tired out as quickly. It makes the transition of moving forward very fluid and not a harsh stop and go. These are lightweight but do not slip out from me while walking. I am starting to bear some weight on my injured leg and have found the spring assist has helped me control how much weight I put on my leg.They are easy to put together and quick and easy to adjust. I think I have finally found the perfect height for me. I actually stopped in the hospital parking lot before a post-op appointment and made them a little taller because the nurse in pre-op kept jacking with them to make them the same height as a "regular one". The problem was, when I pushed down on them, they were then too short and I was bending my back forward which was throwing off my balance and hurting my back. She actually tried to move the handles as well and I was like please stop touching them lolThese are definitely an upgrade from hospital crutches and it took me a little bit to get comfortable using them, but again, I hate crutches and didn't really have any true experience with using them. If you get them and it feels awkward to walk with them, you probably just need to tweak a few things with either how you are using them or adjusting them to find your perfect fit! Hope this helps anyone else trying to figure out how they are going to survive mastering the art of walking with crutches 😉
