Ez2care Adjustable Folding Cane with Carrying Case, Black

Love this cane, it folds up, height is adjustable, and most importantly it’s super sturdy, yet lightweight. For the price I paid its totally worth it.

I purchased two of these canes via Amazon, one for my son who was recovering from a serious knee injury and one for myself, because I find one helpful from time to time because I am occasionally troubled by a past injury. I was so impressed with the quality and value of the Ez2care that I immediately ordered two more for two of my friends. Here's what impressed me: 1. The mechanism works smothly and securely. 2. The carrying case and velcro strap provide a good way to keep the cane out of the way when it's not in use. 3. The grip is quite comfortable. 4. The tip is of good quality. 5. My experience with it is short, but it looks as if it will hold up and give good service for a long time. 6. The price is outstandingly reasonable. Here are some other comments: 1. While the cane deploys easily, and does it with a flourish that would befit James Bond, it takes a fair bit of effort, dexterity, and concentration to fold it up again and get it back in its bag. 2. It adjusts to accomodate the user's height, but I have mine at its maximum length, and I'm only 5ft. 10in. A taller person might not be able to extend it to the optimal length. 3. The instructions that came with the cane tell you to use the cane on the same side of the body as your injured extremity. My physical therapist told me the opposite. I'll follow her advice. That seems to work better for me. Bottom line: The Ez2care Cane is a good value! I quickly became a repeat customer.

I am recovering from lumbar surgery and currently need some extra support when walking. I purchased this cane to have something more compact and stylish than the plainly utilitarian shiny aluminum adjustable (but not foldable) cane we've had around here for years. This one was less expensive than several others and received pretty good reviews, so I took a chance on it. We just returned from a two week Danube river cruise that included quite a few walking tours which gave it a real workout. First off, this is exactly as represented: a fairly sturdy walking cane, composed of four sections of aluminum tubing, that folds up compactly for carrying or storage when not in use. An elastic cord running the length of the interior keeps all the parts together when the cane sections are separated, similar to the system used for many backpacking tent poles. A hook-and-loop strip can be used to tie the folded sections together to keep it compact. I often would fold it into two or three sections to make it easier to deal with while seated and I have not suffered the cord separation a few others have reported. Due to its construction with the tapered top of each section fitting into the untapered bottom of the section above it, there is no danger of the sections coming apart or buckling when weight is applied. In fact applying weight just makes each joint tighter and more secure. There is a little give in some of the joints, but the cane is it far from wobbly and easily provides the support I need for my 250+ lb frame. The length adjustment is all contained in the top section, which telescopes in 1" increments. As I have an unusually long torso, I'd like it better if it would go 1" longer than its 37" maximum, but this seems to fit in with the standard length of most adjustable canes I've found. For maximum stability, be sure to securely tighten the threaded collar at the bottom of the adjustable section once you've set it to your chosen length. The cane must be set at its minimum length, or near to it, to fit into the carrying bag. This is not a big issue for me, as I seldom have need to store it in the bag, but this could be an issue for users who adjust to something longer than the minimum length and wish use the bag for frequent storage in a purse or other tote, as they would have to readjust the height every time they put it in or out of the bag. The top of each of the bottom three sections is fitted with a polymeric grommet through which the elastic cord passes. After only a few uses, the grommet on the bottom section separated and became stuck inside the mating tube of the section above it. That has made this joint very hard to separate when wanting to fold the cane. With the extensive use given on our cruise the last couple of weeks, the same thing has happened in the other sections, but they are still coming apart fairly easily. The contoured handle fits my hand well and remained comfortable even over some extensive walking tours of several mile duration over cobblestones and steps. The black paint HAS gotten a bit dinged up revealing a lighter color underneath, but it is easily touched up with a black permanent marker. All in all, I am quite pleased with this cane. I deducted one star due to the need to readjust the length to use the storage bag, and for the grommets coming loose.

It works great! I have had it a few weeks and it adjusts as needed which is great for a first time user to get the right comfortable height. Durable enough to withstand multiple drops onto concrete with only handle scratches (which is to be expected from my inadvertent hand slipping while trying to multitask with my hands). The only things i find slightly annoying is the wrist strap does not detach easily (I guess you could cut it easily enough, though I just decided it was worth keeping on in case i might need it) and the wrist strap tends to shift down the shaft of the cane exposing the brass top piece holding the handle to the shaft. The only other issue after intense use in NYC is that the threaded screw locking mechanism above the first bending part comes a little loose and occasionally has to be tightened. You can tell when it is loose because of the slight reverberation noise. Lastly I suggest if you will be leaning very hard on the cane to wear padded gloves. I work in a office and I found my soft hands bruised after hours of leaning heavily into the handle. Not at all the products fault, it provides a solid grasp! Just a pro tip for anyone else who may be new to using a cane. However for the price paid this is an amazing product that has helped me navigate the New York City subway system and all of the various terrains you may encounter throughout the five boroughs with consistent support and reliability. I am very satisfied with this product and would recommend it to friends and family.

Nice to have to travel. Folds up easily.
