Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I used the sheepskin also. They were a big help on both the crutches and on the walker. I did use them both on and off for many weeks. What also was a big BIG help were a pair of gloves (the kind serious bikers use) that had gel padding in the soft middle of the hand. These were the absolute BEST....as my hands hurt more then my hip! I had often seen people in wheelchairs use these same type of gloves.
