Frequently Asked Questions

What size crutch or walking stick do I need?

Our crutches and walking sticks are fully decorated, so they cannot be altered once you've chosen your size so please measure carefully.   

All measurement options on each listing are the distance between the top of the crutch handle and the bottom of the ferrule.

The best method is to measure from the top of your current crutch or walking stick handle to the end of the stick and choose the closest option to this.

If you don't have a current stick or crutch to hand, follow the guide below.

How to measure handle height for your diamanté crutch or walking stick

  1. Hang your arm down by your side.
  2. Find the end of your ulna bone (the bone that sticks out by your wrist)
  3. Measure the distance from this bone (when your arm is down by your side) to the floor.
  4. Choose the measurement from the drop-down box that is closest to your calculation.  All measurement options on each listing are the distance between the top of the crutch handle and the bottom of the ferrule.

It may help to mark this on an object or wall and measure from the mark or get someone to assist you to make sure your measurement is as accurate as possible.

Important: If you are ordering your crutch for a particular event, please measure while wearing the shoes you intend to wear (or those of a similar height).  If you are wearing heels or shoes with chunky soles, this will affect the height of your crutch.
