A lifesaver post surgery
Color: Black and Blue
I am giving this 5 stars because overall this has been a great solution after my ankle surgery. I had to be non-weight bearing for a minimum of 2 weeks, but even when I could put weight on my foot it was max 30min a day. This is far more convenient than a knee scooter as a knee scooter requires at least one hand on it to steer. I am also able to go up and down stairs (albeit slowly). I found going down stairs backwards is easier for me. The first week or so I brought a crutch with me just as additional support when I left the house. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m comfortable without it. I did make sure to fit it to my height and practice in it prior to my surgery. I do have some caveats. I am younger and was physically pretty fit prior to surgery. This, in my opinion, requires having good balance and strength in your legs. I also find my knee becomes tender after wearing this for a while. I don’t see it as being an all day solution for most people. The padding on the knee scooter I use is far more comfortable and kinder to my knee. Additionally, because of the way you have to walk, your hips fatigue from use too. Any sort of incline is also pretty hazardous. I don’t recommend using this on anything but a relatively flat surface. Overall, I’m still going to give it 5 stars as this makes it easy (as easy as it’s going to be after ankle surgery) for me to leave the house without help. I am able to be relatively independent whereas I don’t think I could do what I’ve done with a crutch or a knee scooter. I do need to remove it to sit or drive, but I’ve been able to very easily take it off, hop into the car and set it in the passenger seat. ... show more

Absolute Game Changer
I have a 2 week old broken heel and iWalk 2.0 has made it possible for me to be more independant and efficient. I wouldn't use regular crutches on stairs with good legs and feet! iWalk makes is easier to get up and down stairs buy being able to use the handrails. In open areas, it is simple to walk and carry items in your hands. The most revolutionary idea about this product is its ability to allow your hands to NOT be tied up in the process of walking. Crutches, knee scooters all require assistance for the leg injury AND using your hands, leaving one good leg - that gets tired quickly. The first time outside my house with it was 2 days after I received it. Very easy to put together and is lightweight. I was able to climb up and down the stairs on 3 stories of scaffolding and maneuver all around it. I was able to walk through all kinds of terrain, asphalt, grass, uneven turf, rock, dirt and cement with ease. People stare at me with amazement as if its the greatest thing they've ever seen. And it is. They ask me if I invented it, say its awesome, ask me where I got it and almost always says they know someone it might help. It will. (as long as you are capable of wearing it without affecting your injury) Yes, the knee pad is soft. Yes, it does admittedly take a bit of adjusting the belts to get them just right. (I'll add my tips in one section) Yes, you should wear looser fitting below the waist clothing. No, it doesn't affect your ability to conceal carry. Yes, it does take out your front pocket of pants or shorts as a storage area unless you want to unstrap the top strap to get to it. An extra layer of safety if you put cash in that pocket. Tips: You may have to adjust the height depending if your other foot is bare or if you have a flip flop, shoe or boot. All are acceptable to wear with it as long as you don't go over the suggested heights. I am 6'2" tall and have no problems. To adjust the height, you have to loosen the double handled bolt on the front, adjust the height then re-tighten. It moves in small increments to adjust. If you find yourself between height adjustments, I personally opt for the lower setting so I don't have to lift it as high over obstacles. The straps are a two belt system with covers on them to help pad the straps against your thigh and the back of your knee. Loosen the strap that has the grey clip on it to its longest length. Hook it, now adjust the other strap so that its just loose enough to put the clip on easily. Now, tight the strap with the grey clip to where its comfortable around your thigh, knee or cast. Take off the iWalk and layer up the handing strap inside the cover and adjust the covers accordingly. When taking off the iWalk, just loosen the strap with the grey clip by pulling up on the grey strap handler. If adjusted properly, it will be easy to strap, unstrap and have the covers stay in place for comfort easily. To help make it a bit more comfortable while sitting down, place the bottom of the iWalk on a coffee table or higher surface and your leg will hang instead of having pressure on it. Suggestions for iWalk 3.0 It is still a task to take on and off, if you get into and out of a car because once you sit, the bottom just points straight out. It would be even better if the "below the knee" support