Walking Cane Foldable for Men & Women Seniors for Balance,Self Standing Folding Cane,Height Adjustable Anti-Slip Lightweight Alloy Walking Stick Collapsable for Travel Mobility Aid

This is a great cane. Light weight and easy to use. The bottom grips well and allows the cane to stand by itself. The material is durable. The appearance is appealing.

This cane will help you walk in a more upright position. It is easy to put together and will be better for your wrist and arm from a regular cane. This tall cane arrived quickly from Amazon. The height should come up to your elbow and will have several height positions. The tip appears to be very strong. The price is very reasonable. I recommend this very nice walking stick.

I'm debating about whether I love this cane or just like it a bit. It does make me stand straight when I walk, which I love! However, the handle is not that comfortable to hold and use. My hand tends to slide down the curve making the cane feel less stable. I think I might have to try some grip tape around the handle, though I'm not the neatest at wrapping tape around curved handles. I hate for it to look like a kid wrapped the handle. I wish the manufacturer would add a better gripping handle (one that doesn't feel sticky though). I do like that the cane stands up on its own, but being so tall it does tip over very easily. It was very easy to put together and does seem sturdy enough overall. This works much like the European walking sticks that look like ski poles but are made for walking. A neighbor of mine got a pair of those from her relatives somewhere in Europe. The curved handles are the major difference in this one and hers were sold as a pair. She told me her set has been used in Europe for many years. I guess it takes us a lot longer to accept different innovations. Glad to see at least a one-pole version here!

Very nice Walking Cane, highly recommed. I used to slouch over with a 'normal' cane. This cane keeps me straighter and I walk with a better stance. I would lean on the 'L' shaped canes, making me crocked. I like how this handle is shaped, it fits my had well. It gives you multiple ways to hold the stick. I tried a straight hiking stick but that hurt my wrist. This one does not hurt and feels great. I do think they should also included a 'normal' cane tip with this one. I appreciate the standing cane tip it comes with but I prefer a normal tip. Not a problem, they can be ordered very reasonably here on Amazon (3/4 inch rubber cane tips).

I bought this out of curiosity. I carry a walking stick when i walk to help with balance, but it is a pain in the butt putting it down anywhere, so first it was the standalone feature that appealed to me. The handle looked intriguing, though I was not sure how much weight it could take off your feet with the thing held in front of you rather than like a cane, under so you could lean down into it. But this was inexpensive so I thought I would give it a try. Though there are no instructions it was easy to assemble and would easily break down to fit in a suitcase. It feels VERY solid. The height adjustment has a good range. And the handle!!! I don't pretend to understand the mechanics of it, but I am able to take a lot more weight off my feet with this than a regular cane, and with far less strain on my arm. What a wonderful tool! It does stand up by itself, though you need to make sure it is balanced right and not moving. And the purple color is gorgeous. I can't recommend this enough for someone who needs to ease some weight off his feet but hates using canes. Oh, and for anyone who has not used a full length walking stick before, they go down stairs MUCH better than a short cane.

This is the safest cane/walking stick I have ever used. I adore the way the handle gives me alternate (and safe) grips for ascending and descending stairs and slopes. I'm even able to carry groceries up flights of stairs now that previously pulled me off balance so badly I had to split the load into 3 or 4 trips, now, just 1 load safely. Mentally, I'm still rather young and a traditional cane sometimes makes me feel depressed. This walking cane takes me back to my pre-injury days of hiking. It gives me a feeling of being whole again (even though I'm not). And when I've been at the VA for appts, I've had 2-3 people ask me about it each trip. Many people also like the look and feel of activity and health. As for posture, the ability to move your hand around to fit the ground you're traversing allows you to match the cane to the ground, not you to the ground like traditional canes. No more hunching to reach the ground when going down a slope or stairs, or when traversing uneven ground. No more hunching or straining your arm when wearing different pairs of shoes from day to day, just let your hand fall naturally on the grip. The handle was rather slick though so I wrapped it in some kinestheology tape (OK tape) for a better grip. I am still trying to find the correct tip for me. The included tip trips me up a bit too often. I believe I will likely end up with the "ergocap" tip but that can slip on wet brick so I'm not entirely sure yet. I would suggest getting the cane holder that is a soft foam wire. You wrap it around the cane and make a hook out of one end to fit whatever you need to hang it on. 3 to a pack, work great and keep their shape, don't slide down the cane. Very adjustable. Can fit wherever you need it to fit. 5 out of 5 for the came out of the box.

Hard for me to grip the handle with my old hands. Does help posture, but will have to find something to help with the grip.

Best type of cane I ever had and I've been using them for years. Keeps me in a correct posture which eases shoulder pain and back pain while walking.

Product is as promised,satisfied with the purchase

So the thing is that most walking sticks are palm down. If you take that into context, then you probably will find this a different approach. That way you are not tilting to one side as much as you would do in a normal cane. This, however, solely depends on your balance, gait etc.
