A Classic
I've been using various Wanderfreund hiking sticks for almost 20 years, and I've given several as gifts to folks with mobility issues. The Leki quality is first rate and the design is excellent. The traditional 'T' or cane head design is remarkably useful on the trail, providing excellent leverage and support when moving uphill or downhill. Frankly, I'm surprised more manufacturers don't use a variation on this handle design. I use mine with the Leki rubber tip that comes with this stick - it offers very good grip/purchase on the slick granite boulders and outcrops we find on the trails down here in Georgia. The earlier model with the composite cork grip is more comfortable than the current model with the molded cushion grip so if you can find one of the earlier models grab it. Overall highly recommended!

Wandering with the Wanderfeund
Find the walking stick more ergonomically comfortable than a regular cane, with perfect height adjustment ease. The handle fits the palm of my hand and doesn't aggravate my tendonitis. It is lightweight and easily collapses to stow for travel on airlines, etc. but sturdy and safe.

the only cane handle trekking pole
I am disabled and need to lean on poles for support.They are indispensable auxiliary legs. My old pair had cork handles and were much more comfortable. The new ones have hard handles that press into my palms. My hands soon go numb. Leki is the only company that makes cane-handled trekking poles, so I have no other choice. Otherwise they have good shock absorption and would b

Everyday use
Bought this for my elderly mother to use to provide some stability for everyday walking. It is perfect as it is easy to hold, light weight, and provides excellent stability. It gets her out and about much more as she can walk with more confidence and security.

Best cane ever!
I actually purchased this cane for my elderly mother in-law to use as a cane. Although it is meant for hiking, it is the cane for the elderly. It is strong, lightweight and easily adjustable. Health care store canes are terrible. They are heavy, clunky and the old fashioned adjustment holes are stupid! One added plus is the rubber tip with a metal insert in the bottom...Every elder person should have a cane like this!
