BigAlex Folding Walking Cane with LED Light,Pivoting Quad Base,Adjustable Walking Stick with Carrying Bag for Men/Women(5'5''-6'3'' Red)

This came either stands upright, can be stored away in my Rollator or luggage, and can light the way if walking after dusk. I tried all of these out already. If I want this came to be standing upright in a corner, not fearing it will tip over: it stands and remains upright as well. The grip is also more natural for me. I am fortunate to not have arthritis, as that might necessitate a model with a more versatile handle grip. For me, this model is perfect. It might work well with mild arthritis. Severe arthritis might present a more challenging grip with this specific model only. I could only imagine that there are alternative models available if one has such needs. For my needs, this came gets a solid 5 stars. In giving it 5 stars, it seems fitting to identify which customer profile might not experience the same 5 stars - along with a possible viable alternative to discuss with their medical prescriber.

I’m donating the two regular canes I had before because they’re not as helpful for my needs but might help someone else. My arthritis has been advancing dramatically in my lower back. I also have the disease in my hands and feet. Now approaching 80 and retired, I am noticing the disease spreading and literally tripping me up. I decided to try this cane because I needed more stability and balance. The sturdy, delightfully named Big Alex is my companion. The “foot” is perfectly balanced and gently flexes its 4 “toes” to help the rhythm of walking. I feel comfortable and steady now. The addition of a light is brilliant. I am so happy with my Alex that I am buying a red one today so I always have one in the home and one in the car. Strongly recommended.

I got this for my wife and she loves the stability it gives her. It’s not very heavy, but very sturdy. It’s easy to fold and unfold, though she doesn’t fold it much, just leaves it long. They advertise that it stands by itself, and it does mostly on a flat smooth floor, but not on carpet or an uneven surface. The batteries in the handle make it top heavy and easy to tip over when barely touched. The pivoting foot is very nice to get a grip on any surface. The light in the handle is a good idea, but they should have angled it downwards a little to see where your walking instead of straight ahead. All in all it’s a good cane.

This is a very good, lightweight cane.there are just two things that i wish they would change. First the handle should be a softer rubber, although you can use the cane just fine as is, and i wish it's base of four feet were just a little bigger all combined. The cane will not stand up alone on it's base as is and must be leaned up against something. All in all though it is a good cane to have and use.

I got this for my friend as a birthday gift because he had 2 strokes all of the other canes he was using would wear down on the round flexible tip on the bottom and would make him fall easier this cane is made a lot better and he says it’s easier for him to use and the bottom is still like a new one he hasn’t fell after using this cane and that’s a plus so after seeing it being used day after day I have to say this is the best cane made and I am really glad that I found this for him to use I give this cane a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating the shaft has not started to bend like the other one he used and the bottom flexible end is still in great shape and he hasn’t fallen once since using this can we both strongly recommend and the light in the handle is a plus it helps him to see getting out of the car when it starts to get dark and helps him find his house key to unlock the door

falls over on carpet

This is the best cane I have ever used . I used to fall quite a bit but I feel safe with this cane. It has a good base that I feel very secure with. Even has a flashlight on the handle. And it stands by itself on a linoleum or wood floor. I am happy I saw and ordered it.

I like this type of cane for several reasons. It folds up for one. It also comes with a rigid plastic attachment that can be used when you fold it up or you can use the wrist lanyard on the cane to do it. It has a storage bag. It has a pistol grip instead of a bicycle grip. It has a large foot with 4 stoppers (comes with a standard foot too) that gives you a better feel of the ground and more stability. It can stand on its own on level surfaces (not so much on carpet). It has a flashlight in the handle.If I was to redesign this can I would:Aim the flashlight more toward the ground and more toward my next step.Make the pistol grip out of a softer material.Include instructions on changing the foot from the large 4 pad to the single foot.Overall it's a pretty cool looking cane, so I'm giving it 5 Stars.
