Flexyfoot Shock Absorbing Walking Stick Ferrule

This item is a must have for crutch users. I've tried most rubber stoppers and most are rubbish. I've been on crutches for 9 years with a full leg amputated so I know what's best out there for me and this item is best I've had. They are softer landing so they are good for the shoulders my aches have gone using these. They are good on wet supermarket floors to when it's raining I don't have to think 5 moves a head encase floors wet.😁😁. I'm very happy and I've had them 4weeks to make sure they lasted ok and they are as good as day one. I'm using NHS crutches which are normally 22mm. Hope this helps guys.

I'm 34 and have had bursitis in my hip twice and now have fibromyalgia which can make walking agonising. I've been aware of Flexyfoot ferrules for over a year and I feel like possibly the dumbest disabled person in the world for not getting one sooner. Like my Drive Nitro rollator, this is platinum level mobility equipment.It's so easy. Measure your walking stick width (without a ferrule); order that size; twist off your ferrule; twist off the foot; slide the boot on; twist the foot back on; lean on the stick until it "pops" into place; enjoy the feather light touch and iron grip of a Flexyfoot.Seriously, it grabs the ground from every angle! I barely have to lean on it, I'm not going anywhere! If someone says: "you're too young to need that", if I hit them with it, I'm going to give them a black eye! It's amazing!Seriously, if you're looking at this, you need it, just buy it, enjoy it and by way of gratitude, send me waves of healing and pain free nights.

Decades of using crutches has led to my hands becoming extremely painful, so much so that even holding my Kindle hurts. Thus, when I saw these ferrules and read reviews of them I thought I would give them a go in the hope that they would help me.Unfortunately, whilst I know they are great for many users, I'm afraid they were useless for me. To begin with we couldn't get the height of the crutches to be 'just right'. They were either just slightly too high or slightly too low - which led to extra pain. On top of that whilst I didn't have a problem walking with the ferrules indoors, once I went outside I felt very unstable due to the flexiness of the ferrules. It was very disappointing, especially as I know from research that these ferrules were designed for people like me who have to use crutches on a permanent basis.

This is the most fantastic advance in ferrules since I started being reliant on arm crutches many years ago. For the first time I can place the foot of my crutch more or less anywhere reasonably close and be sure that I can then put my full weight on it and it won't move. I can then move forward, or sideways and the crutch will swivel at an angle but stay put in place absolutely safely. I have never had such complete confidence in a mobility device before. I am 83 years old and weigh in at a hefty 220lbs so those flexifeet are doing a sterling job. My unreservered recommendations to Flexifoot.

Been using a stick for years & now got problems with my shoulder. Needed to adjust the height quite drastically on my stick as its quite big. I've put the 'washers' on (supplied) as I put my weight on the stick. It seems to work well with less shock going up my arm & will be getting another for my fold up stick. Looks like the tread will last a while & was easy to fit (all my sticks are height adjustable). Only downside is the bright orange 'spring' part- would be 5 stars if it was black (or grey) as it doesn't look too good with a fancy stick & seems to be more bulky than necessary (probably a good thing as should last longer)
