I recently joined the “cane club.” I fractured my patella and after 5 weeks in an immobilizer, I was set free but needed a cane. This cane is perfect. I stand straight. It helps with balance and it looks sharp. That said, I find it does not stand alone for any length of time. I will have to buy a different bottom.

I rave about this cane to every one! I have lower back pain and tend to stoop over when I walk or stand. Unlike other canes I have bought this one keeps me standing upright and not bent over. I can walk so much further. I love love love this cane. I even take it into my gardens when I work.

Pros: Tall height, helps with posture and balance, and the foot transfers very little energy from ground into arm -- good shock absorptionCons: The grip is a little painful to use, which forces me to grip it less tight, which means I can put less weight onto it than I would prefer.--This was my first cane and it's been very helpful for lessening the pain I experience from lots of walking on hard concrete or asphalt walking paths. It's relieved a lot of the pressure on my right knee, hips, and spine.The main downside is that the handle is incredibly uncomfortable, stiff, and results in some pretty quick hand cramping compared to other styles of canes. I frequently have to readjust my hand into a more comfortable position, but something about the way the handle is shaped results in very fast cramping.A nice thing about the handle though is that is upright shape results in less energy being transferred from the ground into your wrist. So, while this one may cramp my hand a bit, it tends to hurt my wrist a lot less than other canes I've used.The pivoting foot is helpful for shock absorption, which I like, and the upright handle, while uncomfy, makes for a good form factor for longer distance walking or hiking.Of the canes I have, I will likely reserve this one for exercising

I am recovering from an injury that caused a herniated L4 and spinal stenosis about a year ago. I just took this on a plane to Las Vegas and used it (along with a back brace) to navigate the strip. I had no issues with TSA. It breaks down easily and fits under plane seats. I did add some self-adhesive sports wrap to the handle for grip. I am in my 30s and at 6'2 tall, I didn't want a traditional cane... this works well and keeps you in the proper posture. The handle will start to spin itself loose after a couple days of use. Just retighten by hand, no biggy.

Love this cane!It’s easy to use to keep your back from hurting because it’s just the right level depending on where you put your hand on the handheld part of the cane. It stands by itself. It’s helpful for reaching for things also.

I have always had balance issues but wouldn't use a cane for a long time, and when I did start using a cane, I never really felt stable. Never really felt comfortable pushing down on the handle either and was always hunched over when using it. One day my brother gave me a walking stick, which was much better for me as I pull down a little bit on the stick as opposed to pushing on the handle of a cane. My back pain lessened quite a bit as I was standing straighter. The stick is long, and I'm always afraid I'll forget it somewhere, and I still don't feel quite stable with the little tip at the end.Saw the Campbell posture cane and was intrigued because you could just reach out and hold it like a stick, and the part where you hold it is curved, I can pull down on it a little which is more comfortable for me than pushing down; I stand much straighter using it. It has a strap, and I also like the large flat foot as it does make me feel more stable. Don't know what the diameter of the cane shaft is, but I put a thing (don't know what it's called) around it that will hold a small flashlight.Now for what I don't likeThe cane does not stand up on my carpet. This is a minor gripe. It stands on bare floor fine, and there is a strap.I paid $48 plus some cents (on Amazon) for this cane. That's a lot of money. After I ordered it I saw it in a catalog for $39+S&H. That's a lot of money too. Before my cane got here, I asked the seller if the tip could be replaced (cane tips wear out, you know), and they said they believed so. When my cane arrived, I tried to take it off but couldn't budge it. Didn't think too much about it as my hands are not strong, but I see now that others have tried to remove the tip, and it cannot be removed (see the questions)...SO when the tip wears out, you have to buy a new cane. That shouldn't be, and that's a big deal for me. For that reason, I won't recommend this particular cane to anyone. Hopefully more canes of this type will come on the market and they will have a replaceable tip. I get a lot of catalogues, and within the last week I saw the Campbell posture cane advertised in 2 of them for $29.95 +S&H. Bought a couple of other things I needed and paid only a $2.95 handling fee. Bought the cane as a back up for when the "tip" on the first tip wears out...because the cane is great, except for the irreplaceable tip.
