This Month, we’ve chosen the Flexyfoot Carbon Fibre Folding Crutches:
About The Product
Flexyfoot Carbon Fibre Folding Crutches are the PERFECT travel companion!
These Flexyfoot folding crutches are manufactured from incredibly strong yet lightweight carbon-fibre. They are fully height adjustable, and you have the option of either a comfort or soft grip handle. Both handle options are designed so that even with prolonged use they are really comfortable to use.
As with all Flexyfoot walking sticks and crutches, the Flexyfoot Carbon Fibre Folding Crutches are equipped with their revolutionary designed Flexyfoot ferrule. The uniquely designed foot absorbs shock, which dramatically minimises discomfort in the arm and upper body whilst also providing up to 50% more grip than a traditional ferrule.
The Flexyfoot Carbon Fibre Folding Crutches are ideal for travelling. They fold down effortlessly to a compact size making them easy to store away whilst you’re on your travels.
The crutches are available in either red or black.
Who Are Flexyfoot?
Flexyfoot is making waves not just within the UK, but worldwide, supporting people with a wide range of needs from arthritis, brain tumours, paralysis, amputation, dystonia, and arthrogryposis and everything in between. Flexyfoot improves everyday lives with confidence, safety, and style.
The Flexyfoot products consist of a stylish and high-quality range of unique walking sticks and crutches designed to improve user comfort, that are packed with additional beneficial features. It is the ambition of Flexyfoot to turn traditionally “grey” walking products into desirable accessories, that not only look stylish but deliver substantial improvements in both comfort and safety for the user.
Their walking sticks and crutches are loved by an incredibly loyal bunch including Paralympians, amputees and even rock stars… Blaine Harrison (lead singer of the Mystery Jets), Sir Lee Pearson, Susan Seipel, Amanda Shirtcliffe and Andrew Skinner.
The Flexyfoot walking sticks and crutches have been used for support when playing squash, climbing Ben Nevis, Snowdon and soon one of their long time loyal supporters is going to climb to Base Camp Everest. Going further afield Flexyfoot products have been used in Canada on a variety of terrains, including walking in the snow and have been used in Hawaii to climb Mauna Kea.
Flexyfoot Reviews
DAVID HUBBER (DOUBLE GOLD MEDALLIST AT THE INVICTUS GAMES)
“I became a double gold medallist in the inaugural Invictus Games whilst doing Recurve Archery. Flexyfoot has helped to prevent my walking sticks and crutches from slipping in the gymnasium environment whilst getting in and out of my wheelchair, which in turn has given me the confidence to carry out my sport whilst knowing I’m safe from slipping around.”
AMANDA SHIRTCLIFFE (PARA DRESSAGE FOR TEAM GBR)
“Flexyfoot was recommended to me by a friend. I was struggling to prevent my crutches from slipping and was really cautious when walking with them. Since discovering the Flexyfoot ferrules I now feel much more confident on my crutches and can swing around like Tarzan!”
ANDREW SKINNER (GB PARALYMPIC SITTING VOLLEYBALL PLAYER)
“I was at the Amputee Games as a mentor some years ago, and someone was using the FlexyFoot ferrules and the black crutches. I asked to have a go and was hooked using them and I have never looked back. They are comfortable and easy on the hands and shoulders, plus they look good too. Get the black crutches as well to compliment the ferrules. 1000% better than health service ones.”
JON HILTON (WAR VETERAN AND LBK AMPUTEE)
“As a sportsman I have had several sporting injuries which resulted in crutches and I have used all types. Flexyfoot offer so much more than just a crutch. They give that extra stability and support, particularly on uneven surfaces and angled surfaces. Plus, the lightweight design, I cannot see me ever using any other walking aid like such.”*
“I Went out for a little walk last night and whilst some may say it was unsafe, I have never felt safer. Walking with Flexyfoot crutches has given me the confidence and reliability I have needed. I am stable and have a fantastic “foothold” on the ground with the supportive ferrules.”
SUSAN SEIPEL (TRIPLE WORLD CHAMPION AND PARALYMPIC BRONZE MEDALLIST IN PARA-CANOE)
“I have been using crutches for most of my life and I highly recommend Flexyfoot ferrules. In fact, I would never use anything else! Before Flexyfoot I would slip on sloped surfaces often, especially in wet areas. With Flexyfoot I don’t slip at all because the grip maintains contact with angled surfaces preventing falls. I use crutches daily and before Flexyfoot I needed to replace the tread every couple of months due to uneven wear. Flexyfoot ferrules last a lot longer than any others I have tried and are definitely a worthwhile investment for safety and quality.”
CHRIS MEYER (AMPUTEE FROM EUROPE)
“Today I explored the great winter landscape for the first time with my new ice boots from Flexyfoot. The ice boots offer total safety on snow and even on muddy ground on forest paths. A real increase in quality of life and my recommendation for crutch runners. The ice boots can be easily pulled over the Flexyfoot, for changing quickly on the go. For the first time ever, I was not afraid to fall with my crutches and was able to enjoy the great winter landscape.”
AZZY COSGROVE (ASTROCYTOMA BRAIN TUMOUR)
“As soon as my NDIS plan kicked in, I bought a pair of Flexyfoot closed cuff forearm crutches with their shock-absorbing ferrules. I never saw my life flash before my eyes when coming out of the bathroom again. The difference was amazing. They never slipped out from under me, the shock-absorption made it easier on my forearms and gone was that awful clunk-clunk-clunk that used to always announce my arrival.”
