MedlineOffset Folding Cane, 4-Point Base with Cushioned Gel Handle, Supports up to 350 lbs, Blue

I only wish I had bought this sooner! Tore my quadriceps and recovery has been a SLOW process. I have been using a cane now for several months, longer than expected. Picked up a quad cane (standard cane with four-prong "foot") at big box store, and was managing okay. Eventually, though, one of the feet wore down to just the bare metal, so the cane rocks and is no longer stable. Checked Amazon for a replacement and discovered this wonderful folding cane with much smaller base. At first I was hesitant about the base, but quickly learned that it improves my mobility. The quad cane meant that I needed a fairly sizable flat surface to "plant" the cane, so walking on uneven surfaces (lawn or park!) was a challenge, requiring me to lean on my husband instead. This smaller base with some rotation and flexibility means that I can manage uneven terrain much better.I was a little uncertain about the cane being foldable, thinking that might compromise its sturdiness, but I am pleased to note that it is probably even sturdier than the quad cane. It is quieter, as well - quad cane clicked and clacked like crazy, announcing my every move to everyone in the vicinity. This cane has no clicks on the floor (rubber foot) and my creaks or groans from the cane itself, even on my worst days when I actually need to lean on it. The folding is the best bonus ever! Months of maneuvering that darn quad cane over and around my steering wheel every time I get in and out of the car - such a pain! Had to readjust my rearview mirror almost every trip! Now I can quickly fold the cane and pop it in the passenger seat, no more struggles. It is also quicker to get in when its raining. I am also finding that being able to fold it makes it much less obtrusive when I am in public spaces (theater, restaurants, etc.) and not a trip hazard for those around me.My only complaint is that the smaller base does mean that I have to be a little more careful when I stand the cane on its own. Almost daily I have to pick it up off the floor at least once because I didn't take an extra moment to make sure it was properly seated on all four feet, or I accidentally bumped it. Never had that problem with the quad cane, even when it was off-balance because of the worn foot. I think this minor problem is well worth the trade-off of all the other benefits.

This is a good cane. I recommend it highly! Buy it. It is better than the Hurricane.

Love the hand grip and foot on the cane. Color was as described. Good quality cane.

I bought this an another folding cane at the same time. The other is prettier and has an attached cord, so once folded I can wrap the cord around it to keep it together and throw it in my tote bag. HOWEVER, this is the one I use most often. It has a better tip, is sturdier, and adjust to my height (I can't get the other one to come up to the proper length and stay up). It is also heavier. I use it for climbing/descending 6 flights of stairs at least once a day, but I don't really need it for flat ground. Where this one fails is when it is folded. It folds smaller, but the way you keep it together once folded is awkward and a pain in the butt, so much so that I do not use it. I end up carrying around a cane that i am not using for flat surfaces. Generally that's fine, but when appearances matter, I end up using the other cane because I can fold it away and if I need to bring it out it is at least pretty.

Easy to put together. Sturdy with good support. She’s stubborn not ready to use it yet

Seems sturdy but sounds clunky, was able to tighten a bit and it sounds better on a hardwood floor. Carpet is better, just the cane make slight noises. Like the blue and is light to boot!

Bought this for help walking with sciatic and knee pain. I am a large person and needed something sturdy. This has lasted for almost a year now. Handle is padded which is a must. Also the rubber four prong stand seems sturdier than other canes.

It keeps falling apart!II was expecting a refund for the cane!!!
