| Brand | Ossenberg | Flexyfoot |
| Our verdict | The Ossenberg Classic weighs 650 g and takes 140 kg, but it is single adjustable with a fixed 23 cm cuff, even though its UK page talks about positioning the cuffs. | The Flexyfoot Soft Grip reaches a 1092 mm handle height, the highest here, but its 130 kg limit is the joint lowest and neither of its documents states a warranty. |
| Best for | people who want to let go of a crutch quickly, or who use crutches on and off for years and like a light one. | tall users, and people whose wrists or shoulders object to the jolt of a plain rubber ferrule. |
| Not for | people with long or short forearms who need the cuff moved, and anyone taller than a 96 cm handle height suits. | anyone over 130 kg, or anyone short: the lowest handle setting is 787 mm. |
