Are your crutches ready for Spring?
Here are some steps you can take to get your crutches ready for spring:
1. Check the condition of your crutches: Look over your crutches for any signs of wear and tear, such as cracks or frayed straps. If you notice any damage, you may need to replace your crutches.
2. Adjust the height of your crutches: Make sure the crutches are set to the correct height for you.
3. Clean your crutches: Wipe down your crutches with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or grime that may have accumulated on them.
4. Lubricate moving parts: If your crutches have any moving parts, such as the adjustment mechanisms, apply a small amount of lubricant to ensure they move smoothly.
5. Replace worn out tips: Check the tips of your crutches to make sure they are not worn out. If the tips are worn, replace them with new ones to ensure you have good traction on slippery surfaces.
6. Replace worn out padding: Check your hand pads, arm pads, etc. tomake sure they are in goodshape and comfortable for your use.
7. Practice using your crutches: If you haven't used your crutches in a while, take some time to practice using them again before you need to rely on them for daily activities. This will help you feel more comfortable and confident when you need to use them.

Great for travel, not for everyday use
I bought the Travel Folding Walking and Hiking poles in May 2024 for a trip to the beach. I love the compact design and all the accessories. Warning: be careful about getting sand in the joints! Once I cleaned the sand out, they worked great! After the beach trip, the Travel Poles were kept in the travel bag until winter time. When the weather got cold, in December, I started using the Travel Folding Poles again (instead of my York Official Walking Poles) because of the trekking straps which work much better with gloves and heavy mittens. I walk 3-4 miles a day, 5-6 days a week around my neighborhood. However, the Travel Folding Poles were not up to the task. Even though I wasn't folding and unfolding them at all, by mid February both poles had a broken joint. I noticed the joints come loose with that kind of use, so maybe all the tightening was a problem, or they're just not built for that much pounding. My husband glued them together and they're working fine; I just can't fold them to fit in a suitcase. Also, I found them to be noisy on the asphalt (more so than my York Official Nordic Walking Poles) so I bought a competitor's tips to use which helped tremendously.

Fantastic!
i have this product before and needed a new one after so many years.
it really helps me to walk as my right leg have no flex and must be able to lean left onto crutch for balance. some people say its bulky but its very secure and really keeps me feeling safe.
Wonderful
This is my 1st time feeling my balanced after surgery. Also grounded again. Planning my 1st trip in years, walking sticks make this possible. Very happy with this product.
Great! What a difference! VERY HAPPY!
Do I like enough to share w/others...even people I meet walking!? YES ABSOLUTELY!
Yesterday, asked couple to take the pik for me so I could send in w/raving review and ended up talking for an extended time and they wanted to know all about & show them & online info! And fold up so well to travel with! 👍👍👍
Thank you for the feedback and we love the picture!
Best I’ve ever had
I’ve been using these poles for a few weeks now while rehabbing from surgery and I am blown away by the quality. The shaped handles are fantastic (though quite large on this model — intended for larger hands). The design, materials and finish are all top-notch. You’ll know the moment you pick one up in your hand that this is a heavier, higher-quality, more durable walking stick than you’ve ever used.
