HurryCane Freedom Edition Foldable Walking Cane with T Handle

The HurryCane is my favorite, all-purpose cane because it is comfortable to grip, lightweight, pivots to make walking more natural, and will stand on its own, with careful placement on select flooring. I own 4 canes, and I've had some experience with them over the years for various injuries, most recently a broken leg. This is the cane I always select when I am going out, to doctor's appointments, etc. The HurryCane folds easily, although you have to be careful; I pinched a finger when I first tried it. Despite the fact that it folds, the HurryCane is very supportive and it does not feel like you are compromising stability for compactness. The only negative is that the HurryCane does not stand up on its own as well as advertised; it will not stand up on gravel or uneven flooring, such as travertine and most carpets. With careful placement, it will stand on level surfaces, such as wood floors and flat tile, but sometimes it still falls over in this setting. However, the ability to have the HurryCane stand alone allows you to use both hands for something else (like finding that item at the bottom of your purse). Another incredibly useful feature is that if it falls, you can carefully stand on the base to make it stand back up. So although the HurryCane doesn't always stand up, it is so handy that it still rates 5 stars. Here is my comparison: The HurryCane is lightweight and comfortable, offering excellent support. It has a comfortable contoured handle. I am 5'2" and it fits my height comfortably, in the lowest setting. I measured and it can be extended ~7" more to accommodate taller individuals. It also comes in more interesting colors, like blue, as compared to other canes. My husband calls it my "Ninja cane," because of the way it folds and unfolds, so it has added a little humor to life as well. I've included a picture of the different canes from the front, as well as an overhead view, so you can better see the base of each cane. Basic cane (shown on left in picture): this was issued by the hospital a few years ago as I was getting out of a wheelchair after pelvic fractures. The candy-cane style hand is moderately comfortable, not as comfortable as the HurryCane, and it's weight is similar. This cane does not offer as much support throughout the gait cycle as the HurryCane; the pivoting action of the HurryCane offers more allows for more natural walking. Self-standing cane (pictured second from the left): this mini-quad cane offers a little more stability than the HurryCane, which has a smaller tripod base. It will stand on some flat carpets and rough floors like travertine, where the HurryCane often will not. It is also about twice as heavy as the HurryCane. I use it the least often. If you need a sit-to stand feature, this cane has one in a compact design. Because of prior shoulder injuries, I do not use it, but if your shoulders can tolerate the weight-bearing of getting up with this, it is a handy feature. This cane also has a small light, which is intended to aid walking in the dark, in one of the handles. Also, there is a small area for storage in the handle, with enough room for a key, emergency money, or a few emergency pills. Overall, unless you need an added feature like the light, storage, or sit-to-stand assistance, I recommend that you spend your money on the HurryCane. This Palo Apallo self-standing cane was purchased on Amazon for ~$50. Quad cane (shown on right): this offers superior stability and I use this when in the yard. Unlike the HurryCane, the quad cane will stand alone on gravel and in the grass, although it occasionally falls over if I place it on an incline. This offers more support than the HurryCane, but feels about twice as heavy. The sit-to-stand option is a helpful feature if you need assistance standing. This HealthSmart sit-to-stand quad cane was also purchased on Amazon for $35.

Great! Good height and gives one balance walking and standing in a crowd. Stands alone on even floor which is convenient. Folds up which gets it out of the way when sitting. Sturdy and tolerates weight when leaning on it. Handle is easy to get a solid grip! Looks professional. Best cane I’ve had.

UPDATE: I contacted the company and after a bit of a frustrating back and forth, they sent me a replacement cane. The replacement cane actually seems to be correct so the original I ordered was just defective. I appreciate the customer service and have updated my Star rating to reflect an actual functioning hurrycane. I really like the features of the hurrycane, such as the ability to leave the cane in a standing position and especially the ability to fold it up. My old cane was outstanding and I decided to update to the newest model for a vacation trip. While most of the cane was fine, the screw part that holds the height adjustment was either a fundamental design flaw or defective on my cane. I am constantly fighting with it to stay screwed tight, which it doesn’t. Unfortunately this experience will make me think twice about purchasing another hurrycane in the future.

I wanted something that was a little more stable than the one-footed cane I was using. That's what I got. A cane that's a LITTLE more stable. I can feel the center is pretty good, but with my neuropathy, I have fallen twice. Probably not the cane's fault. I do wish it was a little more "bendy" down at the base. Anyway, it is better than my single foot cane. By the way, it does NOT stand up everywhere.

My wife likes this cane. She likes the color, the construction, the portability that comes from folding. She likes the handle. Don’t rest your weight on it. I refuse to use a cane. I think they’re dangerous. As long as you’re standing up straight and you’re putting pressure on the cane in a straight line, a cane is a handy little tool. But if you get off-line or your hand loses its grip for a second suddenly the cane is a liability. You may use a cane. Many people do. But after my experience with back surgery, I would never use a cane if I could use a walker.

This walking cane has been a great purchase. It’s lightweight but feels very sturdy and secure when walking. The foldable design makes it easy to store or take along when traveling, and the standing base is very convenient because it doesn’t fall over easily. The handle is comfortable to grip, and the adjustable height made it simple to customize. Overall, it provides excellent support and stability while still being easy to carry around. Highly recommend for anyone needing extra balance and mobility support.

I bought this to help me navigate after a knee injury that now has gone arthritic, and I really like it. The handle is comfortable and has a good grip, and there's a wrist strap for convenience. The cane itself is adjustable to your height and folds up for storage. The base is wide enough to keep it steady, and has feet with treads for stability. I've been using it for several weeks now and it has made a big difference in my mobility! I would highly recommend it!

Bought it for my mom. At first she wouldn't use it, but now she loves it because it really helps with her balance issues.

Best Cane for my wife

A prima vista mi sembra solido e stabile...prima di questo ne avevo un altro tipo simile che in poco tempo è caduto in mille pezzi nella parte sotto....quindi cercavo ora qualcosa di più robusto...ovviamente è da vedere nel tempo con l'utilizzo ma sicuramente già si percepisce che è più stabile e robusto nel materiale.

Buy one, it’s fantastic.

المنتج جودته ممتازة جدا ومناسب الأوزان حتى ٨٠ كيلو ولايتحمل أوزان ثقيلة للاتكاء عليه. العصا خفيفه ويمكن التحكم في ضبط ارتفاعها وأيضا يمكن وضعها داخل الحقيبة للسفر وغيره.

Le gusto a mi abuelo mucho, se pone de pie solo así que es de gran utilidad para su día a día, recomendado!!
