What spares should I buy with my smartCRUTCH® and how quickly will my rubber crutch tips wear out? (2025)

The MODULAR DESIGN of the smartCRUTCH™ means you will never be left wondering if you can ever obtain spares. From crutch grips, rubber tips to foam pads. Every single component of our forearm smartCRUTCHes are replaceable, and are stocked right here in the USA (with the exception of the colored cuff which is not sold separately).

For recovery of injury it’s very unlikely you’ll need to replace any parts from wear and tear, all the parts of the smartCRUTCH are made with durability of a permanent user in mind.

However if you are a permanent crutch user, wear and tear of parts will depend on a) your weight b) how much indoor versus outdoor use there is c) how much weight bearing there is.

Many users never need to replace any parts including the crutches rubber tips. However for very hard wearing users, the crutch rubber tips, foam pads in the cuff, and the handles (if the rubber wears down eventually) may need replacing after time. You can come back to the website at any time and buy these spare accessories as you need them.

If you are concerned you can always buy some spare accessories with your initial purchase, and for up to 3 spares we include this in the standard shipping price.

Great for someone tall (or with bigger hands)

Finally poles for someone taller. These things are great, super sturdy with grips that fit my hands.

Walking Tall

I love my new foldable walking poles. They are so convenient to use when out hiking. Recently brought them with me to the Berkshires; they made trekking through the snow so easy!

Love it!

It's really made my recovery easier (I broke my ankle) and I'm sure it will be useful for other mobility issues I have.

Good but not great

Don't get me wrong they're useful. They help the crutches stand up and be less likely to tip. But honestly thats all the praise I can give them. The main issue I have is that the to top magnets piece are not long enough to extend past the crutch cuff. This results in the magnets not being able to fully make contact SIGNIFICANTLY reducing their ability to stick together. The advertisements are more tame here on smart crutchs than geckos own site but you cannot carry one and support the other because without the magnets making that full contact they aren't strong enough to support the weight. Additionally (not smart crutches fault) the wrist straps gecko sells are not long enough to reach your wrists even on the smallest forearm setting, which I use. I use them every day, but I wish they were better.
