coloured crutches

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction please?

I want some colured crutches with full cuffs and shaped handles, as cheap as possible - but obv good quality
If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!

    The closest thing that I've seen so far is this which is a childs crutch

    It needs to have comfy handles (the shaped left and right ones) and I'd prefer no grey at all.

  • I got mine from a local disabiliy aids place. They were about £20 I think and are so comfortable to use.
    There were loads of colours to chose from. Would somewhere like DIAL be able to help you track down suppliers?
    p.s. Don't forget to state that you need them for medical reasons and not pay the VAT.

    I know I've seen pinky/purple ones. So they are most definitely out there!

  • I have some blue one's. got them from Yourable.com/shop, I think they were about £10 with postage,
  • My parents found some for me. They are red. They cost £40 for the pair at my local mobility shop with the shaped handels and full cuffs. I was really greatful for them as I need them to get to school and hated the thought of a boring grey pair!
