I got my cool looking pink smartCRUTCHES yesterday. I took them for a test run today and they are amazing!
They will be life changing for me. I have MCTD so all my joints are bad. I couldn't use regular crutches because my wrists, elbows and shoulders couldn't bear the weight.
With the smartCRUTCHES there was no pain! I was able to stand longer, and shop longer today than I have in a long time. They took the pressure off my back and hips hence reducing the pain.
Thank you for creating such an amazing product! I can't wait until they come to Canada that's where I'm from. I'll certainly be telling anyone who needs the support about them. They've given me some of my life back.
Thank you to the staff as well for the phenomenal customer service. I'm grateful in every way.

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.
