Chronically Badass Canadian Kerri is a blogger who approached smartCRUTCH to use and review our crutches after enduring a long term injury to her knee due to her biomechanics (Read the 'About' page on her website here).
Kerri has now trialled them and has written an extensive blog review which includes a dozen photos as well as two videos of her unboxing and setting them up as well as using them and reviewing.
Here's her full review on her website kerriontheprairies.com
To personalize them even further Kerri did a sweet recover in pink and white and also added some velcro strapping to the cuffs, which she shows you and has taken photos of.

Kerri does archery and here's a fun instagram post from an archery outing with her smartCRUTCH
My second purchase of the rubber tips. Well made, durable and fit my existing poles.
Finally poles for someone taller. These things are great, super sturdy with grips that fit my hands.
I love my new foldable walking poles. They are so convenient to use when out hiking. Recently brought them with me to the Berkshires; they made trekking through the snow so easy!
It's really made my recovery easier (I broke my ankle) and I'm sure it will be useful for other mobility issues I have.
Don't get me wrong they're useful. They help the crutches stand up and be less likely to tip. But honestly thats all the praise I can give them. The main issue I have is that the to top magnets piece are not long enough to extend past the crutch cuff. This results in the magnets not being able to fully make contact SIGNIFICANTLY reducing their ability to stick together. The advertisements are more tame here on smart crutchs than geckos own site but you cannot carry one and support the other because without the magnets making that full contact they aren't strong enough to support the weight. Additionally (not smart crutches fault) the wrist straps gecko sells are not long enough to reach your wrists even on the smallest forearm setting, which I use. I use them every day, but I wish they were better.
