Try durastilts mk 4 ones best I've used found then better than Marshalltown more comfortable on your legs only down side cost 300 quid

 

[thebigfella]

I've had some faithful ones for a about 4 years and they've been very faithful and easy to use

 

[martinmcconologue]

I have a pair of dura, think I will stick with them

 

[khew3955]

dura still are the best for comfort but the skywalkers are easy to adjust to setting and in my opionion,are the steadiest

Unless your really thick, as it says, he is asking which type of stilts are the best, seems easy to understand to me.

I've used the old and new skywalkers, gotta say the new ones (with plastic bindings rather than straps) are comfortable.. and so much easier to walk in. I think it's the little suspension spring on the foot. They're 300sovs but managed to get mine on eBay brand new in the box for 200 2years ago.

Sorry mate I thought the new ones were terrible the bindings are good but I couldn't get on with the spring it all felt too stiff

 

[stuart23]

I bought a set off ebay years ago but found both my feet were hurting trying to keep my balance on them, never worn or tried any again.

 

[Jace]

tried my mates 2's and hated them felt very unstable on them because of the spring being too stiff just no flex in them, although the bindings were much better

 

[lilharbs]

Got the 2's,love em.can see the stiffness in the spring issue but still love em.

 

[Jace]

have you had the 1's?

 

[lilharbs]

No mate,the 2's were my first venture into stilt land.

 

[Jace]

if you get the chance try some mate just to compare the 2, i have the ones and have tried the 2s and appart from the leg straps on the 2s being more comfy i just found the ones more sturdy, i had mine on my highest setting the other day:-0 bit un-nerving but wernt to bad in the end
