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.
Took a little getting used to after regular forearm crutches, but now I am very comfortable using them. They relieve some of the stress on my hands as my forearms take on the pressure. The fit is perfect. Very pleased.
Having spent weeks at a time on crutches of all kinds, the jolt from having them hit the ground are not only jarring, but painful as well. These actually not only decrease the jolting, but they're really nice at maintaining their place where you put them, without it feeling unbalanced or like they're sliding. Highly recommend.
There was a little hiccup with the cuff size when I ordered, but the customer service was so fast and kind. A cuff swap went in for me right away and I got the right size cuffs so quickly!
The fit is now truly perfect. I'm so elated to have my smart crutches!
I feel like I am free to go about my life again, and I've been taking walks everyday now that I feel more stable. Thank you!
