Medline Offset 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.

I bought this cane for my brother. He loves it. Sturdy bottom and he likes it better than the curved handle. He is military handicapped ♿️. He sometimes forgets to take it when he leaves. I told him make it become your best friend. :) It's also foldable, with ease! Light weight!

Big fan of the convenience in folding it up and it easily connects together once taken out of my bag. Sturdy and stands up on its own. Recommended to friends. Hopefully the quality holds up once I've had it longer.

Love the handle. Thought the wider feet would provide more stability than what it does. Foldability and swivel is great.

Very nice and sturdy...love the color too.

It was great for a while. But just after my ability to return it it broke. So now I'm stuck with a broken cane. So obviously my opinion is the quality is poor. Price was great.

Very sturdy, easy to fold up and stands up by itself when not in use. I've used several canes it's the best one yet.

Very flimsy. Folds up when uding

Excellent product , good quality and easy to fold during travel, strong product Thanks

Love the colour. Very sturdy, exactly what I was looking for. Even though I am not in need of it yet, I am thinking ahead just in case. The only think that I would add to this would be a strap to hold it together when folded. However, if you are less than 5ft 5inch, it might be too high.

Foldable, good quality.

It was so hard to find a collapsible cane with an offset handle, and I was delighted by the bright blue.

I bought this for hip replacement surgery. I found it did the job albeit was a bit unstable due to it being foldable.
