What's So Special About the Flexyfoot Ferrule?
Unlike standard ferrules found on standard crutches, the Flexyfoot crutches feature unique, shock-absorbing ferrules that provide outstanding grip and shock protection. The Flexyfoot ferrule bends to absorb the impacts as your crutches hit the ground, stopping painful vibrations from straining the body.

How Much Grip Does the Flexyfoot Ferrule Provide?
In addition to its shock-absorbing abilities, the Flexyfoot Ferrule also provides incredible foot tread with up to 50% more grip than a typical ferrule. This hardwearing ferrule stays in full contact with the ground at all times, ensuring maximum traction and safety as you move.
Where Can I Buy Replacement Ferrules?
If you're using the Flexyfoot Crutch over a period of months or even years, the ferrule tread can start to wear away and lose its integrity. Once the wear markers located inside the tread on the outer ring (shown below) have worn away, it's time to get a replacement.
Can I Adjust the Height?
To make sure each crutch fits ergonomically, they can be adjusted to match the exact height of the user. The crutch is double adjustable both above and below the handle, allowing you to precisely tailor the fit to meet your exact needs and preferences.
Soft Grip Handle with Finger Indentations
The handle of this Flexyfoot Crutch is made with soft materials, and is shaped with anatomic finger indentations for your hand to sit comfortably in. This eases the pressure on your hands and feels nice and smooth for the skin, ensuring the crutch remains comfy throughout the day.
What's the Benefit of an Open Cuff?
Most hospital crutches come with a closed cuff design that boxes in your arms, making it awkward for you to reach out to grab things. The open cuff gives you free reign to move your arms without them getting caught in the crutch, while still providing the necessary support to keep you steady and stable.
Can I Buy a Pair of Crutches?
Please note that this purchase is for a single ambidextrous crutch that can be used with either arm. If you wish to buy this crutch as a pair, follow the link below:
