My walking stick needs replaced, any company recommendations.
I personally use a walking/hiking pole with a strap so if or when I fall I’ve still got pole to hand. I walked the West Highland Way with that pole albeit 14 years ago. But really the choice is up to you and your needs
Hi Redbabe1
I have a fab walking stick from Cool Crutches, they do some great designs and different aids too… I have what I call my Off Roading ferrule which is a heavy duty non slip one that I bought to help me walking on a beach one time and I’ve kept it on the stick as it gives me confidence when I go out.
I have a great attachment which fastens to my stick and has a hook to put over a chair or counter top to stop it falling. It’s all on the Cool Crutches website if you’re looking around, it suits me well
Good luck, I’m sure you will be given lots of really helpful info on this forum to help you with your decision.
Take care
I have a Switch stick, which folds down into a canvas bag when not needed. Not the cheapest ever, but after a couple of bounces off the floor, I decided I ought to get a stick. Look them up on the internet (I don’t think this site likes advertising… but https://switchsticks.com/)
