Strong and beautiful
I was so looking forward to getting my new walking stick and when I did I wasn't disappointed.The colour and pattern of it is beautiful, I know that isn't the most important thing but I am a girl. Anyway the weight of it in hand is reassuring. It feels strong and steady. The handle is really comfortable to hold and is also a lovely colour 🙂 The tip on the bottom is nice and rubbery, it's a good size and gives me confidence in using it on any ground service. I am 5ft 3inch and I have it set to the longest extension, I bought the smaller size.Overall I am really happy with my purchase. I have bought a few walking sticks over the years and this one is my favourite.

Great value attractive and sturdy stick
I bought this as a spare to match an identical one which I acquired a while ago should I require two sticks to help with my walking outside the home. I bought my first stick from a shop selling mobility products and it was a lot more expensive. The stick is light and attractive and most importantly sturdy. Unlike some sticks, this comes with a wrist attachment which is handy. It is height adjustable and folds and can be stored easily when travelling. My balance is not good and I use the stick daily when out. I have used my first stick for over three years and I expect these sticks will be long lasting.

Brilliant in use and storage
Very pleased with this item which is as described. Good they sell in three different lengths and give exact lengths that you can achieve with each one. Being a shortie I chose this shortest version. Very adjustable (you set it on shortest setting to fold up) and it folds and reassembles easily.The plastic thing you slide on to keep it all in place while folded is a good idea, and the see-through soft plastic case keeps it from getting scratched while in your bag. It does not make that annoying metallic noise in use like the ones you get from the hospital. So pleased with this,( I have returned the hospital issued one for someone else to use). Fits in my backpack or bag easily. Sturdy but jolly as it has a cheerful design! Handle length is all right for me but maybe if you have large hands you might want a slightly longer handle like a Derby style?

Really pleased.
I got this for a friend who is an older lady who has trouble with her shoulders and uses the walking stick when walking her dog. She finds it gives her the confidence she needs, especially on wet ground. She loves how small the stick folds away, she can store it in her handbag until needed.The only problem she found is that one of the notches is a bit stiff as is one fo the foldable joints. It takes her a while to assemble it. Like this will come easier with time. In part that is to do with age and a lack of strength, but when I also tried, I found I needed to use a fair bit of strength too.Once assembled, the stick is sturdy and does it's job.Very pleased.

As good as one three times the price
I had knee surgery earlier this year. I bought a folding walking stick on amazon which was fine but expensive - three times the price of this.I wanted another couple of folding sticks, one for each car, can opted for something cheaper. And found these are exactly the same as the earlier one I bought at three times the price. Exactly. Probably made on same production line.In use no difference to more expense folding stick. Does the job, helps me along when I am a bit wobbly.Compared to the more expensive product I bought, which has a drawstring nylon bag and a tie strap, these fold better with a rigid clip and a folding shaped case.No need to pay more. These do the job.

Easy to fold and pretty to look at
I have several walking aids, but folding walking sticks are my favourite for their convenience. This cane has been my favourite of several. It is light weight, durable, and a very attractive design. It's not too colourful for formal occassions, but pretty enough that I don't feel dull and boring using it every day. My favourite thing about this stick is how easily it folds. I have a nightmare folding down some other sticks into my hand bag, I can never get the joints apart. I find switchsticks particularly bad for this, even though they sell themselves as easy fold sticks. This stick has an overhang at every joint, making it easy for even those with very stiff fingers to get the cane to fold down to pop inside a handbag. Has definitely saved a lot of waiters from tripping up when I'm having a meal out!

A competent tool for the job
Had some doubts when I originally ordered this unit, as it did not look sturdy enough, but , based upon reviews, decided to purchase this.It is definitely folding, and easy to fold and unfold. Comes in 3 parts that connect together, and are held together by an elastic internal cord when folded.It is definitely lightweight, and for me a little too lightweight. Having used this, I would have preferred one with another pound or so extra balancing weight to the stick. BUT , that is my personal preference.I have to admit that the unit must be implicitly sturdy enough to do the job- it just does not feel sturdy enough when in motion ( I suppose that is the joy of Aluminium , being light weight and strong) . It will certainly do the job for most folks of average weight. I amount approx 5'9, and I still have 3 notches left for height increase of the stick ( As I am no longer growing in height, this is NOT going to be an issue ).It also has a nice appearance, and a comfortable handle. Comes equipped with a rubber tip (no spares)Certainly good value for money.

Really nice and comfortableto to grab on with the hand, the colour I choose was nice and elegant.The only have to suggest, be careful with handle tends to peel off the mohogany varnish show on my picture, but I'm still happy with my new walking stick.
