"My doctor told me about this cane after my knee surgery instead of using crutches that dig under the armpit. This cane is very comfortable, but took me a day or so to get used to. I weigh around 280 lbs and put a lot of pressure on the cane to pull myself up and feel confident in it holding me."

The adjustability height starts from 33 to 38 inches-you can adjust it with its simple button. This Walk Buddy walking stick has a super nice and comfortable grip. And just like Nueby, this one also supports LED lights and alarms. It also supports FM Radio Brodcasts, which makes it stand out. The Illuminate dark walks with an ultra bright LED light that helps you avoid every crack and pebble and enjoy fearless nights out with an additional flashing red light that makes your presence known.

"So far it's amazing!! I've only used it for a short time but it's lighter than I expected but also very sturdy and the cane stands on its own better than my last one. Also, the light on the front and the S.O.S light and alarm is great. Loving the F.M. radio too, it has surprisingly good sound and it's great to have when you need to use a cane. Thank you."
