Usage
Shock-absorbing, anti-slip Flexyfoot is designed to replace the old fashioned ferrule and revolutionise walking aids. Flexyfoot gives improved
grip on all types of terrain and eases the aches and pains associated with constant stress and impact on joints. They are suitable for people of
all ages and levels of fitness.
1. Application
Fitting your first Flexyfoot:
Flexyfoot is consists of two separate parts to allow you to renew the foot section when worn or damaged without replacing the whole
Flexyfoot.
• If your walking aid is not adjustable, you might have to shorten it to correct the new length by taking into consideration the change of
the total length after you have fixed your Flexyfoot. Please check and consider carefully.
• Mark 22mm from the end of your stick, push the stick into the base until it reaches the mark and ensure it is a tight fit.
• Fit Flexyfoot by pushing the collar into the base, screw it until it clicks and is able to freely rotate in either direction without unscrewing.
When to fit a new Flexyfoot foot:
The Flexyfoot foot can be easily renewed without replacing the whole Flexyfoot. If the tread is worn down to the wear markers, the bellows or
foot become damaged or if the bellows loses too much spring, stop using immediately and replace the foot. In normal use, the bellows will
soften slightly after a short period of use and will compress over time by about 6 mm.
Full weight-bearing crutch users such as amputees or very active users, may find that Flexyfoot Extra provides greater long-term resistance. It
fits the standard collar and is available from your retailer or Flexyfoot.
Fitting a new Flexyfoot foot:
Remove the old foot by pulling the foot away from the collar and then unscrewing.
To fit the new foot screw into collar until it can freely rotate and then push the foot in
until it clicks home. Replace the collar if it becomes damaged, the fit to the aid becomes
loose or the foot cannot be properly fitted. The collar should be replaced with every third
replacement foot.
