P**Y
It's a giant roller skate!
I have permanent injuries to my foot, so my intended use was for longer distances, to get some exercise. I found the RF too awkward and painful to use. However, I am overweight & haven't walked freely for over 4 years, so most people might find it easier. Therefore, I will comment on a few things that everyone might find useful:#1: the basic unit is 18" high, and it won't go any lower. I thought each model came with 2 inserts to adjust for user height, but really there's only one model. The second "model" is the same thing with 1 insert, and the third has 2 inserts. When I asked how tall my model was supposed to be (in case I had gotten the wrong one), "Rollerfoot" was bizarrely unwilling to confirm the height of their product, saying they didn't want to divulge design secrets. Dude, dimensions aren't design secrets. They're usually listed in the description of any item, from furniture to phones to forks.#2 The top of the RF is concave with a hard plastic rim around most of the edge, except the back where your shin hangs off. I had imagined that the top was flat, and that I would be able to add padding if needed, or place my knee off the front of the RF so as not to put too much pressure on it. But there's really only one place your knee can go. And maybe it's just because I'm too fat, but that rim really cut into the flesh of my shin. Extra padding can make the RF too high for your other leg, making you tiptoe & feel unstable.#3 The website has lots of cool videos! Some of them are in an odd place (the blog, IIRC), so it's not easy to search for or find them by specific issue. But there's a lot of information if you look, and the site answers emails pretty fast.#4 The return period if you buy through the RF site is very short, so I bought it here for the 30-day window. Renting is an option if you're only going to need it temporarily.It seems like the RF would be safer & more durable than traditional knee scooters, which can tip, and also have rods & other pieces that can bend, break, and fall off.
L**E
Hands free mobility !!!!
This gave me hands free mobility- like I wanted !You MUST be careful no matter how fit you are in slick floors like tile - works great on low pile carpet starting out.You HAVE to be mindful of your other ankle - it will bump it (and hurt) if not careful- use a slightly wide gate!
