Adjustable Walking Cane by BigAlex: Quad Cane for Enhanced Mobility and Stability

StellaCadente: This is the second four-footed "stability" cane I've purchased in this price range. I bought another brand first and it was clearly some overseas manufacturer selling cast offs: the four legs weren't even the same length and it was easily seen. I did get a refund after returning it, thankfully, and went ahead and bought this one. I have used Big Alex canes -- the "hurrycane" folding type with the flexible revolving bottom -- for years. I have two that I have used for five years and they are just starting to show wear and tear on the bottom. The trouble is, I live in a house with two steep front steps, and their flexibility makes it difficult to drop down the second step onto the walkway. So I thought maybe one of these canes would be better. They aren't. Any force that isn't directly from above causes the cane to tip. If I do it just right, I can get down the step a little more securely than with the hurrycane type. But that's it. This isn't a good cane to walk with unless you want to be totally focused on keeping your arm directly above so the force is in a straight line with the cane. A LOT of hassle. I think I'm going to have to see if my insurance will cover...

Earners: The cans are very sturdy and the only quad cans that I could find for my father that is over 6 foot.

brandon b.: Very sturdy. One dislike is that the base could be bigger I'm 6'8 and 255 lbs. This cane fits me perfectly
