This is my first cane so I cannot compare it against other canes. I'll just provide some information that's not listed. This folding cane adjusts from 33" to 37 1/2". It disconnects into four sections with the adjustable section on the thickest part at the top. There are five holes facing the rear of the cane located on the top adjustable portion. The length can easily be adjusted by pressing a small 1/4" spring-pressured button in to release it from its position and move it to another position. The handle is made of hard plastic. The contour is nice as it nicely fits under the hand. The tip portion of the cane that comes in contact with the ground is a rubber material. The cane is light; I compared it against some canned foods from 14 to 16 ounces, and I would guess it is in that range towards the lower weight. The "attractive carrying case" is just a thin plastic, see-through pouch. Color is medium bronze. Model number is 1316BZ.

Note that there should be three plastic grommets, one each on the three lower section. The grommets serve to protect the cord from rubbing against the metal tubes. Without it the cord will wear out quicker and the cane will become useless without it. The one I received from Amazon was a returned unit missing two grommets, but I kept it anyway because I needed to use it immediately. Be sure to inspect your cane for the grommets.

For the price, adjustable and folding features, and light weight, I'm happy with it. One reason I chose this one over other models was because it was sold by Amazon instead of a third-party vendor selling through Amazon.

My dad needs to use an orthopaedic walking stick/cane because of injuries sustained to his leg in a car accident 40 years ago.

I bought him two of these canes for Christmas - they are great! The hand grip is extremely comfortable and the cane is so convenient when he has to go to meetings etc... he doesn't have to walk in with it, just fold it up and put it in his briefcase!

If you are looking for a light-weight, portable, comfortable, durable orthopaedic cane - look no further.

This handy cane folds to a mere 12 inches, supports up to 250 pounds and weighs only 12 ounces. Some of you may scoff at the cane's plastic handle but, believe me, it's very comfortable and doesn't show scratches. If you scratch a wooden-handled cane, the lighter wood shows through - ugly. I also have foam-handled canes and they're nice but when it rains the handle gets squishy.
The cane is adjustable from 33 to 37 inches in height. It's a shame that someone (who doesn't own the cane) gave it one star because the height wasn't in the description - that is not the cane's fault! My other canes were more expensive but I like this one best!

We only used the canes once. They assembled easily, fit into our luggage, and worked well, but the first time we disassembled them (folded them back up) the cord connecting the pieces on one of them broke, making it unusable.

We took a long European trip and my husband needs a cane to walk extensively and also to manuever on trains and buses, in stations, etc.

It seems really durable and folds up nicely. He is 230 pounds and it is strong and supported him. The tip has stayed in place for our 22,000 mile journey. It took a beating and shows no ill effects. The weakness is that it needs a better case; the one provided is cursory so get your own if you plan on stowing it often, and also it could be improved with a wrist strap to hang it up. Over-all we were pleased with it and happy we purchased it. He is using it at home now.

Excellent, highly recommendablñe. Easy to fold, easy to change the length and very practical on trips.

It is sturdy and practical. The handle fits my hand perfectly. It folds up easily and I carry it in my bag at all times just in case I need it. It says it is for up to 250 lbs, however I am about 3 lbs over that and would never be afraid to use it.

I have been using a cane for some years now and I find this folding cane to be great.
I fold it and put it in my purse when I go out and it's out of the way where no one will trip over it.

I was able to fold this up and put it in my average size daypack. I'm 5'6" but if you are much taller it might not fit in a daypack, because you'd have to lengthen the cane, and that impacts the length when folded. The cane was comfortable to use when unfolded.

I am on a trip to Italy and using the cane each day, Would be a missrable trip with out it as the walking is up and down hills on cobblestone streets that have been here for hundreds of years.
