The budget underarm pick. You get push-button adjustment and decent tips for the lowest price in the lineup. Fine for a few weeks of recovery; step up to the Vive or a premium pick if comfort over months matters.
- Among the cheapest sturdy push-button pairs
- Cushioned underarm pads and washable sponge grips
- Contoured tips with a curved stair deflector
- Backed by Drive DeVilbiss (Hugo is their consumer line)
- Underarm padding is thin for long-term use
- Grips can loosen and need re-tightening
Our review
Hugo is Drive DeVilbiss's consumer brand, and these crutches deliver the essentials for the lowest price in our lineup: dual push-button adjustment, cushioned underarm pads, washable sponge grips, and contoured tips with a stair deflector. The frame is anodized aluminum rated to 300 lb.
The compromises are predictable at this price. The padding is thin for long-term use and the grips can work loose and need re-tightening. For a short recovery where you mainly need a reliable, inexpensive pair, that is an easy trade.
Who it’s for
Budget-conscious buyers who want push-button adjustment and a known brand for the least money.
Who should skip it
Anyone facing months on crutches who would feel the thin padding.
Bottom line: The best value: real push-button crutches from a major brand at the lowest price.
