I bought this fo my husband and he weighs 220 lbs. and it works great but as for 250 lbs. I would check what the manufacturer states would be any limits. Good luck.

I'd advise reading the info page about the cane to see what the recommended weight limit is. My brother-in-law used it just fine, but he weighed 160 or so. If you will be leaning on it heavily, a quad can with the four wider spaced feet might be a better choice stability wise.

I weigh 200 pounds and no stress at all for the chair. I would think you would be safe up to 250 pounds.

I weigh 210 pounds, and the NOVA cane never exhibited any instability. As long as the cane is used correctly, i.e. close to the body and the Force vector is apply vertically, this instrument should be capable of supporting someone considerably heavier than myself. This would be a good question for the manufacturer.

I would say it would support at least 200 lbs. or maybe even more. Let me tell you, you will get more comments and compliments on this cane. It is amazing how many people notice it! The handle is very comfortable. Hope this helps.

I weigh 265 and it easily accommodates me. I would guess that you will be fine!

Tammy,Thanks for the inquiry. The adult-sized ErgoErgo has been tested to support 250 pounds.

If the cane is strictly used as a prop it will work fine. I would not put your full weight on it.

I am 238lb and it works well for me. I don't see any reason why it would not work for 250lb. Good luck!

The cane is not heavy but the legs are long & higher off the ground so it tips easy. It was OK wen I was steady but as I became weaker it would tip over wen I leaned on. Many canes have shorter more spread out legs which would be safer at her age. My profession was caring 4 elderly b4 my handicap.

Not unless you use two. Mostly it helps disperse some of the weight on your knees and feet, and will help prevent falls. I find that leaning on the cane to reduce the weight on my knee can make my back ache. Of course, I am so full of arthritis that I may be blaming the cane unfairly.

The cane worked very well for my wife for 8 months, when she was suffering with cancer , before she passed. It prevented her from falling down . She was 5 foot 2 inches, and weighed 140, in the beginning, and weighed 100 at the end when she passed. God bless her, and , may she rest in peace.

No, it will not. I bought it because it folds and I can take it with me in my handbag. But using a quad cane for years, this did not do it for me. However, I did buy from amazon, a tripod tip which I swapped for the rubber cap at the bottom of the cane and that gave me more stability. I hope you don't take this remark as "rude" but if you are heavier than 125-150 pounds, it might not be strong enough for you to lean heavily on it. I hope this helps. Good luck to you Anne.

I am about 250 lbs. It will carry me up a pretty good hill but it strains a bit. On flat land it would carry me all day.

I cannot give you a finite number, but I am approximately 200 lbs and no problem. I am a retired engineer and I would say this is a very strong cane and well made. I believe it would be nearly impossible to damage it if you could put your entire weight on it (unless that person weighs 300+).

It is an adjustable standard sized cane. It seems pretty sturdy to me; I use it for balance and for some support as I have weakness on the right lower extremity. I am certainly not a small woman, but I am not sure if it will support someone over 250lbs, who needs to lean on it, as it seems a bit light.

I know what you mean. Its a nice cane and so far seems strong. Its a bit heavy and your hand can get tired from holding it.
