Much-needed comfort after my April 1 fibula break — lightweight, easy to install, and actually helps I broke my fibula on April 1 — yes, the irony was not lost on me — and quickly learned that crutches can be almost as frustrating as the injury itself. These underarm crutch pads made a noticeable difference within the first day. The pads arrived in great condition: clean, neatly packaged, no weird smell, and the stitching/edges looked well finished. They feel soft but not flimsy. The padding has enough cushion to take pressure off the underarm area without feeling bulky or unstable. **Weight:** These are very lightweight and don’t add any noticeable heaviness to the crutches. That matters when you’re already tired from getting around with one good leg. **Versatility/Fit:** I used them on in-Motion Pro crutches, and the fit was secure. The design seems forgiving enough that they should work on many standard crutches as long as the top pad area is similar in size. They wrap around easily and stay in place once attached. **Performance:** The biggest benefit is comfort. Before adding these, I was getting soreness and irritation under my arms after short trips around the house. These pads helped reduce that rubbing and pressure, especially when moving longer distances or standing around waiting. They don’t magically make crutches fun, but they definitely make them more tolerable. **Ease of Use:** Installation was simple and didn’t require tools or a struggle. I was able to put them on quickly, adjust them, and go. They also wipe off easily, which is helpful when using crutches indoors and outdoors. One small note: you still need to use crutches properly and support your weight through your hands, not jam everything into your armpits. But even with correct use, extra padding makes a big difference. Overall, these are a practical, affordable upgrade if you’re stuck on crutches for any amount of time. I wish I had put them on from day one.
Works good Made the crutches a lot more comfortable.
It is a great knowing that there are companies that still believe in customer service! I just finished placing an order the underarm crutch pads for my husband's crutches. They were able to get the order out today for delivery on Saturday. We were not charged extra for the rush delivery, wow! I couldn't ask for better customer service. Before purchasing medical equipment from Amazon, checkout this company. They stand behind their equipment.
Crutch pads Very nice, much better than having just the foam.
