Whilst walking sticks have a history which is long and involves the use of traditional materials, the use of comtemporary materials is increasing. The stylish modern handles of our contemporary canes are both durable and comfortable in the hand. There are many styles to choose from.

This walking stick in burgundy stained, beech wood has a derby handle and polished shaft. The stick measures 92 cm long.

To measure someone for a walking stick, ask them to stand with their weight evenly on both feet, looking straight ahead and with their arms relaxed by their sides. You then need to measure from the floor to the prominent bone of the wrist. This is the length of walking stick required. Please note this is just a rule of thumb. If the person has special needs, they may need to be measured by a medical professional. Alternatively they may have personal preferences for a longer or shorter walking stick.
