Fashion Walking Canes – How to Ensure Safety

Fashion walking canes usually come with a decorative handle or stylish shaft, but for seniors, color and comfortable handles are the norm creating a classy look.

These dressy walking canes are not the regular run of the mill boring walking aids and many fashionable canes come in a variety of colors to accommodate the preference of most seniors.

Fashionable Walking Canes

While a walking cane is a mobility aid that supports a user’s body weight by shifting and distributing it from an affected leg to the upper body to enhance body movement, it differs from a designer cane.

Fashionable walking canes, also called designer walking canes, are usually lightweight but still provide better balance, but the design is more for a stylish look.

There are lots to choose from in the market and choice should be carefully made. It is recommended that you always compare the weight bearing capacity of the walking cane to ensure that the Β purchase is safe and suitable for your weight.

This is because designer canes are generally not as sturdy as regular canes although they are much prettier.

  1. I like the designs on these fashion walking canes. The peacock and butterfly ones are very pretty, and I think that having fashionable canes can give the owner more confidence. They look nice.
    When would you need a sturdier cane and when can you get a lighweight cane? What is the difference?

    Reply
    • A sturdier cane would be necessary to accommodate weight. That is the reason why I constantly highlight the weight bearing capacity of a cane so that you can check if the cane is suitable for you. If your weight exceeds the manufacturer weight bearing capacity, then you should not purchase, no matter how pretty the cane looks, because it will be unsafe for you.

  2. Having to use a cane can feel quite limiting, so the ability to bring a bit of personality to it can sometimes help the user feel themselves. These have some great designs on them.

    Thanks for the guide…

  4. Hi Ceci,

    The collapsible models are suitable for travel and everyday use, and I think my parents will love the convenience they bring. I wonder whether they come with a warranty or a free replacement policy. It helps my parents have more confidence in the product quality and the company behind it. πŸ™‚

    Cheers,
    Matt

    • Hi Matt,
      Many of the canes are generally not very expensive and do not have offer of warranty on the product information provided by the manufacturer. So long as you select a cane for the right weight capacity, if there is damage, I would still reach out to the company. I will also look into this for you
