I am 5 feet 8. Is the height adjustable? How heavy is the cane? Can it be used on even surfaces?

It is not adjustable, but I am 5'7" and I have to bend my elbow to hold the handle. No, it is not heavy. Sturdy, but comfortable weight. Yes it can be used on even and uneven surfaces.

height not adjustable, but should work for you. not heavy, my wife also used it as a walking aid. use only on slightly uneven surfaces

It's not adjustable, but I'm 5'3" and it was too tall for me. The cane is a bit bulky but not heavy. It must be used on flat surfaces. I almost fell over backwards because the seat is not steady front to back on carpet, so I returned it.

The height is not adjustable. I am 6'3" and I find it to be trifle low, both as a cane and as a chair. It is very lightweight. It works best on reasonably flat, hard surfaces. I have been using it outdoors recently, and the chair legs do sink into soft soil.

The height is not adjustable. My husband is 5 feet 6 inches and he has no trouble with it. The cane is not heavy at all. My husband took this on a cruise and found it to be perfect. It is not awkward to use.

Yes. Not sure of the range but I am 6'2" and my wife is 5'6. We both have one. Nice cane.

There are several heights it can be adjusted to. I am 5'3 and my daughter-in-law is about 5'10" and we have the same kind of walker. Each of ours is set differently and the walkers works for each of us. Hope this helps.

My neighbor is 5 feet tall and she uses my cane at times and has no problems.....

It is for my husband. The handle has a some what larger diameter than other canes, and is flat on top, with extra padding. The cane itself is very light weight. The quad foot is very stable on most surfaces as well. I have also tried it, having trouble with my own hands, and am going to buy one for myself very soon. This would be a very good cane for you to buy and try, as I think it should be quite easy for your uncle to use.

I assume you are asking if someone five feet tall could use the cane comfortably. At its shortest, the one I got is 33" tall from top of handle to base of rubber tip. You might use a yard stick to check that for comfort. I use the cane in its shortest position, and I am 5'8" so I think it would be too long for someone five feet tall.

My husband bought this for me a few hears ago. I hate it! I'm 5'8" and 150 lbs. Because I have the cane set high to the second-highest notch, it keeps falling over. One of the reasons I wanted this cane was because it hurt to bend over to pick up the cane, so I wanted one that would remain standing. It's a great concept, but needs work. If you are over 5'8" I suggest you reconsider. Maybe they make them better now. But I hate the HurryCane I have. I use a 4-prong cane instead.

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".

This cane will adjust to 6'1" quite easily. I bought the ultra light carbon adjudtable cane and have been very happy - about a year - so far!

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.

Shaft is approximately 1" across and length is adjustable and would accommodate a tall person as well as a shorty like me. Is strong enough for 250 lbs., as stated on the cane, but is extremely lightweight.

The cane was actually too long for my husband. He is only five foot six inches tall. He actually had to cut off some of the cane to be able to use it.

I returned mine as a friend had bought me one as a gift. It works well on either floor or carpet. A few ladies in my rehab class had this cane & my therapist recommended it above others. I was recovering from knee replacement surgery as was worried about my balance. Because the bottom is like a foot it is stable & supportive.

I am a little over 5'2" and it adjusted to my height very nicely, and there were still settings remaining that would have allowed it to be adjusted to a shorter height. I think it would easily work for someone 5' tall, or under. Also want to say that this cane is very high quality, sturdy, comfortable to hold and a fantastic bargain at this price. I see the same ones in drugstores for almost twice the price. FYI, I used this cane while recovering from a broken leg.

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.

It's adjustable. My husband who is 5'5" used it with a 5'10" friend with no problem.

It is not an adjustable handle, however I am 5 foot 8 and I'm very comfortable pushing it.
