the legs don't look symmetrical on this cane... does this effect the why to hold it?

NO! I bought this for my 96 year old Aunt an she loves it and has no problems with it at all.

not very sturdy. my dad goes to my house then my brothers and bought another cane to have at my ouse. His other cane the feet are wider, this one I was very disappointed in but did not return because shipping would be too expensive

The base does not pivot, but if the cane tips over, just use your foot to right it.

No. But it's base is larger than the cane that pivots. My mother has a cane that pivots, however after trying mine,she like the Hugo better. She feels, as do I, that the Hugo is a a wonderful cane. We both feel more secure with the Hugo.

Yes - but the platform is basically flush with the base at the head so it won't look quite symmetrical, but I doubt if anyone would notice unless they're looking closely.

I don't now that anyone can truly answer that but the user, but here's what I do:I relax my arm, then bend it slightly...just a little....and that's where the handle should be: right at that height next to my body. You want to be able to lean on it as you and the walk through each step you take. When you walk, it should be able to support you throughout the step. If you feel you're having to bend to reach it or, conversely, if your arm is TOO bent when the cane is vertical -- at the point of its motion when it is right beside you -- then you will not gain the benefit of the cane.

Maryann, I went to www.hurrycane.com; spoke with the guy who answered the phone about the problems with the feet. They sent me a whole new cane. I hope this help. Bob

Hello Mrs. Coleman - This cane was given as a present to my uncle who resides in another state. From the feedback, he truly is quite pleased with the cane. That is all I know at this juncture. Sorry I could not be of more assistance. Best regards, Dame Hilda Van Winkle

The bottom is rubber so it has some flexibility, but it does not pivot and the connection to the cane does not flex like the hurry-cane. As such I think it stands on it's own better and the base is very durable.

The Hugo people told me to stand on it and twist, that it would turn then. I did not do that thought, I seems as if that might break it. I did not like several things about this cane and I returned it to Amazon.I purchased a different brand, from Amazon [a Medline.]

No. You don't have to, but you can if you want. I'm pretty sure it's meant to sit w/o straddling the cane.

Yes, it looks like the one in the picture. It's a beautiful cane. Do understand, though, that this cane is made for a tall person. I bought it for a man who is 6'4" and it is perfect for him.

the handle is perfect, it is configured to fit your hand and very comfortable. My favorite cane by far and I get a lot of compliments on it. (slightly curved to answer your question)

I don't know exactly what you mean, but where the cane goes into this is maybe a little more than 2 inches. That's in the middle. it took my son to push the cane into it- he's strong and I am not The cane works great with it and if it falls over, just step on one of the sides or feet of it and it springs up for you to use! Hope this helps.

Well, maybe not really stand better on its own, but wld be better weight distribution for using. Just continued using my old cane. I should have sent it back early on for money back. Hope you gave more success with it.

I would suggest finding a shorter cane. I am 5' 3" and find it to be a little long at its shortest setting.

You're not doing anything wrong. Some of them come uneven. I need to prop one leg up with a book to keep it level. I really should have returned it, but it seemed too much trouble to do that.

I'm was not as happy with this cane as the orginal one. My mom's friend purchased the orginal and its great, I purchased the Trusty Cane and was not as happy. Best advise buy the orginal one.
