Invacare 5-Inch Fixed Wheels with Rear Glide for Walkers - Mobility Aid for Seniors & Disabled - Ideal for Indoor & Outdoor Use on Smooth Surfaces

This might just be something common sense that I didn't take the time to consider when we purchased this item. We bought this item for my MIL who lives with us. Attaching the wheels and glides was a breeze - it took no time at all. What I discovered is that it made the walker quite a bit taller. Whereas she had the walker on the lowest possible setting in the front and back, I have now had to raise the back up 3 notches (sorry, I don't have an exact measurement) to compensate for the wheel height. It seems like it will still be OK but if you are like me and not considering this already let this be a warning. Otherwise the product works exactly like you would expect and seems like it will hold up well. I didn't notice any directions in or on the box about installing the wheels and glides but installation is basic and straight forward.These aren't actually made by Invacare; they're a knock-off made in China. I'm giving them 4 stars because that info isn't disclosed in the description, and the picture on the web site, which shows the ones made by Invacare, isn't exactly what you get. However, the ones made by Invacare at their site cost about $50, and these cost about $13. They're not quite as well made as those by Invacare, but they work well enough, they're compatible, and that's good enough, and the savings makes them worth it. The only issue, as I think someone else reported, is that the holes in the leg extensions that the little brass "buttons" snap into to hold them on aren't quite large enough for the buttons to snap all the way in. A few strokes with a round file in the holes to widen them just a little took care of that.We initially had difficulty with the wheels staying in their position on the walker but after making adjustment to make sure the holes were large enough the wheels have worked well.I ordered these for a walker my father-in-law had. It looked like these were interchangeable and I don't know what brand the walker was (whatever labels there were are gone). The little push buttons don't fit these holes - the holes are a little too small, and the tubes are too long to use the bottom holes (hit the cross member first). Wasn't enough money to return but close only counts in ...P.S. After modifying these wheels by cutting off the 'too long' tubes and drilling out the holes to fit the buttons, I mounted them and they are crooked. Obviously I cannot return now, or I would. And I don't think it is my doing. Nothing I did would change the alignment. Poorly made for sure.i like the product.These were bought for my sister in law after a car accident. I live in another state so don't know a lot about them personally.Walker easier to use with 5 inch wheelsWe like the wheels to be added to our walkers. They were so easy to install and it has been a great product for us!
