Could I modify this cane to 28"? I think it goes to 30" but could I cut it down to 28"?

OK- First of all, this is pure speculation as I have not tried any modifications myself. The overall length of the cane at its shortest setting is 31 3/4" (includes foot/pads,shaft & handle). After inspecting the cane I have concluded that shortening it in the area of present adjustment (top) is impractical and would probably destroy the integrity of the cane. By removing the foot from the bottom section, you should be able to cut off 2" to 3" without too much difficulty. The main problem would be in dealing with the elastic cord that holds the cane together. It too, may have to be shortened to retain enough pressure to do its job. Hope this helps and good luck.

I don't have the cane here to measure as it was for my mom but...it has several heights it can be adjusted to. If it goes to 30", surely it would go down to 28". My mom is 4'9" and it is a bit to tall for her.

It's lucite. I think a hardware store or carpenter could cut it down, but there is no adjustable height mechanism.

I am sorry but I do not have my cane with me at the moment. There are adjustments. I am 5'7" and I know it is not fully extended. I hope this helps.

The cane has 5 adjustments from 31.50"-36.25". I am 5'6" and the height works for me.

I have several collapsible canes and would not suggest trying to shorten them yourself, as they are held together with an elastic bungee cord. If you cut the shaft without properly shortening and fastening the elastic cord, your cane will be useless. There are several cane retailers who will adjust them for you for free or a small charge.

Hi Lisa, I am sorry I am unable to answer this question since my mother is petite and the cane was adjusted to the lowest point. The specifications indicate it can adjust from 29" - 38"H.

Yes,. Determine how long you want the cane then cut off the excess. I did mine on a power saw but assume it can be done with a hand saw.

I just bought one those canes and I think as long the circumference of the cane is the same as a regular cane I don't see why not.Hope this helps

There five holes on the side of the cane that you can adjust up or down for height, with about 1 inch between each hole or level. I'm 5 feet 5 inches, and I have it adjusted to the last-but-one level. So I could make this shorter if I needed to by 1 inch, or I could make it about 4 inches taller than my current adjustment. I hope that answers your question.

I don't know since I only use the base that came with the cane. You might try their website's customer service.

From my understanding it has a 30" to 32" height and the length would be determined by the length of material you use and set it to cut at.

The one that we have was 37" We had to cut 3 inches off. Great Cane solid wood.

Yes. There are 12 holes, one inch apart, for adjusting the length. My cane is set at the forth from the shortest setting and I am 5'2" It could be 8" longer or 4" shorter than my setting.

I believe so, as it is adjustable in length 33"-37". To determine the proper length of the cane, turn it upside down next to you standing erect. The tip of the cane should touch the inside of your wrist. Adjust the cane to that length. I love this cane, as it is very light and the handle is the most comfortable I have ever experienced. I am 6' tall and use it extended to 36".
