I love my new walking stick!

This is my first purchase from Cool Crutches and I'm so happy with my walking stick. Not only is it pink and glittery, but it is also adjustable in length with a moulded hand grip. I now have a stick that I can adjust depending on what shoes I wear and it's so easy to lengthen or shorten. Customer service was also great in responding to help explain my VAT exemption forms too. Thanks Cool Crutches!

A wonderful investment! I used to use a cane, but it would put pressure on my hands and shoulders, and I have two bad legs so it wasn't always helpful. These are so much more comfortable and have a wonderful grip on them. I recommend it to lots of people!!

Helped a lot at restaurants and hangouts!

An excellent good quality walking stick. Feels safe and secure. Expensive but worth it.
