This is a really nice walking stick. It keeps me upright and is very adaptable to different positions. I use it all the time and it seems to be very durable.

I Bought this out of desperation but wanted to use it a while before writing a Review. To give you some Background ,Iv'e been taking care of my Disabled Sister for over 11 Years and she finally passed in January on Hospice at the local VA Home .All that lifting from falls really did my Back in. She was 190lbs of dead weight .Even my Chiropractor won't touch me .So I realized if I was ever going to leave this house I was going to have to get a Cane.I was falling a lot because of the pain and no balance.I even fell bringing in the one garbage can because that was the only thing holding me up.So on to the cane. I read the reviews and one complaint was it wobbled after putting it together .This one did to. So I looked at it and realized there were threads still exposed even though it seemed tight.I put the 6 toed base between my feet and started tightning the shafts.There was plenty of room to tighten this thing.Finally everything came together after I turned it as far as it could go and it was solid and tight and even stood up on it's own. So after using it for a day my Back was killing me.I had muscles where I didn't know I had muscles. It's better now.I guess that's called Muscle memory.I still need it for stability,hopefully that will come back but I'm so glad I got this.I still haven't walked farther than 50 feet but that will come.It took me 11 years to get like this I will just have to be patient.Hope this Helps someone out there.Sorry for being so long winded.Best of Luck,it's not an easy road.PEACE

Pros: Tall height, helps with posture and balance, and the foot transfers very little energy from ground into arm -- good shock absorptionCons: The grip is a little painful to use, which forces me to grip it less tight, which means I can put less weight onto it than I would prefer.--This was my first cane and it's been very helpful for lessening the pain I experience from lots of walking on hard concrete or asphalt walking paths. It's relieved a lot of the pressure on my right knee, hips, and spine.The main downside is that the handle is incredibly uncomfortable, stiff, and results in some pretty quick hand cramping compared to other styles of canes. I frequently have to readjust my hand into a more comfortable position, but something about the way the handle is shaped results in very fast cramping.A nice thing about the handle though is that is upright shape results in less energy being transferred from the ground into your wrist. So, while this one may cramp my hand a bit, it tends to hurt my wrist a lot less than other canes I've used.The pivoting foot is helpful for shock absorption, which I like, and the upright handle, while uncomfy, makes for a good form factor for longer distance walking or hiking.Of the canes I have, I will likely reserve this one for exercising

I recently had a spinal fusion surgery after being diagnosed with Spondylolisthesis. My L5 Vertebrae broke away from the spine, dropped and slipped forward, pressing against the nerve. It was an injury that bothered me for years but only became much worse in my 40’s and 50’s. A regular height cane puts too much pressure on my back because of needing to lean forward to get any support on that type of cane. They are just too low. Spondylolisthesis creates a horrific fracture-like feeling with every movement, which left me unable to even scoot forward on the cushion of a couch, forget being able to actually walk around the house. Luckily, while spending 5 weeks awaiting surgery I found this cane, and purchased it based on a wonderful review from another user who also had spinal fusion surgery. This cane has been a life saver. Before the surgery it allowed me to actually move around the house carefully while feeling I was not at risk of falling. I am still using the cane after surgery, which was only a week ago, just because the added support makes me feel safer and more stable. The cane can mostly stand on its own next to you, but that depends more on how flat your flooring truly is. I find the cane is also a great help at raising and lowering a toilet seat, or pulling clothes up, gently moving blankets, etc., all things I cannot do on my own because I am not allowed to twist, turn, or bend for another 10 weeks while the spinal fusion bonds. The upright position of the cane allows me to look straight ahead and not down at the floor, which instantly alieves pain.I have no complaints on this cane. I would just give two tips to potential buyers: the handle area can feel slippery once you wash your hands, so be sure to completely dry your hands after washing. The gold stripe near the bottom of the handle does tend to slightly unscrew through normal use, so just make sure you tighten it everyday to be safe, which you only need to twist it with your hands,No tools are needed. I haven’t had a need yet to fold it so I can’t say how small it folds up for storage.I cannot recommend this product more highly, It has been a huge help and I cannot imagine where I would be if I had only a smaller, traditional style cane.Thank you so much to the manufacturer of this cane.I picture I will continue to use this cane in the future as a walking stick, giving me more stability for walks around the block. It’s well made. I have even used it to help steady myself getting in and out of the shower.This is truly one of the best items I have ever purchased on Amazon. I am so grateful this cane exists.

Years ago I bought one for a friend who was having a difficult time with steadiness on his feet. He is also a tall gentleman, and he liked the way it kept him upright with good posture. Fast forward a number of years, and I found myself in need of walking assistance. There was no hesitation on my part, I got on Amazon right away and ordered the Campbell cane, and just a few days later, I was able to get around the house more safely using the Campbell cane. I would recommend this to anyone who is thinking about a cane, the handle grip is so comfortable. I also ordered the 2nd tip as my friend liked the ability to have the ability to change the tip.
