This is a great adjustable crutch for the money. Made in France this European aluminum lightweight weighs in at slightly less than 2 pounds per crutch. The Ergo Grips fit the right and left hands individually so the crutches cannot be switched from hand- to hand. The grip is similar in feel to "The Right Grip" in that it holds the hand in so the wrist is not bent as much as a regular grip. The grips are also tilted up so the weight tends towards the heel of the hand where there is the most padding. I found that the angle of the cuff was too steep. This made the back of my arm feel uncomfortable and I felt my center of balance to be too far behind the crutch. To remedy both of these problems I added a set of my Padded Leather Cuff Inserts (a $40.00 value) for comfort and to move my center of gravity forward so I was more on top of the crutch handles. The cuff inserts also can easily be pulled out to give more room when wearing bulky winter coats. The plastic arm cuffs come to a "V" in the front where they open. The opening is very narrow so you cannot hold your hand on the grip and push the back of your arm into the cuff like you can with most metal cuffs. The interior size of these cuffs can be altered with a heat gun. I also install a pair of my great Tornado gel tips (a $23.00 value) to enhance comfort and to protect the upper body for the long haul. These crutches will adjust to fit users with heights of 5'0" to 6'4". They come in a range of epoxy-coated colors: Coal, Electric Blue, Granite Silver, Marine or Plum. The WalkEasy warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship only. User weight limit is 200 pounds.
