Bariatric Tall Offset Cane 500lb Capacity

This cane is not only great, but seems to be one of a kind. And the price is right. I heartily recommend it.

I initially searched for a pair of canes for a tall man as I am 6-4 and regular canes left me bending over with horrible posture. I weigh 300 pounds, so the high capacity of these canes was also very helpful.

These canes are very solid, sturdy, and feel good in the hands. They look good. But, be careful to whom you show them. I showed mine to my adult son who, like me, is tall, heavy, and arthritic in the lower limbs. He wanted one, too. So, I bought him one, also. But, that's fine; these canes are relatively inexpensive.

Once again, these canes are really nice. Solid, good looking, taller than normal, and with a high weight capacity. But, beware. This is a man's cane. It is rather heavy, but feels very solid when you use it. A real man will thoroughly appreciate it.

I ordered my two canes on a Sunday: they arrived the following Tuesday!

This is a good solid sturdy cane. Held together with a screw tightener on the joint so it is tight fitting. No sense of any instability in this cane unlike some others which always seem to rattle even though they are together.
There is one thing to take note of though, and it is important for people who do get around well and may go for long walks: it is heavy at over 2# maybe closer to 3# it gets very heavy after walking with it for any distance. It is just fine for just short hops , so to speak, but I do notice it in my hand after a few blocks and more than that, it does begin to stress the elbow.
I am 6'6 and over 300# and in pretty good shape; i had been using a far too short aluminum cane which kept me stooped over but the weight transition is very noticeable to me. Other than that it is one of the best made canes I have seen around great paint covering seems to resist scratching as i dropped it a few times already and no signs of any impact marks at all.