system could pivot down towards the foot while sitting making it possible to wear while in a car, sitting down at home or in a public place for say, lunch. If there are additional ways to keep the strength but lighten up overall weight and keep a good price point, that would also be fantastic. Additionally I have my foot surgery in 2 days and I can not wait to go to the Orthopedic Surgerons and have them see this. My durable medical goods advisor told me it would take a while to get and may not be approved even if they tried. I said "I can get it next day on Amazon Prime. Don't the State have Amazon Prime?" They didn't laugh. Hopefully iWalk can get in front of Orthopedic surgeons and they start prescribing them instead of crutches. I suggest going to the quick clinics like Patient First, Minute Clinic and places like that. If someone gets it there and gets referred to Ortho, the Ortho then sees it and hears good things about it. I am not a paid endorser for the product, I bought it myself with my own money instead of fighting for insurance to pay and I paid full price. This really has changed my lifestyle with an injury and I hope, if its compatible with your injury, that you give it a shot. Check out any of the YouTube videos about it. Thank you iWalk. ... show more

Makes everyday life so much easier
Color: Black and Blue
I didn't like this when I first got it, but after using it for 3 weeks, I have to say, I'm really glad I have it. I live alone. After my ankle injury and being non weight bearing, I was really struggling with doing everyday activities like cooking and laundry. It took about a week to get used to using this thing, but once I did, it gave me back my two hands and made everyday life SO much easier. One, make sure that your uninjured leg is strong enough and has good enough balance to support you. You won't have to put all your weight on the uninjured leg because the iWalk will be sharing some of the load, but your good leg will still have to do most of the work. Two, spend time at the beginning following the instructions and fitting it correctly. Also make sure that the grey buckles are accessible and positioned outside the sleeves. This will make taking the iWalk on and off a lot easier. I took off one star because it's a bit uncomfortable on my knee. I put down two knit beanies for extra padding. Your knee does get more used to it overtime, and your tolerance goes up, but it's still uncomfortable. I can't go too long in it, but it is perfect for cooking/chores. The iWalk videos show that you can sit down with this thing strapped on, and you can, but it's uncomfortable. The thing is too heavy to support like that for long periods of time, so I always have to take it off when I sit down or when I need to use the bathroom. This is a good product and it delivers on what it promises for the most part, but just know what to expect. ... show more

Everyone who meets the requirements, should use this
Color: Black and Blue
For context, I'm 61, 5'3", 150 pounds and dealing with an injury to my dominant leg, so my weaker leg is doing a lot of work. All of the positive reviews and stories of how this device changes lives are very much on target. Be sure you are able to balance yourself well enough and take it slow. Some of the videos from the company make it seem like you can just walk around in your normal gate, and I assume eventually I won't be hobbling so much, so carefully. I just got this fitted and started practicing yesterday, today I'm able to cook and get myself around with relative ease, carrying stuff and using both my arms. It's truly incredible. I have yet to test it outside of the house. I was also able to do one step down and up, into and out of one of my rooms. Cautions: I keep running my broken foot on the walls and corners behind me. (Ouch). Not a reason to not use this - just something to be aware of. There have been a couple of scary moments when I felt myself losing balance and had to instinctively look around for ways to break my fall and grab a counter or something. Once in the bathroom I did almost a complete 360 on my good leg as I went down but managed to land safely. I learned from that to be more sturdy when I put it back on. I wasn't leaning on anything when that happened. It's tempting to forget you're wearing it and just walk around like you're fine, that's how well it works - but extreme caution should be taken to stay balanced and aware that you have a major situation going on, at all times. Still, there is absolutely no comparison to using crutches, this is another thing entirely. The crutches were brutal on my armpits (definitely age-related), and they never felt safe for me, not even a little bit. For the first two days that I was injured, I felt myself tipping over one way or another with the crutches and fell right onto my bad foot a couple of times. (Triple ouch). I don't feel that way with this. The "stub toe" effect that happens is momentarily scary, so I use the top handle when walking. Lots of reviews say that the knee