Very useful
An ideal walking stick. The height adjustment was very good. I would recommend this to my friends.

A Very Good Idea
I like this stick very much because the handle gives different areas to hold in different circumstances. If I use it in a certain way, the curve can be helpful towards propelling me forward, including going up and downstairs. I note that compared to the original and copies, there is also a slightly more pronounced bulge at the bottom of the curved bit, enabling a slightly larger surface to hold onto. The additional torch compared to the original version of this stick and copies is potentially very useful in dark situations and is quote powerful with its five LEDs. Many will also like the ferrule at the tip for the stability that it can give, although I have not tried it out of doors so far.Apart from the good things I have shared about, I have not been so happy with the tip because the shape of it has potential for catching in some situations. When this happens, also because the inner elastic is not as strong as other collapsible sticks, the bottom part of the stick can come slightly loose from the upper bit, which while not drastic as far as I can tell, is a bit disconcerting.I have replaced my tips with the Flexyfoot Shock Absorbing Ferrules (19mm) as at https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07RZL76KD/ which also have an additional cap available for icy conditions. It doesn't have such a large base compared to the one supplied with this stick, but I don't think that will make much of a difference to the grip on the ground. Although the larger surface on the tip as supplied may be more useful in some softer ground conditions. Other large splayed ended tips that are available don't have the slightly upswept edges which do not potentially catch in some things on the ground.I think the suppliers of this stick are a bit mean in not including the four LR44 batteries fitted with the stick, but they may have felt that it was better that purchasers buy potentially fresher batteries instead.Other sticks that I have had, have come with drawstring bags for use when storing the stick when not in use. It would have been good if one of these had been supplied with these sticks. Other stick covers are simply too small for this stick, even with the handle unscrewed.A final drawback I have to mention is that the handle is just hard plastic. While this may suit some people, a softer and sufficiently flexible grip surface would have made this stick more comfortable. Alternatively making an optional dedicated cover would be very useful. As it is none of the stick handle covers that I have seen are really suitable for this stick. I have some thick neoprene material on order that I am hoping to make a cover for my sticks.I hope my comments for improvement of these sticks have not put off potential customers, but I am hopeful that this feedback might be helpful for the manufacturers/suppliers of these sticks.

The cane does not hold upright as advertised.
Overall this cane is ok.It is unusual design but it does improve posture forcing user to stand upright.My only gripe is that they claimed it can stand upright, it can but only on very flat floors, it won't stand on floors with carpets, the cane will just fall, bad balance design, I would have thought for the higher price compared to others, they would have at least paid attention to details.Another gripe no batteries provided, & one needs 4 LR44 AG13 batteries (they omitted the detail) so add defective advertising as well.Could have been better so I only give them 3 stars.

Great Walking stick
Pleased with this stick, it takes the strain off arms and shoulders which is so much better than conventional walking sticks, it comes with a light which is also good but sadly they do not supply the batteries for the light which are not your normal aa or aaa batteries, so for that reason I have only given four stars as it would have been better to have been provided with the batteries for the light which are LR44 not a battery I would use for anything else.

Products a bit misleading
This was not what l was expecting. The stick is not stable on grease or slippery surfaces! I wouldn’t recommend if your balance isn’t good or you have any spinal deformity. It’s not a medical device and whilst it has it’s uses for a more abled bodied user, please be careful if you don’t fall into the category. The surface grip at the base of the stick is not stable.
