Good crutches
These are good forearm crutches. I am 5'8&#34; and these fit perfectly when I put the crutch length in the middle position and the cuff in lowest position. The cuff also fits perfectly. I have it adjusted to 2-3&#34; below my elbow, where my arm circumference measures 10.5&#34;. The opening in the cuff is about 2.5&#34; wide. The cuffs are made with a non-slip rubber like coating, which helps your arm stay inside the cuff.<br /><br />The handles are just basic, hard plastic handles. If you are inexperienced like I was, your hands will be hurting pretty good after a couple of days. I got a suggestion to look into getting well padded cycling gloves and those seem to help.<br /><br />The crutch tips are wearing out now, after 7 days of using the crutches. I read in the reviews that this is a problem with these crutches, so I ordered replacement tips when I ordered the crutches.<br /><br /> I'm pretty happy with these crutches. They are not really comfortable, but they are definitely doing the job. Just order replacement tips, if you think that you will be using these more than a day or two.
