These crutches rock! I wasn't nervous about my surgery, but was wigged out by the 1-2 months of boot/crutches aftermath. I got these about a week before surgery and practiced - do this if you possibly can. As with any crutch, it's weird to move this way in the beginning, so I was happy to initially use them w/both legs viable.
After surgery, it didn't take long to feel more comfortable using them, and a few days after that I was scooting around and actually had fun using them. I had been worried about how they might be on my back and wrists, but that was no problem and in fact I felt my back getting stronger with time.
Another great thing is that the same pair can be used by different people unless they're wildly different heights/weights. So my husband can use the same ones, should he need them.
Ordering was easy, delivery was pretty quick, and they followed up to make sure I received and liked them. I HIGHLY recommend these, and have told everyone I know to just get them, should they ever need crutches. Worth every penny!

I’ve been using Smart Crutches for almost 15 years and am very happy with them. Before that I used the old fashioned crutches with the gray cuffs around the top of your forearm. Smart Crutched are much more adjustable so your arms can be where you want them, horizontal, vertical or somewhere in between. The cuffs and hand grips are very comfortable. The choice of designs is fun. Customer services is fantastic!
I just bought my second crutch. I've had the first one for a couple years and it's been great. I've had to use a cane for 30+ years and the adjustable angle has been a game changer for the pain level in my elbow. (Elbow joints don't like to use a cane for that many years!) Lately I've had to use crutches on both arms to offset the impact on the one arm/elbow. After experiencing increasing pain in my other hand I decided to order another smart crutch for the other arm. It is currently eliminating the hand pain. Thanks for a great product. I would not be "walking" my 8-10k steps a day without them!
My daughter is a really skinny person so the extra padding definitely helps thank you
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.
