Invacare Safe in Crutches (Pair), Colour: Blue

sturdy good looking

Good value, well designed, very strong, lightweight. On maximum adjustments, the crutches are comfortable and the right dimensions, even for someone 6ft 3in tall. The crutches are easy to use and allow you to walk, while letting you choose how much weight to put on each leg. This is a great aid to recovering from an injury. The red and white reflectors are a good idea and remind you of the correct way round to insert your arms. The movable arm grips allow the crutches to be rested against a wall without falling over, when you are not using them. I only gave Comfort 4 stars because the plastic handles are a little hard on the palms of your hands, but you could use a piece of towel to pad if necessary.

Bought these about a month ago due to having increasing mobility issues that have me unsteady on my feet and chronic swellings inside my joints on the weightbearing joints. I never wanted to admit that i needed crutches because in my mind i felt i could manage. But when i came to the point of being in excruciating pain in public and crying significantly i had to admit defeat and buy some crutches to aid myself getting about to get the shopping in.So upon buying the crutches, they arrived promptly and look well made. Even the little holes to adjust them are hidden which i think is brilliant and stylish.It has taken me a while to find my rhythm walking with them. They stop me limping and thats what i needed. To stop limping on my bad hip as it is the most painful.I have noticed that the longer i use them in a day my hands get sore. Maybe its the arthritis that encourages it to hurt more i don't know. But I've bought some handle covers with memory foam and that has helped immensely.Would i recommend these to someone else to buy?YES, of course i would. They are my lifesavers... 👍

Took me ages to figure out how to adjust but once I found out, I got my perfect height. If I fancied another pair in a different colour I would definitely order again. Have only just got them about an hour ago. I've seen reviews which say the plastic elbow holds break easily - believe me, all elbow holds break easily especially if the crutch accidentally falls. My last pair - NHS supply - did. I will be extra cautious with these and treat them with the utmost respect. I opted for a pair of crutches with an ordinary grip rather than an aergonamic grip. I have arthritic fingers and the ordinary grip is the best.

Fast delivery arrived within 24 hours of ordering. Really comfortable has helped me get around while suffering with sciatica

They are very light weight which is what I was looking for. Many others except NHS are very heavy. The colour blue is nice. The handles are comfy and my hands do not slip off the ends like they do on the NHS type ones. Overall very pleased with them. They do not come with instructions on how to alter them which is not good but thanks to others on the internet it was easy to do. Although very tight so may need a strong hand if you are frail.

I've only just received these so can't comment on durability. There is a fair amount of flex which concerns me a little but may also absorb some of the impacts during use. I love the colour (red) and the silence (no clicking). I can now sneak up on people (or try to) once again!The handle is hard plastic but ergonomically shaped and is not left/right specific. So if like me you take one up and down the stairs, you are not stuck with using the same hand. However depending on your usage you may still want to look at some cushioning for the handles.Unfortunately the delivery let me down as they would not wait for me to get down the stairs to the front door. I called to them out he window and they were in a hurry and left the box by the front door and walked away. Perhaps a discrete label on the box to indicate the recipient may be disabled and could take longer to answer the door might help.

Nice crutches! Only used indoors few hours but seem fine , I would have given 5* if there had been instructionsOn how to adjust, save trying to work it out, its simple enough once you get it!I have enclosed some photos that may help, also of hand grip of mine, as some customers have been asking about that too.Overall recommended.....
