Don’t let walking difficulties stop you from enjoying your current lifestyle. Our walking disability aids allow you to maintain your independence from grocery shopping to getting fresh air on countryside walks.
We also know that asking for help is scary, especially when you are not entirely sure what the best mobility aids or walking aids are going to be for you.
This is why, along with having a knowledgeable and friendly customer service team, we also have onboard with us an Occupational Therapist who can provide you with a consultation and provide you with their expert advice and guidance on daily living aids.
With so many different types of walking aids available, you want to make sure that you make a well-informed purchase. Here are some questions people have asked before buying a walking aid.
While you can get a free walking aid from the NHS, there may be a long waiting period for assessments and referrals. This delay can significantly impact individuals in need of timely mobility solutions, potentially causing discomfort or hindering daily activities. This is why it's best to shop for one online, for quick delivery and a wide range of options that are best suited to your needs.
If you are going to buy a mobility aid you are going to want a walking stick that improves your daily life and that will be long lasting.
For example, you may want to know if there are weight-bearing walking sticks or how to change the rubber ferrule (we have a guide on how to change a rubber ferrule here). Or you may want to compare a wheelchair or scooters mobility with another in the same product range.
So, we have put together a handy guide on how to choose the right walking stick that you can read here.
Take a look and then if you still have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to pick up the phone to talk to us.
Selecting the right walking aid depends on factors like mobility level, balance, and specific requirements. Canes are suitable for mild support, crutches for more stability, walkers for comprehensive support, rollators for added convenience, and knee scooters for non-weight bearing. Consider consulting with our experts to find the perfect fit.
Walking aids provide essential support, helping individuals with mobility challenges move around safely and independently. They assist in maintaining or regaining physical activity, reducing the risk of falls, and enhancing overall quality of life. Our range of walking aids is designed to cater to various needs, ensuring users experience the benefits first hand.
The cost of walking aids can vary depending on the type, features, and brand. Canes typically range from £20 to £100, crutches from £30 to £150, walkers from £50 to £300, rollators from £100 to £500, and knee scooters from £150 to £500. We offer a diverse range of options to fit different budgets and requirements.

All-terrain rollators have been designed for the bumps and lumps of outdoor activities. These mobility aids have cutting edge technology in their tyres, wheels, brake systems and steering components.
Here at Ability Superstore, we don’t think that all daily living aids need to be grey or beige. When you look at our range of walking aids, you will see that many of our mobility aids have contemporary designs that look classy, colourful and inviting.
Many of our rollators are portable and have a foldable frame that can be folded up and easily put back together again. The portable rollators retain all of the existing features and reliability of their non-folding counterparts.

When you ask someone to picture a shopping trolley mobility aid, they inevitably think of the clunky black square shape with a tartan panel and noisy, hard, wheels.
Well, once you take a look at our range of shopping trolleys we are sure that this picture will change dramatically!
After crutches and walking sticks, the next step up the mobility aids ladder is Zimmer frames. also known as a walking frame, Zimmer frames are another example of a simple design being the best life solution for a mobility aid.
You may think that there is one type of walking frame, the grey one you see in hospitals, so you may be surprised to see how much Zimmer frames choice there is in our online mobility shop! There are walking frames made to take more than the standard amount of weight-bearing that will provide extra support for bariatric users, folding walking frames that are easy to make portable in a matter of seconds, and colourful walking frames that have been specifically designed to be used by children.
For those that need more support, there are also walking frames with padded armrests to make walking more comfortable. If you choose the correct walking frame, it will help you to retain your independence and the frame will help you to enjoy daily tasks that have become painful and stressful.
The original walking aid, the walking stick is as popular and useful as it has always been. (If you are interested we have written an article about the history of the walking stick here).
Portability has been a key improvement in the world of mobility aids, and, crucially, not losing any quality when compared to products that don’t fold.
Folding walking sticks have been carefully designed to be easy to take apart and put together again, but still remaining as strong, sturdy and reliable as their non-folding counterparts.
Our range of folding walking sticks will easily fold up to fit in a bag or pocket, and we know it's easy because we try them out here.
