We’ve surveyed some of the best walking cane options available in terms of construction, aesthetics, and convenience. Here are our top choices to help you get moving and stay moving.
Stabilizing technology
The HurryCane model comes built with innovative SteadiGrip stabilizing technology that both improves balance and increases traction whether you’re indoors or outdoors. You can adjust the height between 30.5 inches and 37.5 inches to best suit your body height and posture. It features a weight capacity of up to 350 pounds.
Works from all angles
The Honeybull walking cane adjusts from 30 inches to 37 inches, making it suitable for both men and women between 5 feet and 6.5 feet tall, or teenagers recovering from that sports injury. It’s lightweight and foldable and can be collapsed for travel, so you don’t need to put your vacation on hold. The base pivots so it will stay flat on virtually any angled surface. This cane is a versatile option to help out the elderly, infirmed, or temporarily injured.
Ergonomic look
A real-wood ergonomic handle that reduces hand cramping and fatigue makes the Switch Sticks cane a great option for walkers. This walking cane weighs only 13 ounces yet it is strong enough to support up to 264 pounds. The height can adjust from 32 to 37 inches to best suit your height and posture. A nice extra is the durable wrist strap that will make sure you don’t accidentally slip or drop the cane.
