How to wash your Crutcheze® Products

Congratulations on purchasing the original, made in the USA, highest quality crutch 
and walker accessories. One of the best features of Crutcheze®is the products are 
completely washable. The padded covers are made so the foam is easily removed 
before washing. You can leave the foam in the padded set, but to maintain the 
integrity of the foam, it is recommended that you can either remove the foam or 
simply air dry the item after it is washed in the machine. Please make sure you secure 
all parts that have Velcro, so it does not stick to itself or other items in the machine. 
Another cool feature is that most of our solid colors are made with a material that is 
treated with an antibacterial solution that is good up to 50 washes. It helps protect 
against worsening any infections or carrying any bacterial while you rehab. You never 
know what you are exposed to in clinical settings. 
Crutcheze® Black Crutch Pad Covers- 2 padded underarms and 2 padded hand grips

Keep your Crutcheze®Pads fresh and new!

1.   Simply take item(s) off your mobility device
2.   (Recommended, but not necessary) Remove the foam from padded covers.
3.   Please attach all Velcro pieces to avoid snags. 
4.   Wash with normal laundry. Air dry if foam is still inserted.


   5.   Inserting the foam back into the washed fabric piece is simple: 

Crutch Pads- roll up the fabric piece and slide it over the foam (ex. Similar to putting a sock onto someone else)

What makes the BEST crutch pad foam?

There are a number of different options when buying comfort pads for crutches nowadays. Here’s a quick buying guide of what to look for.
1. The foam thickness: Pick a pad that is thick enough to offer real comfort. Hint: If you can still feel the rubber pad that came with the crutches under the foam comfort pad, they are not thick enough.

2. The foam shape: For a crutch comfort pad to provide maximum comfort, the foam should be contoured, or shaped to fit over the crutch pad. Some inexpensive crutch pads just use a square of foam that’s all the same thickness. Contoured foam is thicker on top of the pad to keep your arms comfortable, but thin on the sides do it doesn’t rub.
3. The quality of the foam: High-density polyethene foam
lasts longer, is latex free, and will keep you comfortable much longer than other varieties.
4. Country of origin: Pads made in the USA will generally be of much higher quality that copy-cat products like those sold by companies like Vive on Amazon. Companies like Vive sell inferior, Chinese-made products that are usually direct copies of top selling products. They sell them for less because they skimp on materials, which means less comfort. These companies manipulate reviews to make customers think their products are better than they are…..buyer beware.
The top crutch pad brands to look at are:
In summary, look for high quality, thick, contoured foam if you want to get the most comfort during your time on crutches. With crutch pads, you truly get what you pay for.
