First walking stick , used a stroller previously. It has given my a lot more freedom. Went up the escalator at Boundary Mill, Colne first time in approximately 4 years. Brilliant

Really comfortable to use a great product

Amazingly good crutches!!

Really well made. Light and strong crutches. Lovely fit. Extremely comfortable. I had to buy the wider cuffs as I found they pinched but very impressed. Problems solved easily when I messaged so I have zero complaints.

Cool

Very impressed, lightweight, comfy to use

Love it, love the colourway!! Slight difficulty getting the furrell off and a new one on. Looking forward to using it
