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.
