 There
are several different types of walking canes for different uses,
depending on the person’s weight, height and condition.
1. Daily-Use walking canes: These walking canes
are the most standard and most popular. Some of the different features
that you can choose from are the derby standard or deluxe, anatomically
correct dress walking canes, tourist, palm grip, casual, extra length
or support and petite walking canes.
2. Lightweight walking canes: Many people enjoy
these canes for casual use and style. Lightweight walking canes
aren’t typically used by people that need a great deal of
support.
3. Collectable walking canes: These walking canes
are great for the person who loves walking canes and uses them as
a hobby. There are many different options in purchasing or creating
collectable walking canes.
4. Dress & formal walking canes: These walking
canes are wonderful for dressy occasions. Plain walking canes definitely
won’t compliment formal attire the way that a dress or formal
walking cane would. Some dress or formal walking canes are the Alpacca
cane with sterling silver or nickel, Italian silver walking canes,
fashion diamond encrusted walking canes, gold/silver plated, mother
of pearl inlaid walking canes and fabric walking canes.
5. Hand carved walking canes: Hand carved walking
canes will allow you to create your own style or flair. Generally
these walking canes are made of wood and can be designed any way
you wish. Some popular options for hand carved walking canes are
animal or famous face carvings.
6. Support canes: These are for correcting a limp,
supporting an injury, or to relieve some of the pain of aging and
weakness. Support canes can be wooden, aluminum or other metals.
The heavy duty support canes have a quad or tripod legged bottom,
for extra support on which you can lean with every step.
