Flexyfoot Standard Soft-Grip Handle Closed-Cuff Crutches (Pair)

Most people find the standard crutches given out at the hospital are too uncomfortable and not supportive enough, resulting in a lower quality of life.

Better Shock Absorption

Traditional ferrules (the caps on the bottom of crutches) do not absorb the shock which is generated every time the crutch touches the ground, which then travels through the hand and arm, leading to fatigue and discomfort. The Flexyfoot ferrule's uniquely designed bellows absorb shock, which in turn can help relieve this pain.

This shock absorption is ideal for people that are suffering from elbow and shoulder pain as a result of using crutches or other walking aids. The Flexyfoot features two parts: a collar and pleated bellows. The bellows act like a spring to absorb shock, meaning less shock is transferred to your body when compared with standard rubber ferrules.

Perfect for Rough Terrain

Because the bellows make the ferrule flexible, the pair of Flexyfoot Crutches will stay in contact with the ground even over rough terrain, helping to provide greater grip. This can help make you feel more comfortable and secure, and allow you to be more active when wearing your crutches.

Ergonomic Design

The Flexyfoot Standard Soft-Grip Handle Closed-Cuff Crutches are built for comfort.

Their closed cuff is designed to keep the crutches connected to the arm, giving you more freedom to move your hands. What's more, the Flexyfoot Closed-Cuff Crutches even include front and rear reflectors for maximum safety in the dark.

How High Are the FlexyFoot Crutches?

The FlexyFoot Crutches can be adjusted from 75cm to 105cm. This height is from the bottom of the ferule to the top of the stick. This level of adjustment makes the crutches perfect for many different users.

Safe and comfortable
22 December 2024  |  Leo

I've been using crutches full-time for 10 years, and these are the safest and most comfortable ones I've used to date. I've owned a pair of these previously, so read to the end if you're interested in hearing how they wear over time.

The build quality feels great. The aluminium structure is tightly fitted and does not rattle or click with pressure.

The flexible ferrules (feet) prevent the grip from wearing down quickly with heavy use, which in my case significantly reduced the chance of slipping or falling, especially in the colder months.

The rubber handle grips is firm but soft, and comfortable. There are also red light reflectors on the front and back of the handle, which I thought were a gimmick at first, but have actually been very helpful in staying visible when out at night.

I've used a pair of these near-daily for the past 5 years, so they've seen some heavy use. In that time, the tight aluminium build quality has slightly loosened and stretched, adding a slight click when pressure is applied, but the structure is still rigid and safe. The handles have worn the worst, wearing away around the shape of my grip and loosening so they rotate slightly. The material has also softened up significantly and feels slightly sticky to the touch. The ferrules are still in extremely good shape, which is a testament to how much their flexibility helps to avoid wear. In fact I haven't had to replace them once, whereas I would go through a new pair each month for more conventional ones.

Even with the significant wear of the handles over the 5 year period, these are still the best crutches I've used by a significant margin.
