Sturdy and Reliable - even in Zion and Yosemite
These are basic crutches that do the job well and are ROBUST. I am 6'1" tall and 165lbs/75kg and they are great. I ordered these along with a set of top of the line $220 Ergobaum 7G crutches for comparison. The more expensive ones were more comfortable (they had soft hand grips and suspension) but I kept these ones and sent back the more expensive ones simply because these looked more robust. I was not wrong. I am not the heaviest guy out there but I put the crutches through their paces hiking up Angel's Landing in Zion and Half Dome in Yosemite and used them to support my entire weight on long climbs and descents. The tips gripped well in dry and wet conditions. I have also used them to hike up streams with the tips completely submerged in water with no problems. On all occasions the crutches were great and the tips have lasted well - they got me to the very top of Angels Landing and Half Dome and they still have life in them (yup, I even got them up the chains and the cables, if you know those hikes...just don't tell my physiotherapist). Sure, they don't look as stylish as some crutches out there but the more expensive ones I bought and immediately returned only looked great because many of the components were made of plastic. I was worried they would eventually snap. These are mainly made of metal and have lasted well. I did get blisters on my hands on long hikes but gloves fixed this problem. An aftermarket handle grip pad would add more comfort. I am 6'1" tall and I bought the regular adult length and I do not have them on the tallest setting. Everyone is different but they are plenty long enough for me. For reference I used them whilst recovering from minor knee surgery. Hope this info helps.

Very sturdy!
I highly recommend these arm crutches. They’re sturdy and adjustable to every inch. Hold onto your arms snuggly, so you can lift your arm to turn on a light without them falling off. Great purchase!

Best I've tried yet
I really hope the seller read this. I'm a 6.2" amputee and use crutches for life. I'm well fit for my age (45) and height but finding crutches has become a nightmare lately in my country (Peru) as I haven't found these of my size that are also well built/long lasting. All I've found here are either too short, poor quality or made of some kind of plastic, which wont last long enough. This resulted on a posture problem for me and produced increasing shoulder and chest pain due to the effort and bad "lever" force I had to do with my arms with old, worn out and shorter crutches. I Did a research and coudn't actually find locally any to suit my needs. I decided to go ahead and look for something abroad and found these here. Had to pay almost double it's price due to shipping charges but I was desperate for a solution. After using these for a couple of days, shoulder pain almost dissapeared and now I find myself moving faster and having an overall much better posture. I can now go back to my daily exercise and try and get fit again. This is how big of an impact it had in my life. I really wish the seller can somehow join the "free shpping over USD50" program for Peru. I would definitely become a loyal customer and recommend these to all the amputee groups I'm member of. They're having the same problem as the seller that used to bring similar products here doesn't do it anymore or sell lower quality ones. Though I don't think they can afford USD 80 every two months but for the right price these would be an absolute must. All of this also made me think how limited of offers for amputees we're here in Peru even though we have some of the most solid economies in Latam. Hope there's a way to have your products here for the right price.

As standard as it gets
Good and sturdy, but loudly clicky even when adjustable pegs were fiddled with (was not the fault of the rubber stoppers). Very much so standard design so a bit clunky and difficult. Also a bit heavy to use comfortably. I recommend putting tape over the cuffs if arms repeatedly slide out like mine. The base is a bit hard and slips occasionally on tile, a slight give might be easier to navigate.

Not bad for the price
After surgery I required crutches to get around and used axillary crutches for the first 8 weeks before an amputee friend suggested I try forearm crutches since I had a delayed union & would need crutches for much longer. Her brand of choice was Walk Easy, but I didn't want to spend $100+. I ordered a set of like new Medline crutches for $30. I am 170 lbs & my arm would slip right out of the cuff so I utilized the hair band idea to hold the cuff tighter. Bonus was that it made walking a bit more stable. The handle has absolutely no padding and was uncomfortable in no time at all so I recommend you at least add a pool noodle to give some cushion. I made the cover for mine to save money. The legs tighten up and there was no noise whatsoever. I have been using these crutches for 4 weeks and the plastic coating on the cuffs are starting to crack & I'm hoping it doesn't peel off. If it does, I'll look into cuff covers. But for short term they are worth the $30 I paid. If I needed them longer term I probably would have gotten the other brand since the handles & cuffs are better & don't need covers. Plus, they come in a bunch of fun colors.

After finding out I needed hip surgery and my usual underarm crutches were leaving bruses I looked into forarm crutches but biggest issue is weight limits, I'm 5'9" and 280lbs but I took the risk and have no regrets, now ONLY issue I've found was the hand grips are very hard so needed some padding to help but past that these are great
