Vive Folding Cane - Foldable Walking Cane for Men, Women - Fold-up, Collapsible, Lightweight, Adjustable, Portable Hand Walking Stick - Balancing Mobility Aid - Sleek, Comfortable T Handles

Perfect for my husband. Great surprise as to how well it folds up and takes very little space when not in use.

I never thought I would be in my early 40s and so easily excited about getting a new cane, but here we are. At the risk of oversharing, here's a bit of backstory. Some years ago I had two hernias and another four or five cancer-related surgeries more or less right on top of each other, and over a relatively short period of time. Unfortunately this repeated trauma resulted in very severe nerve damage and the pain only continues to worsen over time. I seriously cannot overexaggerate how much worse I hurt now than when I actually was tearing open, originating in my groin and often shooting down through my leg, into my foot, or up into my abdomen. Adjusting to a new normal has been very difficult, and you never realize how much you take for granted normal, everyday activities like walking, driving, sleeping, sitting at a desk, or even going to the bathroom until you need to ask for help doing so. Don't even get me started on the merry-go-round of medications I've tried.But enough of my sob story. The point is that once I put my humility aside, a cane has proven very useful in getting around, and after some trial and error I have come to really love these ones by Vive. First, lets talk about all the cute colors and patterns available. If I have to walk around feeling like garbage I might as well look good doing it, right? I was first taken in by the snazzy leopard print, then ordered a plain purple, and very recently bought the slick grey poly. The price point is very fair and multiple canes come in handy for work, an extra in the car, or keeping in strategic places around the house. They are very easy to put together, and easy to take apart again if needed. The rubber tip has good grip and I personally really prefer the flat handled top, as opposed to a curve, which is not only more comfortable but feels sturdier in my hand when I put weight on it. I also appreciate the string on the handle which you can put around your wrist if you need to free up your hand for a moment. If I had to make one very, very small criticism I might suggest adding one more hole to make it just a smidge taller for very tall people like myself. But even so it's very comfortable all around.So, again, if you have any hesitation at all I cannot recommend these Vive canes enough. It doesn't solve all my health problems, of course, but it's brought me some great comfort as far as really basic getting round. Plus I get a LOT of compliments on them, which feels good as well and makes me feel a little less conscientious about the whole thing.

Lightweight. Attractive. Sturdy.

Very helpful for planes and to keep track of your cane.

Works just fine and definitely will fit in my carry on bag
