 they get the job done but... Feb 28, 2008
By P. Choo
these are not my favorite crutches. the underarm pads are made of a type of rubber that graps a hold of whatever shirt or jacket you are wearing making it very difficult to get the damn things under your arms where they are meant to be. the grips are made of the same material but they don't use enough of the material, in other words, very thin. My palms are so sore that it's almost impossible to grip them in the morning when I wake up.
These crutches are very heavy. It's not something that you notice if you are using them for a short time. Unfortunately for me I have to use crutches for 8 weeks. In a very short time I found them to be heavy when compared to the crutches I was using previously.
This pair of crutches was meant to replace the borrowed pair. The underarm pad material was smoother, the grips much thicker, and they were much lighter.
Replacement pads for theses crutches cost almost as much as a new set of crutches.
Skip these. Get a pair made by Sunmark, the brand of the crutches that I borrowed and the brand I'll be looking for as soon as I get done writing this review.

 Price generally determines quality Dec 30, 2010
By Edward
How much use something is going to get determine what level of quality you want to invest in. Sometimes a product is good for a short time, but the price is so good that it is cheaper to keep replacing the cheap item. I do that with dvd players. I buy the 25 dollar model and it lasts me 18 months as opposed to the 250 types.
For me, I know I only needed about 2 weeks on crutches. If I knew I was going to use them for 3-6 months, I would have done a lot more research and some testing. For the price, these crutches were excellent. Solid construction and easy to adjust. I never did any long walks during the first week so can not comment on that, but around the house and short distances they were fine.
I liked the armpit cushion being sticky since some days I was alone in the house and I was able to hold a cup or plate in one hand and guide the crutch with my shoulder. The crutch remained in place under my arm.
Overall, very happy with this purchase and nice to have a set in the house for any future issues.

"crutch user"
I would not recommend these crutches if you need to use them for longer than 3 months. The rubber in the pads soon starts to wear leaving annoying pieces of rubber on your clothes and hands. The top pads also soon ripped due the plastic frame being curved. They are fine if you just need them for a couple of weeks. For longer term use I would go with a higher quality brand.
Gets the job done Apr 15, 2012
By ZeeZee
Inexpensive, gets the job done. Love the adjustability. Had some bruising under my arm area, but was informed I wasn't using them properly.
 Cheap, for 2-3 days use only Oct 29, 2011
By User
One must remember - you get what you pay for. If you are looking at using it for maximum 4 days, then you may try these.
I knew I will be using it just for 4 days. Hence bought this cheaper one. After using these for 2 days, whereever this plastic touches the body, the burning sensation starts.
You can't really use it later
