How to measure for a walking stick?

It is incredibly important to make sure your walking stick is the correct height for use. A walking stick that is too short or too tall will not support the user properly and could even lead to health complications in the future.

To select the right height, stand up straight with your arms by your side and put your shoes on. Place the bottom of the walking stick on the ground and slightly bend your elbow (about 20 degrees). The handle of the walking stick should reach the crease on the underside of your wrist. 

All Flexyfoot walking sticks are quick and easy to adjust ensuring you can alter the stick to the perfect height to suit your individual needs.
