Is the handle comfortable when walking with it. The handle on my old cane is straighter than this one looks like. This one looks rounded.

This handle fits my hand comfortably. I was concerned about the smoothness of the handle as my previous canes had more of a "rubber grip". My hand does not slip off and I find it does not perspire as much.

The cane is used by my mother so this info is 2nd hand, she has had no complaints and uses it frequently which says alot as we are constantely reminding her to USE YOUR CANE

It is comfortable. I think it is easier to have a better grip, because it curved nicely inside the hand.

I had no problems. As you know, you sit with the handle in front of you between your legs. Since the height is adjustable, it was not too low for me to just set my legs to either side and straighten them to stand up. I carried the lightweight chair from four a.m. till after midnight and it was great. worked well as a cane, too. Great product.

I use it more for the support that it gives me when walking, standing up is just a nice feature. Have two of these, one for in house cane and one cane I leave in car all the time. If you have trouble changing the tips I learned to soak old one and this new one in hot water for a few minutes.

It is a little more stable. I mostly use a walker and use the cane to go up and down steps .

You can adjust it by aligning you palm even with the padded handle straight at your side. The clips on the cane very easily adjust to the side when your hand & arm are paralle to your padded wrist support on your cane. One thing I didn't know about using a cane is that you use it on your uneffected side of your body to give you a greater sense of balance. At the time you move your effected side leg forward, you also bring the cane forward @ the sametime to give you the greatest center of gravity. I found this from my PT @ my first appt. I hope this info works for you!!

I'm a 5'7" Grandmother and the handle is padded nicely and adjust to 2 different positions.i like to use the highest position and also ,i find i don't "kick" the spacious basket underneath,as I did with other strollers.I take long strides when walking fast and this had been an issue in the past!!

The handle moves from side to side but it is very sturdy and stable when you are using it. No problems with it!

In my opinion, it should work fine. I use mine all the time, a nice surprise for once, got good value in something that I bought. I sit on it with the cane handle in front of me, more comfortable for me. Recommend it highly.

First of all I love this cane, carry it for emergencies whenever I've traveled (3 major trips so far). Bought it for myself but my husband used it for whole vacation in Java when he twisted his ankle. It has 4 sections, the handle is stiff but it has indentations for fingers so it is comfortable. It is very well made. The length can be adjusted from 33 in to 37 in. The tip is large and very sturdy. When folded it is 1 ft 1/4 inch. Comes with a plastic band that keeps the folding parts together also plastic case. Hope this helps.

The product specs say the cane weighs 2 lbs. It actually feels a bit lighter. The hand grip is well padded with a soft material that makes it more comfortable than the usual hard plastic. I have two of this model and one, much heavier, large base model.

I don't know what you find uncomfortable about the wooden handle you have now, but I find the wooden handle of this cane very comfortable and secure.

The one I got is smooth. The handle is also shorter than I thought it would be

The handle is oval, not round as the previous user stated. It is probably hollow with a cap on the end but is very sturdy feeling. These items have a very comfortable feel to them.

It's been awhile since I did it, but the curve of the handle is now opposite of the picture. Hope that helps.

It does. I have been using my cane for a couple of months now and have had not problem at all with any slippage. And it's really pretty.