gets sore, that isn't happening for me at all so far, and the straps are also comfortable. Having to take it on and off to sit is unfortunate, but the payoff is definitely worth it. You'll need practice and if you're older like me, probably just also have to be slow and deliberate for a while. It's really changed my situation for the best, 100%. Yesterday my husband was fetching things and helping me do stuff all day, today I bothered him to grab a cushion for me because I was sitting already and didn't feel like going through the whole routine just for that. He's free now, and except for not being able to drive for a while, so am I. Update a week later: I fell twice, both times landed backwards, relatively safely on my butt- probably the least damaging place to land. With my bad leg bent up, protecting my ankle. Here’s what I learned- the first time I was alone and getting used to it and was grabbing the counters in the kitchen for additional support, but I grabbed a swivel bar stool and it turned, I lost balance and went down, chair and all. We were fine. The second time I had bent over a lot to do something on the ground, when I normally would have done this while holding something sturdy with my opposite hand. Blood rushed to my head so when I picked my upper body up, it was just enough disorientation to lose my balance. I landed on my butt, on my driveway this time. What is really going on is that there’s a tendency to treat the bent leg like dead weight. If you engage your hip and upper leg muscles instead the way you normally would, the crutch would play along and do the job of your lower leg. My bent leg could have saved me, but I was instinctively trying to use only my good leg to balance myself. When standing in one place while cooking, my good leg becomes exhausted. I have to remind myself to put equal weight on the crutch as if I’m standing on both normally. Then as I focus on the cooking, I go back to treating my bad leg like dead weight that my good leg has to support. Same with walking, the tendency for me is to keep my hips rested. It’s something I have to consciously focus on, like not grinding teeth while focusing. ... show more

I could walk down the aisle on my wedding day 🤍
Color: Black and Blue
I broke my foot 4 days before my wedding, I was told by my first doctor that I would not be able to walk on my foot, and this basically saved the day. The company was super understanding as well because I had originally ordered off their website directly, then saw the Amazon would deliver same day,and they let me cancel my first order with no hassle. The lady I talked to (Jennifer H) was also super sweet and wanted to help me in anyway possible. Also, the value for the money is great because mobility on my wedding day was worth so much to me and the reasonable price of this was something that I’m so grateful for. It took me a couple of days to get the hang of walking with it and to build stability, I got it like 3 days before my wedding, and was walking fine on it by the wedding. we ended up going on a honeymoon where i was able to walk on the beach and through towns and all over the place. Super thankful that I found this product. I couldn’t really sit down comfortably without propping it way up, or like run or do anything intense with it, but it’s effective at what it’s supposed to do. The gait was a little funky for me no matter how much I practiced but most people said they couldn't tell unless they knew I had it on. I had a super flowy dress on and it covered it pretty much entirely unless I pulled my dress up. Honestly, I just think it was a God sent gift for me because I was so sad to think I couldn’t walk on my wedding. it did leave some marks on my thighs but that could have been due to how I tightened it. ... show more

GREAT & YET NOT GREAT
Color: Black and Blue
It’s a great idea - and it does give you lots of ability to STAY INDEPENDENTLY MOBILE for LONG PERIODS OF TIME - meaning, it’s great if you need to clean the house (provided you are sturdy and well-balanced enough). No, you won’t be able to walk your pet on the street nor horse in the estable as shown here unless you have circus-level acrobatic dexterity. Just one tug forward on the leash from your pooch, and you’ll be flying into the ground face first. I’d say you can walk Fido if he is either a 5 pound a toy dog or a VERY well behaved average size dog that won’t tug. Else, you’ll likely be smashing face first into the ground. It doesn’t take a pet tugging on you for this to happen though. Occasionally, the rubber ‘foot’ at the bottom will get ‘stuck’ against the tile or, worse, carpet in your home and you’ll have many scares, so you have to walk slowly. No rushing with this. If you just need to get from the bed to the bathroom for a second to pee or brush your teeth, or to the kitchen for a quick snack, this may not be your best option. The mere act of strapping it on can be a mission not worth the effort and time to walk just a few steps. Working the straps is not the easiest thing when trying