I don't know if that is accurate as I donated the crutches when I no longer needed them. I do know they were heavier than my old regular crutches. It wasn't a problem for me as I only used these folding crutches when I needed to travel. **Q: what keeps them together when folded?** A: Nothing. They fold but don't stay flat. I made an elastic band with Velcro on the ends to keep them together. You could just tie anything around them a well. There is an elastic chord attaching the pieces of crutches together. There is some tension on the elastic when the crutches are folded but that also makes it easy to realign to walking length. That's why they need something to hold them into the folded position. My husband has been an amputee for many years and these crutches have been so helpful for traveling. They fit in our suitcase. **Q: What are the approximate dimensions when folded?** A: I think about 2 ft approx. They came in really handy when traveling. **Q: Does the crutch come with sizing instructions** A: Hello, these crutches are adjustable for users height from 4’11” to 6’4”. The packaging shows how to adjust but does not indicate exact sizing as everyone is built slightly different. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Helpful , but not so good *by S***H on 12 October 2018* Note bad ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not worth of money *by S***L on 28 December 2018* It slightly weighs more compared to other crutches. The bush could not withstand more than a month in the rough surface. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality and price... Cheaper here than using medical insurance *by G***E on 11 December 2025* I have had these for 4 1/2 years. I use them almost everyday. I have a used them on a wide variety of terrains with success. They are lightweight but sturdy! The folding design is easily used and helps when traveling. The only wear and tear are the pads but I only recently replaced them so in my opinion they are durable. It was much cheaper and higher quality than what my medical insurance would cover. I have recommended them to me y medical specialist providers with great confidence ## Frequently Bought Together - Carex Folding Aluminum Under Arm Crutches - Lightweight Crutches for Adults 4'11" to 6'1", Adult Crutches, 2 Crutches Included, Universal Crutches for Walking - Vive Premium Crutch Pads & Hand Grips - Comfortable, Breathable, Machine Washable Padding - Moisture Wicking & Odor Reducing Pillow Accessory Covers for Adult & Youth Walking Crutches - United Ortho Short Air Cam Walker Fracture Boot, Small, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/341521038-carex-health-brands-folding-crutches-5-lbs](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/341521038-carex-health-brands-folding-crutches-5-lbs) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
