Best Crutch Pads of 2025

“When I first tried the top crutch pads, I followed online videos. They were more comfortable than the original pads, but I had an issue with them rolling around, making my crutches a bit unstable. I fixed this by pulling the sides of the Vive pads over the top, revealing an inner sleeve. After removing the crutch top rubber and inserting it into this sleeve, I secured it with Velcro tabs. Once done, the Vive pads stayed in place, making them much safer and more comfortable to use. I hope this helps others.”

“I found the Hugo Medium Adult Crutches to provide a great blend of comfort and stability. The adjustable height settings were perfect for my needs, ensuring optimal support and reducing strain on my arms. The ergonomic handles felt secure and minimized discomfort, even during long use. The lightweight aluminum construction made them easy to maneuver, and the non-slip rubber tips offered excellent traction, which I appreciated both indoors and outdoors.”
