Medline Offset Folding Cane, 4-Point Base With Cushioned Gel Handle, Supports Up To 350 Lbs, Black

I only wish I had bought this sooner! Tore my quadriceps and recovery has been a SLOW process. I have been using a cane now for several months, longer than expected. Picked up a quad cane (standard cane with four-prong "foot") at big box store, and was managing okay. Eventually, though, one of the feet wore down to just the bare metal, so the cane rocks and is no longer stable. Checked Amazon for a replacement and discovered this wonderful folding cane with much smaller base. At first I was hesitant about the base, but quickly learned that it improves my mobility. The quad cane meant that I needed a fairly sizable flat surface to "plant" the cane, so walking on uneven surfaces (lawn or park!) was a challenge, requiring me to lean on my husband instead. This smaller base with some rotation and flexibility means that I can manage uneven terrain much better.I was a little uncertain about the cane being foldable, thinking that might compromise its sturdiness, but I am pleased to note that it is probably even sturdier than the quad cane. It is quieter, as well - quad cane clicked and clacked like crazy, announcing my every move to everyone in the vicinity. This cane has no clicks on the floor (rubber foot) and my creaks or groans from the cane itself, even on my worst days when I actually need to lean on it. The folding is the best bonus ever! Months of maneuvering that darn quad cane over and around my steering wheel every time I get in and out of the car - such a pain! Had to readjust my rearview mirror almost every trip! Now I can quickly fold the cane and pop it in the passenger seat, no more struggles. It is also quicker to get in when its raining. I am also finding that being able to fold it makes it much less obtrusive when I am in public spaces (theater, restaurants, etc.) and not a trip hazard for those around me.My only complaint is that the smaller base does mean that I have to be a little more careful when I stand the cane on its own. Almost daily I have to pick it up off the floor at least once because I didn't take an extra moment to make sure it was properly seated on all four feet, or I accidentally bumped it. Never had that problem with the quad cane, even when it was off-balance because of the worn foot. I think this minor problem is well worth the trade-off of all the other benefits.

I am recovering from a torn ligament and must go into work in the meantime. I work on a very large campus and it is a long walk from the parking structure to my desk. It was agony making that walk since I sustained this injury, so I decided to try using a cane. I ordered this one and have been very happy with it. I can move much more quickly and with minimal pain. The cane is sturdy, durable, and adjustable to the perfect height. Looking forward to the day I no longer need it, but am so glad to have it now.

Love my cane. It is so versitale because it folds up. Great for travel.

I bought this an another folding cane at the same time. The other is prettier and has an attached cord, so once folded I can wrap the cord around it to keep it together and throw it in my tote bag. HOWEVER, this is the one I use most often. It has a better tip, is sturdier, and adjust to my height (I can't get the other one to come up to the proper length and stay up). It is also heavier. I use it for climbing/descending 6 flights of stairs at least once a day, but I don't really need it for flat ground. Where this one fails is when it is folded. It folds smaller, but the way you keep it together once folded is awkward and a pain in the butt, so much so that I do not use it. I end up carrying around a cane that i am not using for flat surfaces. Generally that's fine, but when appearances matter, I end up using the other cane because I can fold it away and if I need to bring it out it is at least pretty.

My wife lost her cane and this one is perfect for her and loves it. Thank you

It's light and folds up and cheap

Fantastic cane! Love this thing. Folds up nearly and is very sturdy. The blue color is amazing!

Fell apart while using causing me to fall. It was literally a piece of junk.

I purchased this in Feb 2024 and now it’s July and the rubber piece on the bottom has cracked already. This was too expensive to only last a few months.
