Life changing. Nearly a year of use!

Life changing. Nearly a year of use!
As someone with a connective tissue disorder, all my joints dislocate multiple times a day. I deteriorated to the point walking outside of my own home became dangerous. I started using my wheelchair anytime I left the house. It gave me freedom back to some extent but I was trapped in the chair. Normal (auxiliary) crutches were not an option due to the pain and dislocations I experienced in my upper body, the lack of stability, and inconvenience of their size. I researched forearm crutches and I decided to buy a pair. The very fancy crutches wouldn't be in stock for another few months and I bought this pair until then. It's been life changing. I walk upright with these as compared to normal crutches, no hunching over. There's barely any pain in my upper body from using these, only my palms hurt after extended use. I've been able to move freely and confidently with less pain! I even went through grocery shopping entirely on these crutches. They are sturdy, sleek, and functional. I cannot recommend these more.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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Painful handles, poor quality feet but nimble and fast
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2019
I am undecided at this time if I will be returning these.. I am on day 2 of using these and the feet have already degenerated completely. They are absolutely unstable on anything other than carpet in this condition. Fortunately I saw reviews indicating this might happen so I ordered replacement feet when I purchased the crutches.
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..
