Hear What Users Of The iWALK Have To Say

“So two weeks before a trip to Europe I break my calcaneus. The doctor gives me the horrible order to bear absolutely no weight on the heel and I couldn’t get a refund on the trip! This i-walk gave me my life back as i still traveled and best of all danced my heart out in Mykonos. I was able to hike to the acropolis with its 100+ steps and see volcanoes and many other sites. The only issues I really had was narrow steps that I embarrassingly had to turn around and tackle backwards. Over all I could NOT have done this with normal crutches and if you’re asking yourself the same question, abandon them, you NEED this!”

“I had a subtalar fusion and posterior tibial tendon repair after a car accident. I am a single mom of 2 children and also have a dog that requires attention. I’ve been in crutches before I had kids and they are a pain. A pain in the elbows, palms, wrists, and good leg. I am so lucky to have found the iWALK free 3.0. It has made my life easier while I’m recovering. I am a clutz and I can do it! The huge bruise on my arm is from falling while using regular crutches! I recommend 100%!”

“As a busy athlete and professional, I was pretty bummed to break my foot in a speedy marathon. Unlike former injuries where I struggled slowly on crutches for weeks on end, the iWALK allowed me to keep up my intense work schedule with so much more confidence and control. I can’t even imagine how hard life would have been without it. Such a crazy busy time.

It was a game changer for sure, and I couldn’t be more grateful.”

“My daughter Lindsay loves her iWALK3.0 and has used it since her Achilles tendon tear and surgery. Thank you for making an excellent product!”

“This has given me my life back, I cannot thank you all enough for making this!! After 5 months on crutches, this has been mind blowing. It works, anyone can do it!”

Yes, but you’ll need ample space in front of your chair for the beam below your knee to extend. If space is an issue, the iWALK crutch is designed to be easy and quick to put on and take off.

Can I use iWALK on wet surfaces?

The iWALK crutch features a Vibram tread, known for its excellent traction on both dry and wet surfaces. However, like any hard, wet surface, caution is needed as it can still be slippery. Always use common sense and exercise caution when navigating slippery surfaces to ensure safety.
