Crutches and High Heels
Honestly, I had never given this situation a lot of thought until a woman recently wanted to buy a pair of custom titanium crutches. We were going through the measurements and she said: I had better get your aluminum alloy adjustable crutches because when I wear heels they can add and inch or two to my height.
Can you imagine how that would throw you off-walking with crutches that are a couple of inches short? I really don’t know how you ladies walk on crutches with heels but I commend you!
So, if you are thinking about ordering some custom crutches and you wear high heels on occasion-let’s talk before you order!

[…] sure if I have not been paying attention or what but there certainly are more women using crutches. Women on crutches bring their special insights to the industry. For example women demand and prefer lighter weight […]

For heel users I would suggest to order longer fixed-lenght crutches, and in most cases you can still use them also without heels or footwear at all, 2 or 3 inches more does not make a big deal in most cases unless you are, for example, overweight.
For longer distances underarm design looks more practical and sexy, and gives more opportunity to keep hands free if needed for some other activities.
