"Can't say enough great things about my smartCRUTCHES. First off, they are way more comfortable than the 3 different pairs of traditional armpit crutches I also have. They are also much more agile for getting around tight spaces like restaurants and crowded areas. I get around town using Lyft and Uber and can easily toss these in because of their smaller size.
I work in tech in Silicon Valley and get numerous compliments from my style and design-minded peers about how cool and modern they look.
The customer service team has also been incredibly caring and responsive.
These crutches have made my recovery from ACL surgery significantly more manageable and I feel more able than I thought I could."

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.
