Has anyone else had one of these? I bought one in anticipation of having surgery on my foot. The last time I had surgery on this foot I was on crutches for six months and I hated them.

I saw this online and figured it was worth a try. I assembled it and followed the instructions for fitting, but I'm having a terrible time getting used to it. On the website httphttps://iwalk-free.com/ people claim to have gotten used to it in fifteen minutes.

I'm wondering if I don't have it fitted correctly.

If anyone has had a positive experience with an iWalk I would appreciate some help.

I have read reviews where some people said it didn't work for them and they returned it. I will do that if I absolutely can't get it to work, but I really want to give it my best shot as my experience with crutches was horrible.

Youtube has many videos about the crutch and how to use it. Usually a lot of useful information on their videos. Maybe watching will help.

Thanks. Actually, the company has been very responsive to my questions. They have even asked me to send photos and videos of me walking with the crutch. I have done this and am waiting for a response.

If that fails they have advised me that there is a fitting specialist in Mount Dora. She will probably charge since I didn't buy it there, but if I can get it to work, it will be worth it.
