I need a cane that is 31 inches. This one is 33 inches at the smallest. Can I saw 2 inches off the bottom after pulling the rubber foot off?

Yes you could. I was able to remove the rubber foot, and someone handy should have little difficulty cutting a few inches off the bottom. You need to be careful with positioning the end piece for the elastic stretch connector. Good luck.

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.

In looking at mine, I can tell you that I can't get the rubber foot off at all. If you DO get the foot off, I'm not sure where the line that connects all the collapsible parts ends. If it's ABOVE that end, I can tell that the metal tubing is hollow, you could cut it off easily with a hacksaw. I'm a disabled woman and I know I could cut through that metal. But for the life of me, not being able to get the foot off or discern where the line is connected has me flummoxed. Funny they don't adjust to shorter than 33", but I strongly suspect that it has to do with the line that runs through it needing a certain amount of tension to work, and that if it were shorter than 33", they'd have to create two sizes in the cane, one shorter to accommodate for the slackness of the line. Hope this helps!

Not only is it hollow, but you might find it difficult to restring and keep the collapse function. I would not try cutting it. However it is so reasonable in price you might find that those two extra inches are not that much of a problem, have you tried walking with a 33 before, not that much different.

On the package that the cane came in, it says it is adjustable from 33 inches to 37 inches. I hope this helps.

Sorry, I'm late to the party here.This Carex folding cane extends 31-37 inches.The Carex cane that does not fold (also on Amazon called Carex Soft Grip Cane, Black) adjusts up to 40 inches.I have both canes and like them very much. I use the non-folding cane when I wear higher heeled shoes. I am 5'8 and I would suggest the higher non-folding canemight be more comfortable for you.I especially like the comfortable handle on both canes.

Had the same trouble but I have a collection of canes and thus found a good one that was the correct diameter. Please remember it must be snug and not wobble. Would suggest you measure the diameter of your cane and match it to the inside diameter of the rubber tip. You might try your local hardware store and perhaps they might have some removal suggestions.

The cane itself weighs less than 2.0 pounds. The distance between the four feet measures 8.5 inches X 6.5 inches. I hope this helps answer your question.Scott, Dream Products

This cane is not adjustable in length. If you are looking for a folding cane, perhaps there is another brand that will be the right length. Good luck on your search.

There are 10 adjustments (for the length) on my cane. I am 5' 11" and I use the 4th setting from the shortest length of the cane. I would say get it, if it does not work for you, send it back. I really like the cane in terms of durability and use. Good luck

Yes the cane is adjustable and I think it would work for you. I'm 5'3 and there are still 3 more adjustments to make it shorter. Hope this helps.

The height is 8.2 inches. It's possible to make it shorter by removing the rubber feet.

Sorry my husband measured for you and it was only 36- 3/8. If you can't find one on amazon try fashionable canes.com. They have big and tall canes. Good luck. I just read your other reply to your question and I agree, Amazon might be able to help you. I always try Amazon for everything first.

as answered by others .... it fits canes from 3/8 inches to 1 1/8 inch. Mine works fine on most floors. Uneven surfaces doesn't do too well tho.

It has a black rubber tip on the bottom, about 1 1/2 wide, maybe. I just bought my second cane, this one for my mother in law, both her and my mother love the cane. Light weight, sturdy, both feel much safer.

The Cane can be cut down probably as much as 6" without ruining the look of the cane. I hope this helps with your decision.
