This style works much better for me than the traditional armpit crutches
This style of crutches doesn't rub my armpits, allows me to open doors more easily, and are more manuverable. This particular product works well for me. The adjustments are easy, the directions on where the handles and forearm pieces should be after adjustment are clear, and they seem sturdy. After a week or so of usage, there is a bit of a squeaky noise from the joint that allows the half-circle forearm pieces to rotate up, but that's pretty minor.<br /><br />There are only two pieces of advice I'd give for someone buying these crutches. If you have arm hair (like me), you might want to wear a long-sleeved shirt or sheathe the forearm pieces in cloth. They are rubberized to reduce slippage, and this is uncomfortable on bare forearms since it ends up pulling hair. Also, if you are worried about having your forearm come out of the opening, holding the handles a bit further away from the crutch and bracing my elbow against the back of the crutch seems to be a bit more stable.
