Awesome I was just looking into new crutches! Glad you made this video!!!!

I use Indesmed crutches (aluminum) but have similar design to these. My main dislike are the crutch handles, for me due to the plastic material they break very easy and the same for the handcuff, and to replace them is pricy. The main advantage, they are adjustable and stylish. I hope they improve the material and use stainless screws.

Hey Josh. I'm a RL high A/K amputee - mirror image of you. (We should maybe share shoes!) But right now I want to write that I appreciate your fine review. I'm a big fan of Tom - been using his titanium lightstix practically since they came out, and used an earlier crutch model of his before that. I usually use the performance rain tips despite being heavier as the tornadoes are not as long lasting and I am too lazyto want to change them regularly. And the rain tips are worthy of the nobel prize imho. I'd like to try these new black phantoms, but I am a little concerned about the handles/grips. Anyway, so glad I discovered you through Fetterman's site. Keep up the great work!

Hi Josh! I have stage 4 cancer with bone mets and lotsa joint/muscle/bone pain from treatments and I am searching for my first pair of forearm crutches...and I've been super down doing so. But I am so uplifted finding this video of yours! Your positive attitude and humor lifted me up so, thank you Josh! 💗

I've been using these crutches for almost two years. I've used forearm crutches for 50+ years and these crutches have been a life changer for me. They have made such a huge difference in my life in making it easier to get around.

This review is so good, I just felt the desire to get those crutches, even though I have fully functional legs. Good job!

I want those too, they look really comfortable, but damn the price is too steep. Since I am disabled for life, I will start saving then lol.

I wish fetterman still sold the rosewood crutches. Mine still working great after 21+ years now.

I generally walk with two canes and have wrapped tennis racket wraps around the handle cushions cause I like how they feel on my hands. However, my canes are wearing out and I was thinking of replacing them with forearm crutches and was looking for the advantages/disadvantages over canes. One answer I've received so far is that forearm crutches are more stable than canes, but $1000 is too steep for my pocket book though.

I already got the wbsite, but they are pretty expensive!

the stress that any crutches would put on your hands - that never occured to me before! yikes... very eye opening. love the lightweight concept though. not a user myself (yet? because who ever knows what the future brings...), just a fan 💖

I want to get those !

I love the red sneaker.

I use the walk easy adjustable crutches. These sound great, but they are eight times the price!

wish this was available when i was recovering :O

Yo siempre e usado muletas axilares desde hace 19 años soy muy ágil con ellas pero estas se ven increíbles te hace ver muy libre y ágil ahorrs para comprarme unas, me gustaría saber que opinas sobre lss muletas axilares con amortiguadores. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽

I've been on forearm crutches my whole life (54 years; I have cerebral Palsy, I really need new crutches but the new forearm crutch cuffs are too wide for me. I like the cuffs on his crutches. I just don't quite understand how you adjust those crutches, he was a bit unclear on how you adjust the height . if any have the answer to that question on how to adjust the height, please let me know here on how to do it

I lean pretty hard on the front part of the cuff of my current forearm crutches and the cuff is completely closed. It looks like there's a slight opening on the front of the cuff of these crutches. If you lean on this, will it open and could your arm slip through?

I've never tried forearm crutches. I'm convinced they're better and I'm ready to order a custom pair, just can't decide witch ones. Do you like these carbon fiber crutches better then the Titanium LiteStix? What is your favorite everyday pair? I'm concerned the silicone hand grips on these will wear out and it looks like they can't be swapped out.

Is there a way to get a discount through you ? 🙈

Thanks for the demonstration. They are lignt but expensive. I live in France : can I buy them?

How come they don't skid? I would assume light crutches would not have as good grip of the floor.

Pendulum Kick! :-D

Is there a situation where you would want a heavier crutch for momentum or something?

Yeah, I can't buy food so....1000 buck. I wish. Maybe some day.

Pimp your Crutches with some Pizzaz Josh! :-D

carbon fiber

850 dollars!

i wish i could afford these :(

Too expensive. I like the FDI crutches made in France.

Id like a set of these for a lifelong disability but there is no way I could afford them. Maybe one day but until then $100-200 is pushing it for my budget.

I have a few beefs with this review, seems a bit like it's just an advertisement and not a critical review. My biggest issue is the myth of light weight crutches. When you crutch, you lift crutches a few inches at most so weight is a non issue. I actually like a little weight when swinging crutches, it feels more secure. Again one is swinging a crutch such a short distance that it's not an issue IMHO. These seem overpriced to me compared to other carbon fiber items: Carbon fiber ski poles, carbon fiber paddles, carbon fiber tripods, etc. But then again all medical equipment is overpriced. Carbon fiber can be fragile and fail catastrophically if you don't get the layup right. I know one person that had one of these crutches fail almost immediately. If nothing else, it seems the quality control may be lacking. I do have carbon crutches and you do have to be more careful with them. I do not think they absorb more shock than metal crutches. Perhaps they would if the bend was in the right place and they actually flexed. But they don't. Lastly, the handles are not ergonomically designed. Nothing comes close to the Ergon bike grips that Sidestix offers. Sidestix has now come out with their own grips but I have not tried them. I'll bet they are good though. Personally, I would not buy carbon crutches again, bad value, too fragile, really no benefit.
