Additional notes: Anyone under 5' might want to reconsider using these as I at 5' could only adjust these just small enough for me! Adding a strap between the holes might be a good option so you can use your hands without dropping the crutch or finding a place to set it down. Mine is made of duct tape shown in the images I provided. Another consideration is that it takes a little bit to get used to using another form of mobility aid and that there a learning curve.
Edit after long use:
The reflecter peices come off with man handling, but this does not effect the main functionality of the crutches (mobility).
The tips wear out fairly quickly with weight bearing. I weigh 115, so if youre heavier, they would wear out even faster. I recommend "Tornado crutch tips" to replace them with. They add SO much grip and some shock absorbsion, which is amazing. They last ages, I've used my crutches near daily for 10 months and the tornado tips barely show any signs of wear. Even grips okay on ice, but ice spike tips would be better if youre going to be doing lots of crutching on ice.
You might consider adding padding to the handles for more palm comfort. I have found I don't need it and prefer the plastic, but there are tons of covers made for crutch grips, I'd recommend looking on amazon or etsy for them.

Regarding rest of product...
They are very lightweight and with proper upper body strength you can move on one foot very quickly like 3 times faster than id regularly walk.
They are obvioualy shorter than conventional crutches which is very convenient when entering or exiting vehicle.
The ergonomics are fine except the handles are absolute garbage! Very thin stiff plastic grip with a small digit then abrupt edge. After first day my hands were killing me, this alone had me wanting to return.
Reason I am going to continue using for the time being..
The workout... While healing from a broken bone i am not able to workout.. These have forced me to use my upper body and core in a way that I haven't been conditioning otherwise. Plus they are nimble compared to traditional underarm crutches so once conquered I should be pretty fast.. Increase height to increase stride 👍
TLDR. handles will hurt alot but I expect to get used to it after awhile.. Foot grip will fall apart roughly 48 hours after purchase with minor use so purchase extra set from reputable manufacturer... Very light and nimble but unstable without upper body strength ... Overall worthy trial to overcome during recovery..

Opening the product presented me with a dilemma. I didn't want to leave my injured knee unsupported for any more days, and having the one crutch available is really helpful. This meant that I didn't want to return the one crutch which arrived, but there was still the issue of the missing one!
The automated AI customer service system at Amazon couldn't cope with this query at all, locking itself into a loop asking whether I wanted a replacement or return and refund. There is no box to tick for 'partial replacement' and I needed to keep the one crutch I had received. Finally, I was able to find Amazon's helpline number and speak with a real person. The agent I spoke with was great.
In the end, it was agreed that I would keep the one crutch I had and apply for a 50% refund for the missing one. I was really happy with that, as returning anything bulky is a big problem with a knee injury! And I need the crutch I've got. So big thumbs up to the Amazon customer service lady who is sorting this out.
But memo to the manufacturer: whilst the crutch is ideal, the plastic packaging it (half) came in is unfit for purpose. It looks like it ruptured very easily during in the (automated?) packing process, allowing one crutch to fall out. I guess it ended up on the floor of an Amazon packing warehouse somewhere? I recommend more robust packaging for this otherwise excellent product.
