Walking Canes Vs. Walking Sticks

selection of Walking Canes Vs. Walking Sticks.
While the two terms are used interchangeably among people who have
no need to distinguish between them, “walking canes”
and “walking sticks” are two different things.
The issue of walking canes vs. walking sticks is an issue mostly
regarding their materials and use.
· Walking canes are specifically meant to aid a person with
an injured or weak leg. A support cane must bear weight, have a
comfortable handle, and have a rubber tip on the bottom. These precautions
ensure a useful mobility aid.
Canes can be crafted from wood, aluminum, bone, ebony and other
sturdy materials.
The word “cane” actually began to substitute the general
term “walking stick” during the
1600s, when bamboo, Rattan and other dried reeds began to be used.
· Walking sticks, in today’s age, are more like hiking
sticks. This is a broader category than support canes, because walking
sticks can be almost any height, as they will be used from the side
rather than from straight above. They don’t necessarily need
to have a comfortable hand and bear a great deal of weight. Most
companies that sell walking sticks market them for active purposes
such as hiking and other outdoor adventures.
Usually made out of wood, walking sticks reflect the natural, woodsy
feel of a wilderness hike.
