5.0 out of 5 stars LEKI walking stick, January 5, 2009

By	Frederick J. Miller (Knoxville Tennessee) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree entirely with the previous review. I have had mine for several years and cannot get along without it. For me, the biggest advantage is the adjustability for length. Most canes advertised on the Internet are 36 inches long. This is barely long enough for a six-footer and way too short for a taller man.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect as both walking stick & cane - perfectly engineered, September 1, 2008

By	M. M. McMahon (Kansas City, MO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After spraining my ankle on the Island of Staffa in Scotland, I bought my Leki more for a cane than a walking stick. The Antishock makes it very easy on the hand. However, for the past few years I have used it primarily as a walking stick. And I love it. It is easy to use, easy on the hands, easy to adjust, strong, light-weight, sturdy and durable. When compressed it fits diagonally in a large suitcase so I can take it when heading to birding locations. When extended, it works wonderfully as a walking staff. Honestly, it is one of the favorite things I own because it is so perfect at what it does. Brilliant.
