The Best Crutches I've Ever Used
I have a hypermobility disorder, and these have been amazing. My arm joints usually get punished when I use crutches, but these have significantly increased how long I can use crutches before my arms begin to have pain/discomfort. - They also came with foam padding for the arm cuff wings you can choose to add or not. They're definitely the most comfortable crutches I've ever used by a long shot. It's very easy to adjust the angle of the forearm area.My size specs: 5'7", narrow (9") arm cuff, 7.5' - 9" forearm lengthI got a box that says "medium" on itMy height is right between pins. one pin up is a little too short and one pin down is a hair too tall (but that's very nitpicky)Even adding the foam padded wings, the arm cuffs are so big my arm slides right through the top (I like to be able to let my crutch dangle from my arm if I'm using a hand, so if you have thin arms and like to do this too, you may have this issue)Perhaps I didn't get the right sized arm cuff?aesthetically very nice, the metal is all black coated and the sticker on the arm area is very nice quality. "Sleek" looking. The one part I *really* dislike is the advertising text on the arm area.... it ruins the pretty design.The spring tips are great for a more fluid motion, they are a little less stable in comparison to the standard tip (which still has great flex to it)

Comfortable, sturdy, well-made crutches
Like many others here I have EDS, with its associated ligament laxity and frequent injuries. I recently injured my foot and was prescribed regular crutches, but they were hard to use due to arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and ligament laxity in my hands. I ordered my smartCRUTCHes and they were delivered quickly, and I was able to use them to get around until I got my foot stabilized again. They are much easier to use than my regular underarm crutches, they are very sturdy and I feel secure when I use them.At one of my medical appointments, the technician I was working with commented on how nice the crutches were - he has worked in vocational rehab and was very impressed. I haven't had them very long but I am very happy to have them in my arsenal of tools that I need to manage my EDS.I also had a nice email exchange with the president of US distribution when I found out they are located very close to me, she was very friendly, and they got my crutches shipped out right away! I recommend them for anyone who has issues using traditional crutches due to hand or shoulder instability.

Good for taking pressure off your hands
I have arthritis in my hands and using a cane or crutches for longer periods of time is painful. I bought these because they're designed to not do that, and they work. It's been wonderful being able to use then for extended stretches of time without severe hand pain. They work well, are comfortable, and you can choose the colors. The best part for me was how adjustable they are.My 2 biggest complaints, which are annoying but don't make the product worse, are the weight and the giant logos. They are slightly heavier than other forearm crutches, which should be a consideration for anyone who needs something light. And the logos are a visual bummer. I ended up using stickers to mask it as much as possible. For me, neither of these are major issues.Customer service was great, even though I bought them off of Amazon. Make sure you take accurate measurements before placing your order. I fell in between sizes so they sent me extra padding if I needed it.These were absolutely worth the money for me and are worth trying if you're a spoonie with hand/shoulder pain from crutches.

One of the best purchases I ever made!
I have hEDS and have seen others talk about these but I was skeptical that it would work for me as I have horrible shoulder issues. A surgery landed me in a rehab hospital where a pair of these were donated and I happened to ask about them. I am so glad I did! I had been in this rehab hospital before 2 times and was mainly wheelchair bound due to POTS and hEDS, fatigue, etc. I would walk a few feet with a rollator but wouldn't last long. I couldn't belive how supportive and sturdy they felt, all without aggravating my shoulders. By the time I left rehab I had ordered my own pair and was already walking laps around what I could do before with a rollator. We even worked on stairs with them. These have given me so much more freedom! The padding is super comfortable and the pressure is spread out evenly through the forarm. Something about the design of these also really reduce impact while walking. Customer service was also great and responsive and helped to make sure I had the proper fit! I feel like they help my posture while I'm walking and also keeps my shoulders from freezing up and aching from keeping them in the same place like rollator handles. I'm so grateful to these and highly recommend!

Sturdy poles. Nice cuffs. Logo and pad horrible
I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and serious joint damage in all my large joints. I don’t usually need my wheelchair for short distances so I wanted these for that. They work great to keep me upright and stable. The poles are heavy duty and the rubber feet work well. They don’t put any stress on my damaged shoulders and wrists when I’m using them. Im very happy with that part.The handles are twisted a little weird for me and can’t be adjusted. The cuffs are comfortable but the padding for the wing parts didn’t come already applied. They fell out within 15 minutes of me putting them in. This is while they were sitting there unused. I tried again and held them in place longer but they fell out again. The adhesive stayed in the cuff but the pad won’t stay in. Now I have a sticky mess inside.The other thing I didn’t like was the design on the cuff. It looks dark and nice in the photos online but it isn’t. One side is a little lighter and the other side (shown in my pics) is very pale and not very pretty. The design also looks blurry and the company info splattered across it is tacky looking. You can’t read it very easily and I don’t want people bending over to get the info while I’m using my crutches. I’m busting out my vinyl and Cricut and taking care of that soon.
