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

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.

The only thing better than this is a survival cane . Besides being able to keep you upright , it can act as an equalizer . It's not the heavy wooden cane of our fore fathers but it works . It's light weight as well as wife approved .

I liked the cane because it is shaped like a walking stick and not a walking cane. It makes you walk more upright. It was easy to move it up and down. It was easy to take apart and place in suitcase. I liked the self standing part of the cane. Which helps when there is no hand rail when walking down or up stairs. The handle was a unique design and it was comfortable BUT The only issue is that the handle is a hard plastic and after walking I started getting getting a blister on my thumb. I would like it to have a cushioned grip like walking sticks. A friend told me to try hockey tape and see if that works.

The best cane which acts as a walking stick to help keep you upright, not bent over like other canes. My sister bought one for me, and I bought one for my other sister. I get asked about it when I'm outsude using it. I had one person take a picture of it so she could look it up later to buy for her mother.

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.

Does not stand upright alone.Falls over. The cane itself seems ok but upset that I cannot have it standing. Have to have it leaning on something

I can attest to the better posture aspect of this cane. My wife is trying to get a powered wheel chair because she struggles to walk. We replaced her old cane with this one because this one is longer and she absolutely loves it and uses this when I cant push her manual chair. (My wife is blind and cannot use her blind cane and manual wheel chair at the same time so when she has to go out with out me unfortunately she has to try to walk the short distances that she preplans out. ) She says she can walk those same short distances more easily when she uses this cane and she says she doesnt worry about falling over as much when she is using this cane. She says she has corrected her balance many times while using this cane and the cane is fantastic in helping her adjust her balance so she doesnt fall over. She loves how grippy the base tip is. "And it's purple too!" I can attest to the fact that is it VERY purple and the color is very bright and "lovely" as my wife added. She says that the grip style can feel a little akward at first but once you get used to this style of grip youll realize you havent dropped it since buying it AND that you are standing more upright. She says she deffinately notices that this style cane does help her stand far more upright than when she was using her other cane " and its not JUST because its longer but more helpful because of the grip style.
