For Independence When Walking
These walking sticks help you walk independently. When using a stick, hold it opposite your weaker side. This lets you lean on it for support when when stepping with your weak side. You can hold it on the other side if your hand is injured or weak or you prefer using your dominant hand. Walking sticks are ideal for people who need minimal support while walking including the elderly and people with disabilities or limited mobility.
High Quality Materials
This adjustable walking stick is made from lightweight anodised aluminium. It has a moulded plastic handle, and non-slip rubber ferrule for safety during use. It's also height adjustable.

Days® Walking Sticks
Available in various styles.
- Designed to provide support, increased stability, and assistance while walking.
- Use the guide below to help you select the right walking stick for you.
How to Select Walking Sticks
Factors include stick height, left or right handed and type.
Walking Stick Height
Left or Right Hand
Using a walking stick at the correct height is essential. When measuring the handle should rest on the floor while your arm is relaxed. Then adjust or trim the stick to the crease of the wrist.
When using your walking stick, you should maintain an upright posture with the elbow slightly bent. Your body weight will be supported when you push down on the stick while walking.
If you need two walking sticks, the length should be slightly longer as they will be used ahead of the body when you are walking.
You should hold the stick in hand on the opposite side to the one that needs support if you are using a walking stick to compensate for an injury to your leg or joint on one side. If you use the stick for balance, you can use it with either hand.
Types of Walking Sticks
Adjustable
Adjustable walking sticks can be modified to different heights using simple spring-loaded catches and telescopic shafts.
Tripod and Tetrapod
Tripod and tetrapod walking sticks have a broad footprint to provide additional stability. These are best suited for heavier users who require a more stable base.
Folding Walking Sticks
Folding walking sticks are lightweight metal sticks with sectioned shafts that enable you to fold them for storage. For example, you may transport them within a handbag. Strong elastic runs inside the shaft to ensure that the stick remains stable in its open position.
