Cane Information
Canes and walking sticks are not intended to be used for full weight support. Canes and walking
sticks are intended to be used for balance only when walking. This information does not replace
your Doctors recommendation. Please call us if you have any questions. Approximate shaft sizes are given for
each cane we offer to guide you in choosing your cane.
We recommend using Renaissance Wax to care for your walking stick. Use a silver cloth to wipe the handles of the
silver plate canes.
The suggestions below are for guidelines only. Please adjust size for your comfort.
It takes two people to size a cane.
Stand with your arms down by your side. Put on the shoes you normally wear.
Have a second person measure the distance from the wrist joint down to the floor.
This distance should be the total length of your cane top to bottom.
Be sure of your measurements before cutting.
To remove ferrule: Grasp the shaft above the ferrule with one hand and the ferrule with the other hand and gently
twist the ferrule off. Cut shaft with a fine tooth hacksaw blade.
We will cut your cane for you at time of purchase at no charge, however, If you receive your cane and want to have us
cut it, you must pay UPS shipping charges both to us and back to you. We cannot take back cut canes. Be sure of your
measurements.
