Keep Your Stick Safe to Use
Walking sticks wear out and get out of adjustment. Wrong height and worn ferrules create fall risk. Quick check keeps you safe.
💡 Pro tip: Check your ferrule regularly - look for cracks or smooth patches. If the rubber is shiny, it's lost its grip.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you check?
Height setting, ferrule condition, shaft integrity, and handle security. Everything that affects safe use.
Why does height matter?
Wrong height causes back pain and unsafe walking. The handle should be at wrist height when standing upright. We set it correctly.
Can you replace the ferrule?
Yes - if the rubber tip is worn, we can replace it on the spot. Common sizes carried with us.
What if the stick is damaged?
We'll tell you honestly if it needs replacing. Better a new stick than a fall.
