I got these crutches after a recent groin injury and I could not be happier. My wrists and hands were hurting from the traditional crutches I got from urgent care, so I needed a quick solution. Smart Crutch took the time to answer all my questions before and after purchase to ensure I had the right fit and was happy with my purchase. They have excellent customer service and truly care about their customers. I have hEDS, so while I hope to not need these in the future, it is comforting to know that I have a reliable and comfortable option for getting around when my body needs extra support. These are sleek and pretty lightweight. I am 5'1 and can easily maneuver these. After I heal from this injury and am walking on two feet again, I look forward to using these for museums and other activities that require long standing/additional support. The investment is worth every penny!
York Nordic provided the best, thoughtful customer service I have ever encountered. I had purchased the wrong grip poles, so I emailed York Nordic, asking for advice. Lauren immediately sent me new poles while I returned and was credited for the originals.
I have used Smart Crutches for about 10 years now. They are great for limited weight bearing or if you’re like me and can’t bear weight on wrists and hands so the weight is instead shifted to the forearm which helps tremendously for chronic/long-term use! Would love to have more frame color options but it’s nice getting to decorate the cuffs!
These walking poles are exceptional. After spine surgery, and then some complications, these walking poles are a godsend. Using them encourages me to be mindful of my posture and more confident with balance while building endurance. I particularly like the contoured hand rests that enhance my comfort while gaining my stride.
These slip around too much during use. Unable to use.
I think these are incredibly comfortable! My forearm sizing fell at 9.1, and I wish I’d sized down (7.5 to 9) rather than selecting the 9.1-10 option, since it fits slightly too big and rides closer to my elbows than I would have liked! Overall pretty happy, though!
I wasn't sure about getting these but they are fantastic! Not only do they make using my crutches on uneven ground a lot easier but the cushion the impact of the crutch hitting the ground with normal use which then puts less strain on my joints which is an unexpected perk.
Thank you for my replacement gloved! I am finding that the gloves even when "clicked" in seem to be coming loose and falling to the ground. I believe this is how I lost my original glove. Do I need new poles? I'm part of the CCNW club and bought them when we joined up with your company. Thank you for your help!

Quick service, reasonable price. Very pleased I was able to easily secure replacement part.
Great product but hard to understand sizing. Stuck with the wrong size and can't use them because they rub my arms raw.
Purchased to enhance my walking used them this week and they worked well
I have hypermobility which makes standing stationary difficult. Bought these by recommendation from my doctor. I was really worried that I would be uncomfortable using them. They’re great quality, super stylish (I get such a confidence boost with them) and arrived faster than expected when I ordered them! 10/10 I LOVE these and would buy them again! Very easy to get access to your hands without dropping the crutches has got to be one of the most convenient things about these.
Way lighter than standard.
Always great quality and affordable!
These crutches tips are the best there is !
Great shock adsorption and grip !
I’ll never use another brand to replace the originals.
Thanks
The walking sticks are really good, especially the smaller ones or regular size. They’re very comfortable and much more stable than others. I’ve used very well well-made great to use.
Using these for daily walks is exactly why I chose them. The thumb spaces help my post surgery carpal tunnel wrists stay pain free. The extra tips are handy for changing terrain from concrete to grassy to asphalt to packed clay. So happy with my choice
I have enjoyed using these so far (had several days now). I like the variety of patterns to decorate with. The flexibility of the crutch tips are very useful; I didn't realize I needed that feature until upgrading from my standard crutches! The ease of changing crutch length far surpasses that of standard crutches, and my wrists are VERY happy with reduced pressure.
I do fall almost perfectly between measurements for forearm length and circumference which is unfortunate because both options are a little uncomfortable. I also don't love how much incredibly visible branding there is compared to most mobility products.
Overall I'm happy!
Overall I’m happy with these poles. I love the fact they are adjustable and affordable. The only concern I have are the locking mechanisms on the poles - mine don’t snap down so occasionally one pole or the other begins to collapse.
The net pocket is so perfect for holding phones and the internal pocket has plenty of space for wallets and other stuff without being too big. This was exactly what i needed.
Very satisfied with all products! The ergonomics are so functional and quality 1st class.
It fits perfectly! I needed new paddimg since mine was gettkng a bit soft so this is very needed and it really gives extra support
I have had them for two days and they have made a HUGE difference already. I have heds and they support in a way where they don't hurt my shoulders or wrists but still take pressure off my lower body. They are a game changer!
