Flexyfoot Shock Absorbing Walking Stick Ferrule – Choice of Sizes & Colours Available Here – Improves Grip, Improves Safety, Reduces Slips, Reduces Shock – 19mm Grey

Brilliant. I ordered the wrong size initially (my fault, I didn't measure properly). I ordered the correct size, and even though I placed my order on a Sunday, the new ferrules arrived the next day. It was also extremely easy to send back the wrong ones - just printed off a label and put them back in the box.The Flexyfoots (Flexyfeet?!) were very easy to fit to my crutches, and make a noticeable difference to my comfort when using them. They have reduced shoulder, neck, wrist and hand fatigue and are very comfortable. I also feel a bit safer, as all of the ferrule is in contact with the ground, increasing traction and reducing the chance of slipping.Not exactly cheap (I think a little over priced for what they are) but a good investment. Highly recommended.

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)

These are so much better and safer to use than any other rubber feet I’ve found!The fact that the foot has, at nearly all times, its entire base touching the ground making slipping so much less likely and the ability to walk on less level ground!!So for ANYONE you know that needs a stick to live should have one of these at the end of their stick! It also makes the shock of the stick and the ground and makes it’s a much softer a walk!But also, I’m 6’3” so every stick is just too small. I have searched for ages for a stick long enough, until I searched for a stick extension and came across this which then made “normal” sized has an extra inch or so at the end of the stick making many sticks more available.Ps, I’m not getting paid for this review, but I honestly think everyone that relies on a stick should have one of these! As they’ve literally made my life so much… easier, and safer from slipping, than anything I’ve used before!!

Both my crutches now have these shock absorbing Flexyfoot Ferrules and they have made a wonderful difference when I go for my walks. My wrists and shoulders have been far less painful since using these...they really do take up a lot of the shock giving me great relief. My hubby managed to fit them which was not as easy as I would have hoped! I certainly would not have been able to fit them. Yes they are quite pricey but ongoing I will only have to buy the inserts so not so expensive going forward. How long it'll be before needing replacement inserts is anyones guess...hopefully quite a while. Good product, great decision to buy them.

I've used crutches since I was 17 following a spinal injury from rugby. I'm a big guy 6'3" and about 16 stone and would classify myself as a very active user, having broken a few pairs over the years.This 'active' use has also meant a few falls over the years, most of which were cause by a lack of grip and crutches heading in opposite directions, especially in the wet.I wish the Flexyfoot had been invented 25 years ago, or at least that I'd discovered them sooner as they would definitely have saved me a few bruises over the years.The shock absorbing effect really takes some pressure off wrist and elbows, and the way the flex keeps the foot flat on the floor, really does generate a lot more grip.They may seem expensive but they seem well made and I think that the flex and rotation of the foot will make them last far longer than normal rubber feet, plus at the end of the day, I value my safety!Highly recommended.

This device is generally well reviewed and I'm not going to argue with that but what I am going to point out is that to fit the device and keep your stick at the same length you need to cut 2 inches or 50mm off your stick.When you order you need to specify the size you require. If, like me, your stick narrows towards the bottom, the diameter of the stick may not be the same when you remove 2 inches/50mm from the bottom.The other consideration concerns your feelings towards your stick. If it was expensive or has sentimental value you may wish to consider buying a very cheap stick to test the device first.Beware. If it doesn't fit and you want to return it the seller will charge £2.73.

I have used these ferrules on my stick(s) for a number of years particularly when walking in wet and potentially slippery environments such as swimming pool surrounds, spas and shiny wet surfaces. They are also very good in general use providing improved grip and user comfort when compared to standard ferrules. Highly recommended.
