Adjustable canes and walking sticks are often favoured by our customers because of the flexibility that they provide for adapting to different types of shoes you might wear shoes and also to different types of walking surfaces (hills and inclines, concrete, grass etc.). They are usually made from aluminium - which is very durable - and they are also very light weight in comparison to their wooden counterparts. Unsurprisingly, adjustable walking sticks and canes are the most popular type of cane sold throughout the world.
Adjustable canes come with a series of holes running down one side and a spring-loaded locking pin that slips into these holes to keep the cane at its chosen height. The spring-loaded locking pin is the key, as it enables the height of the cane to be adjusted very easily at the push of a button.
You should consult with your healthcare professional in order to ensure that your cane is set at the right height for you, but as a general rule of thumb, the cane should be adjusted so that it is half as tall as you are. Roughly speaking, this means that when wearing your normal shoes, with the stick on the ground and your arms relaxed by your sides, the cane should be approximately touching your wrist.
The FlexyFoot walking cane ferrule is specifically designed to easily work with all kinds of adjustable walking sticks and canes. The unique way that FlexyFoot attaches to the bottom the cane ensures that you can put it on and take it off with the minimum of fuss and effort.
So if you currently own an adjustable cane or adjustable walking stick, you can take advantage of all the great benefits that FlexyFoot has to offer with the minimum of fuss!