to put them on or take them off if you want to adjust them tight enough for it not to wobble on your leg as you walk and for you to stay stable and safe. Thus, yours hardly the most efficient way to walk from the bed to the toilet or a dining chair because you can’t in any way sit down while wearing it; and the hassle of putting it on and taking it off for just a few steps is not worth it. A walker or crutches would be way more practical in these scenarios. Now, lest not forgot the car - needles to say, if can’t even sit at home with it, you can’t even get it past the car door (it’s not intended to). Best you can do is put it on to walk to the car (especially if you need to carry things) but you also need to bring your crutches so that after you’ve manage to take it off and put it either in trunk or back seat, you have the trusty crutches to get you back into the driver door and back out again all the way to rear door or trunk to take it out and put it back on. The item has been made with quality in mind. It’s undeniably a quality product, yet the cushion, which one can tell has had a great deal of design and thought put into it, is still painful and far from perfect. Cushion has sections separated by ridges (guessing they were trying to accommodate most people), and an unnecessary LOGO relief that has been imprinted right where you’d bear all your body weight on the knee, and the ridges and logo eat away at your skin. The cushion, along with the release straps still need some more thoughtful redesign for less intrusion into the skin and achieve TRULY QUICK-RELEASING SNAPS that don’t require squeezing your leg to death in order to snap on/off. Ideally, a 4.0 version would have BETTER quick release snaps and would somehow either be fully collapsable for easier carrying and or to allow to at least momentarily sit at the toilet or dining chair for a quick snack without having to fully take it off only to realize you forgot your drink, and then your pills LOL. ... show more

Great for me - provides me independence
Color: Black and Blue
This has been a godsend for me. It allows me to be hands free and I can do housework, prepare meals, and walk unassisted. Comfort: this is the one area for improvement. The padding for the knee and thigh could be improved. My shin gets very sore when I use it - I have so add cushioning and even that doesn’t help a whole lot. Also the padding for the straps needs to be redesigned - especially behind the knee. Once again I have to supplement with other padding. Fit: I am a 5’10” male in good health. I had no trouble fitting it. After using it I did practice adjusting the length (some days it feels a bit short and other times a bit long). But that’s easy to do. I also had to experiment with the upper leg adjustment. But I was able to do it. Mobility: this is the greatest part. I can go up and down stairs (note that they suggest going backwards down the stairs and making sure you have a handrail - definitely a must). I have been able to walk extended distances unassisted. I have a well trained small dog and I walk her every day into town and back. As part of that I have to go down a hill and back up. That’s a challenge but doable. Balance: I have pretty good balance in general, so with practice I have been able to walk confidently. I suggest at first you have someone next to you or even hold their hand while you walk. It took a couple of days. This is where you HAVE to practice and hang in there. It’s easy to get discouraged and give up. But I realized with a five week recovery and no weight bearing it would be worth it and it is. Getting on and off: This is another thing that needs practice. I was determined to figure out how to do this quickly, and I now I can remove it less than 30 seconds and get it back in less than a minute. The most important thing I learned: when adjusting for fit make SURE the outer (shorter) blue strap is extended to its max. That is the one you will be using to tighten and remove. I eventually found it pretty easy to pull up on the grey latch and loosen it. Make sure you then release it all the way when you take it off. Now that I figured it out it’s amazing how easy it is. Overall: If you put your mind to it I think it can work for most people. I have seen reviews that people with bad knees or back issues have a problem. That’s understandable. But I walk about a half mile into town down a hill and back up with my dog every day. I even have been on the dance floor (see video - make sure no one hits your bended leg). I will say the thigh you rest on the device does get tired if you walk longer distances. But I can’t imagine how I would I function at home without this. Standing on one leg to wash or brush my teeth or trying to get some food is almost impossible without this. Overall I’d say give it a try and make sure you give it a few days to see how it works - practice makes perfect. And return it if you have an issue. I love it but nothing works for everyone. ... show more

The iWalk makes it easy to get around! Love it!!
