After fracturing a bone in my foot and unable to put any weight on it for a few days, I ordered this set of crutches. They are light weight, but very sturdy. They can be adjusted to several different heights, which will accommodate most people. These also have "cuffs" that fit around your arms with handles to hold on to instead of like older versions that fit under a person's armpits. I found these alterations to be much more comfortable! And, I love the color!!
