I had a broken wrist and need crutches that did not put so much pressure on my wrist. These were perfect! I highly recommend them!
These trekking poles are sturdy and have fun designs. The handles are very comfortable and provide great support for balance on uneven surfaces or on even surfaces if you have balance problems. The only downside is that if you are using them in a therapy clinic to trial for patients, adjusting the height is not simple and it takes time to get both sides even. For that purpose, button settings would be easier. But if you are purchasing for a single person use, then once they are adjusted for the height, they stay put.
All other tips I’ve tried barely last 2 or 3 months which is pathetic why even sell them if they are that useless? That’s why I only use these tips, I actually get a decent amount of time out of them
I bought these motivator poles to every-day use at home to keep my gait correct and reduce stress on my joints. I already have a pair of the folding ones for travel. My wrists thank me for using poles with the grips these have that let my wrist rest and my thumb stay in a position that reduces stress on my hand and wrist. My physical therapist is quite impressed with my poles. And I get compliments on the appearance of my poles!
These are really nice to have! I really like how the top base part moves to change the position of your forearm/elbow. That's why I got these vs traditional forearm crutches was because my cane always ends up hurting my shoulder or my elbow and I was hoping these would be nicer!
However, they're pretty bulky and don't collapse/fold so there's no easy way to transport them or store them. I also feel like a giant billboard and the design is kinda ruined because of it... The brand name is displayed in LARGE letters in 3 places.. both sides of the arm mechanism at top and down the bar of the crutch... I understand having to advertise the brand name but even one side of the arm mechanism would be okay? Or just down the bar? I feel like it just kinda ruins the design.
I do overall enjoy these crutches and believe them to be helpful and incredibly beneficial when you've got multiple joint pain issues and not just lower body issues.
I had a comibnation ear infection (which threw me off balance compltely) and an emotional shock which stopped me in my tracks (literally).
These poles have set me back on course. Only three days in but I'm moving again. Love them!
I was impressed by the customization of the forearm weight bearing crutch and the prompt customer support for how to adapt the crutch for my unique circumstances.
I highly recommend the forearm crutch.
Thanks!
I love these poles. They are sturdy and give me confidence. My only complaint is the handle which I find awkward but hope to get used to over time.
I have had other really nice walking poles, but the handgrips for the York Nordic poles are a real game changer. I’m taking these on vacation!
I needed to get these ice grips with expedited shipping before the winter storm hit. I reached out to the company and received excellent customer service. They shipped the product same day, and I received it in time. It really helped me to not slip on the ice.
The poles are adjustable to just the right height. They are sturdy enough to stop, lean, and rest (and I’m a big person). Customer service was quick and helpful. Would recommend.
We purchased smart crutches for our 18-year-old daughter who has a connective tissue disorder that causes her significant pain and joint dislocation issues. While our insurance wouldn’t cover the smart crutches, we ordered them anyway and boy are we glad we did! On her very first day with Smart Crutches her pain was decreased & she was able to sleep through the night for the first time in years!! These Smart Crutches are worth their weight in gold. They reduce her pain level and help her navigate physically! If you struggle with mobility issues and are considering Smart Crutches GET THEM! You will not be disappointed!
I love the print but do not like that it is plastered with your companies name website and phone number. It kind of ruins the vibe. I dont mind that info being on the shift of the crutch but to put it on the part that is decorative doesn't make sense.
Love the spring assist feature
I needed something for balance and partial weight bearing and a cane was not cutting it. I tried multiple styles and they caused too much strain on my hand, wrists, and elbow joints. I looked at this for months before taking the plunge because I couldn’t try it first. But, finally, I decided to pick a side and give one a go. I’m so glad I did. I plan to order one for the other side, because you just never know which joint you’re going to need to support with hEDS or if you’re going to have a flair or injury in an upper joint making that arm not useable.
They plaster their name and logo and telephone number three times on each crutch, if you choose a pattern instead of basic black…on both sides/ bottom of the cuff (more is covered than not) and again on the shaft. It’s impossible not to look like a walking advertisement for them, even after paying premium prices. It embarrassing, disgusting and exploitation.This is not the way to treat people, much less paying customers.
You gotta grab a set of these! They are worth every penny. I love how they stabilize my crutches when they are standing alone by themselves. You are also able to hang things on your crutches if you need to. You gotta get some.
Somehow, I missed that I did not need to order extras of these, two of them came on my poles. So I shouldn’t have spent the extra 20 bucks but whatever, now I have backups.
My word these are amazing. Ive tried other poles and never felt as supported or “right sized” as I do with these. The hand support, the grips, and the thumb options all make this a superior pole. Plus the purple is a great color.
The only issue that I have is that it is too easy to lose the flip lock. I tried my best to keep them tightened, but I lost them both. Now, I have to pay to get new ones. I am probably going to put something around the pole to be sure that I don't lose them again. I have used these poles for months now, including two months traveling with two of the weeks doing a lot of walking tours. I was having wrist pain using regular hiking poles. The thumb grip and palm cradle on these poles really helped. Also, the poles collapse down to a size that fits my newer checked luggage (smaller than my old luggage). I have the older version that does not have push buttons to connect the pieces. They have connector inserts that have worked well for me because it made it so easy to take apart and put together quickly which was important when traveling by train. I hope they last a long time.
Found the Nordic Walking Poles a great asset in my daily walking routine. Excellent on all surfaces including beach walks.
I waited a while to writed my review until I had used your tips on my Nordic walking poles. I have been walking about 2 miles a day over sidewalks and street asphalt.
These tips are the best ones I have used. Unlike the others I have used, these tips wear evenly over the bottom of the tip, taking full advantage of the length and breadth. With the other tips, the end of the pole would wear straight through the tip completely, not utilizing most of the rubber that made up the tip. I think the V-Tread contributes to the even wear and stability I feel with the poles. Thank you,
I have the Heavy Duty Walking Poles from York Nordic and could not be more pleased with them. I am 80 years old, 6’2””and 240 lbs and I deal with balance issues and a heart condition. The York Walking Poles make me feel very secure when exercise walking and have improved my balance and speed. I highly recommend these Walking Poles.
Very comfortable and adjustable.
The ability to change not only the height but the angle of how my arm rests is a gamechanger.
As someone with a connective tissue disorder these crutches have given me the ability to be a bit more normal and allow me to move quickly, which I haven’t been able to do in a long time.
And if you suffer from shoulder pain like I do, it does reduce that pain since the entire body isn’t taking the impact of each step.
