Flexyfoot Carbon Fibre Folding
Our verdict
The Flexyfoot Carbon Fibre is the lightest crutch here at 620 g and folds to 615 mm, but a pair costs £214.20 including VAT on Flexyfoot’s own shop and the limit is 130 kg.
Best for: travellers and part-time users who need crutches in a bag or overhead locker.
Not for: anyone over 130 kg, anyone needing a handle above 980 mm, and anyone on a budget. See also our folding crutches guide.
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.

Where the maker’s own documents disagree
We found no disagreement between Flexyfoot’s black and red product pages and the carbon fibre instructions on the 130 kg limit. The instructions state: “Flexyfoot guarantee this product for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase against faulty materials and workmanship.” Neither document says whether the cuff is open or closed.
Where these figures come from
We read the maker's documents for this product when we wrote Best Crutches UK: 7 Models Checked Against Their Makers’ Documents, where it is ranked number 5. The guide names each document and explains how the products were ranked.
Specifications are shown as the maker prints them in its own product page, leaflet or manual, read on the date given. Where a price is shown it names the seller and the date. We have not physically tested these products, and no maker or retailer can pay to be listed or placed higher. Not sure what suits you? An occupational therapist or your local wheelchair service can advise.
