10 Reviews: Best Walking Sticks for Arthritic Knees (Sep 2023)

It features anti-slip rubber tips to avoid slipping. The Dr. Maya Walking cane has a 360-degree pivoting base for flexible movements. Perfect for all terrains and weather, from summer to winter. Furthermore, its weight capacity is about 250 lbs, and is portable and foldable.

The built in light is much better than I expected. I also love that it is 1.5 inches taller than the Hurrycane it replaced. I am 340+ lbs and have no problem using it. I know it's rated for >250 so I take care not to rely on it to handle a full on pull up unless I keep it very straight.

These are walking poles designed for small people up to 5 ‘3. ” This sterling static flip-lock mechanism ensures safe anchoring. The adjustable height varies between 35 to 44 inches and is very easy to fold. It is also only 8,9 ounces and is 13-1/2 inches foldable.

[...] This pole gives me the balance I need and makes walking with my dog so much more comfortable. I will also be able to take this when I travel and now feel comfortable when I go places that I need more balance. I'm 5' so the fit is perfect! I love this product [...]

This Drive Medical walking stick is pliable, is well built, also quite powerful, with a weight capacity of up to 300 lbs. It has a new friction gel to deal with fatigue and hand discomfort. Moreover, it consists of long-lasting aluminum.

Not easy to find a folding cane with a gel comfort handle at a great price. This cane fills the need perfectly. Handle is very easy to grip. Folds compactly and comes with a nice clear plastic case to store it. I am extremely pleased with this folding cane.

It’s a trekking pole for Nordic walking from TheFitLife. It’s made from high-quality aluminum materials of six series, using a material that absorbs shock, to secure your footing if you walk down the dangerous road above the hill. Next, its long Eva foam structure offers convenience and comfort.

When I go out I had needed a cane. People looked at me with pity and I usually got a side ache from leaning into the cane. Now, I use the walking sticks and have no problem. By the way, a doctor told me that I have minimal cartilage in both knees. With the trekking poles, I get no pit looks and people seem to think that I am sport walking and using both together I can almost run.

These Cascade Mountain Tech trekking poles are composed of 3K carbon fiber for both lightness and strength. It provides shock-damped technology to walk comfortably or climb difficult paths. Furthermore, the height-adjustable for all-terrain holders ranges from 26 to 54 inches.

I had my doubts about these guys but they 100% held up to the major beating that I gave them during 3 weeks on the 220+ mile long JMT! I used them to cross rivers, brace my knees on steep downhills, and to get across large snowfields and never once had even the slightest issue with slippage! I love these poles!

This is the collapsible trekking pole from Vive. It is compact, convenient, and offers great support for both balance and safety on all kinds of surfaces. Moreover, it is generated from rust-resistant aluminum with a lightweight feeling and slip-resistant rubber tip.

Hiking gear is best described by the words compact and portable. And luckily, this RMS walking cane is fitted with a secure lock system for stability. The folded size is around 11 inches with an extendable height of up to 38 inches.

I bought this for my dad that was having some problems with balance .. it has help with the balance but it’s foldable that’s what he like about it..

The collapsed size is 17 inches, which is still quite long, and it is best to hang it on your backpack when hiking. Apart from that, it also features convenient handling and a removable rubber tip for versatility-you can use it to walk on snow or in a wet area.

The walking stick is lovely, sturdy and well built. I am only 5 ft. 4 in" so it too tall for me. I will use it at home. Will look for a shorter one for travel.

The lightweight trekking pole has a three-section cut for easy folding. This Cabela’s walking stick is extendable and can be stretched up to 53 inches long. It has a removable rubber tip and an anti-shock spring system to relieve stress and discomfort when walking on uneven surfaces.

It is very sturdy, but light weight and easy to carry. I am a big guy and it easily supports my weight

You may put it inside your daypack with its folded size of only 14 inches. And yes, aluminum is our best pick for this kind of walking stick. Besides, it also features an Eva foam handle for superior comfort. And with its height adjustability, this can be a great weapon to help with Arthritic Knees.

[...] They worked great! I have some telescoping poles that are still too long for all of my backpacks. These trekking poles fold away to such a compact size that they fit very well inside my smallest daypack with room to spare! [...]
