I like the broad foot but I wonder how adaptable it is to wet, snowy, icy conditions? traditional crutches have attachments that grip onto the ice. That said, your foot design looks more sturdy on dry/indoor surfaces. Great design, I can see so many improvements from the traditional set I use. I don't know how many times my crutches slide from their perch against the counter while I sit to eat, aiming to take out some unwitting bystander! with your design, I could just collapse them and put them aside with the sound knowledge they won't slide down to smack or trip some poor soul walkin' by! hope you find your funding! there will be a line-up waiting for your invention!! Cheers! Wow, these are just what I need right now! 2nd knee surgery has me on crutches during the winter.

They are only a concept, but perhaps I can find some funding. I designed them for everyone and discovered the need when watching people use them on planes, when getting into cars, and in other situations. Plus one size fits all. Glad to see the link here. If I do find funding I will get in touch! Best, Jonathan C Smith Hello Vincent,

Good luck, hopefully you can track these down or find something similar. Hey Vin- here’s the designer’s page-http://www.jonathancsmith.com/