Color: Black and Blue
I read a lot of the reviews on this item before purchasing. All the 5-Star reviews are right on target! I'm a 63 year old woman, 5'5", 130 lbs. I exercise regularly, including yoga. Climbing the stairs has never been an issue. Standing up with 1 leg from sitting on the floor is not an issue. So I consider myself relatively fit. (Although having issues with my feet, I am not a walker, hiker, or runner.) I have also come to realize after having foot surgery, that I never spent much time sitting. Prior to having my surgery, I purchased "Peg", as one reviewer lovingly referred to her iWalk! (which nickname I adopted for mine as well). The first few days after surgery, I just sat with my foot up, using a walker to get around when absolutely necessary. That got old quick! No pun intended. Then I got out my iWalk and went through all the videos on my iPad about how to set it up, adjust it, walk with it, etc. The YouTube videos are excellent. One reviewer said you couldn't pause the videos -- this is not the case -- the videos function just like most videos on the platform. Many times I paused, rewound 10 seconds, etc. Don't expect perfection the first time you set it up. It takes awhile to work the bugs out of all the adjustments, but once you've established the perfect fit all around, it's pretty much all set. Another review I read and even in one of the videos, it was recommended to add padding to the knee, so I purchased an additional kneepad replacement and just added it. Works fine and is very comfortable. The only thing about the iWalk that I don't love is the strap and pad that goes around the upper thigh. It's made for a thicker thigh, so the pad that encloses the excess strap and slide adjustment buckle goes from the buckle that stays attached to the thigh brace all the way to the buckle you use to strap it on and take it off. I am constantly trying to push this pad away from the inside of my thigh. I've also had to readjust this strap length a few times, probably because I'm frequently tugging at it. So I guess technically, I'm giving the iWalk 4.9999 Stars. I'd rather have this problem than having to rely on a knee scooter though. The bandage was a bit cumbersome in the iWalk, but doable. Much easier once the bandage was replaced with a cast. I brought my iWalk to the orthopedic office so they could see how to best make the cast. I had also read a review where it was mentioned to make sure you are fitted with a boot that has a side pump, instead of it being in the front, so I discussed this when I was getting my cast so that when I move into the boot, it would work with the iWalk too. Almost ready to move into a boot now, but I had to leave a review to say how thankful I am to have found the iWalk! I was searching Amazon for the knee scooter when I found it (I had never heard of it before - and although the physical therapist who taught me how to walk with crutches had heard of it, they didn't have one in their offices), and I am so glad I chose the iWalk over the scooter. I have access to all 3 floors of my home (which is great since my laundry room is in the basement and master bedroom/bathroom is on the top floor). I keep a tote bag with pockets handy and use it to carry things up and down the stairs. Getting around is really easy. I use a walker to get to/from the bathroom at night, but during the day, I use the iWalk -- only takes a few seconds on/off/on again. I don't have any problems getting around, preparing meals, or doing simple housekeeping chores. I'm able to change the sheets and do laundry. I would not tackle using the vacuum with the iWalk. (I have a central vac and getting around with a 30' hose is challenging enough with full balance on 2 feet!) But running around with the dustmop is easy, using a broom and bending down to use a dustpan is easy enough. I do not have a pet to walk, but would not take that risk with an iWalk unless your dog is very well trained. I find it easy to bend down, placing the iWalk behind me, to pick something up off the floor. It's winter in New England, and we have had a good bit of snow and ice. I have not ventured outside without the comfort and security of my husband by my side. One place we visited, we took the handicap ramp up -- walking that slope was challenging -- I chose to use the stairs when we left and found them much easier to use. It's also easy to get in and out of a vehicle. My husband puts my iWalk in the back seat and takes it out for me, but if I were to do it myself, I would simply grab the iWalk by the leg, and feed it over my lap, between the seats, and place it on the floor or back seat. It's light enough to pick up and easily maneuver with one arm/hand. The foot collects snow, salt and sand, so I take it off in the garage and clean the foot before coming inside. I highly recommend the iWalk! ... show more
