Flexyfoot Crutch Ferrule

For anybody using crutches/walking sticks long or short term these are an absolute god send. As someone who has used them for 16 years I only wish I had found them sooner. I often cover large distances walking and the shock from the impact on regular ferrules can often take it's toll on your shoulders and wrist. I honestly feel like these remove at least 80% of that impact shock and also give you a slight boost as they decompress like a spring when you push back off. It feels strange after using them for so long to not have this feeling and also the grip is exceptional. The fact it remains stable and flat no matter what angle you are at helps a great deal, if you hop and almost swing as I do. As when you are at certain angel a regular ferrule only makes minimal surface contact with the ground and slips easy especially in wet conditions. I would highly recommend these to anyone. I've been using them a week and i've covered miles and there is hardly any wear on the bottom whatsoever. A great invention and idea! For anyone using a walking aid long term, these will save your joints a lot of stress in the long run.

These were really easy to fit - I ordered the wrong size to begin with, the 22mm size are the ones that fit standard NHS crutches! I've been using them for a few days, while I'm non-weight bearing on one leg recovering from ankle surgery. I feel much more stable already and much less like I'm going to slip on wet tiles as the whole foot makes contact with the floor. They also seem pretty good for shock absorption so less harsh on the hands. Highly recommended!

I bought this product on the basis of reading the positive the reviews left by previous customers. I have fibromyalgia - so muscle weakness, stiffness and fatigue are things I have to deal with everyday, and make me reliant on using a walking stick both outdoors and when needed - indoors. Like others have said I feel a lot safer now this new ferrule has been installed as my stick in always in contact with the floor and my arm hurts less as my stick is not hitting the ground so hard now. I have noticed that since using this ferrule my walking stick doesn't make as much noise as before. Overall, I am very happy with this product, but I did find that I needed another pair of hands to assist in order to follow the instructions that came with this product, as I didn't have the required strength to pull the two sections apart. I think this product is definitely worth giving a go to see if it makes a difference for you as it has helped me. 👏 Edit: I bought this product again for my crutch and the "foot" and "collar" came already separated but without instructions (good thing I purchased this before and kept my previous instructions). I would still 100% recommend the flexyfoot and wish I had found it years ago.

I have used these everyday since I got them, they are good and adjust to any service, but sometimes in wet conditions they can and will slip, even on a wet shop floor if someone has mopped or split something!

These are simply a total must for crutch users. Unfortunately I recently underwent surgery and have been left paralysed in one leg. As many of you will testify, the NHS crutches are basic and dare I say it, uncomfortable to use. After a lot of research on here, I opted to buy a pair of carbon collapsable crutches and these at the same time. The difference is night and day. It makes any assisted journey far less impactive on the body. I'd never go back to my NHS crutches nor go without these feet.

Flexyfoot Shock Absorbing Crutch Ferrules. I have been using walking sticks for over 20 years and have tried various ferrules, all much cheaper than these. The problem I had was they all would slip a little on wet surfaces and I would struggle to stay upright. The cost of these stopped me from trying them before, but I am finding it harder to stay upright in wet conditions, so I finally decided to risk the extra cost. I am really pleased I did. I immediately could feel they were gripping surfaces better than any of my previous ferrules. They also cushion the sticks better than any other ferrules I have used and that makes them more comfortable to use. The makers claim they are more hard wearing than normal ferrules and after using them for a few months I agree as I can see they are showing little sign of wearing down. Despite the huge extra cost, I will be buying these at some point in the future when they eventually need replacing as I cannot imagine going back to less secure ferrules.

C'est incroyable, je ne savais pas que ça existait mais si j'avais su, j'en aurait utilisé plus tôt ! Je ne glisse plus par terre et les appuies sont plus doux. Facilement changeable, il suffit de racheter juste les embouts.

Die Dinger sind echt Klasse ... man rutscht nicht mehr weg und läuft ganz soft durch die Gegend :-)

Brilliant and so much more stable. Great purchase.

ottimi x chi usa molto le stampelle rispetto i gommini tradizionali, che vanno cambiati sovente (se si usa molto le stampelle) questi essendo snodati appoggiano sempre pari e non si consumano! ottimi e attutiscono anche leggermente i colpi

Facilite le déplacement avec une canne, permet qu’elle soit inclinée tout en restant en contact avec le sol de façon sécuritaire et ajoute un léger amortissement bien apprécié.
