HurryCane Freedom Edition Foldable Walking Cane with T Handle

The HurryCane is my favorite, all-purpose cane because it is comfortable to grip, lightweight, pivots to make walking more natural, and will stand on its own, with careful placement on select flooring. I own 4 canes, and I've had some experience with them over the years for various injuries, most recently a broken leg. This is the cane I always select when I am going out, to doctor's appointments, etc. The HurryCane folds easily, although you have to be careful; I pinched a finger when I first tried it. Despite the fact that it folds, the HurryCane is very supportive and it does not feel like you are compromising stability for compactness. The only negative is that the HurryCane does not stand up on its own as well as advertised; it will not stand up on gravel or uneven flooring, such as travertine and most carpets. With careful placement, it will stand on level surfaces, such as wood floors and flat tile, but sometimes it still falls over in this setting. However, the ability to have the HurryCane stand alone allows you to use both hands for something else (like finding that item at the bottom of your purse). Another incredibly useful feature is that if it falls, you can carefully stand on the base to make it stand back up. So although the HurryCane doesn't always stand up, it is so handy that it still rates 5 stars. Here is my comparison: The HurryCane is lightweight and comfortable, offering excellent support. It has a comfortable contoured handle. I am 5'2" and it fits my height comfortably, in the lowest setting. I measured and it can be extended ~7" more to accommodate taller individuals. It also comes in more interesting colors, like blue, as compared to other canes. My husband calls it my "Ninja cane," because of the way it folds and unfolds, so it has added a little humor to life as well. I've included a picture of the different canes from the front, as well as an overhead view, so you can better see the base of each cane. Basic cane (shown on left in picture): this was issued by the hospital a few years ago as I was getting out of a wheelchair after pelvic fractures. The candy-cane style hand is moderately comfortable, not as comfortable as the HurryCane, and it's weight is similar. This cane does not offer as much support throughout the gait cycle as the HurryCane; the pivoting action of the HurryCane offers more allows for more natural walking. Self-standing cane (pictured second from the left): this mini-quad cane offers a little more stability than the HurryCane, which has a smaller tripod base. It will stand on some flat carpets and rough floors like travertine, where the HurryCane often will not. It is also about twice as heavy as the HurryCane. I use it the least often. If you need a sit-to stand feature, this cane has one in a compact design. Because of prior shoulder injuries, I do not use it, but if your shoulders can tolerate the weight-bearing of getting up with this, it is a handy feature. This cane also has a small light, which is intended to aid walking in the dark, in one of the handles. Also, there is a small area for storage in the handle, with enough room for a key, emergency money, or a few emergency pills. Overall, unless you need an added feature like the light, storage, or sit-to-stand assistance, I recommend that you spend your money on the HurryCane. This Palo Apallo self-standing cane was purchased on Amazon for ~$50. Quad cane (shown on right): this offers superior stability and I use this when in the yard. Unlike the HurryCane, the quad cane will stand alone on gravel and in the grass, although it occasionally falls over if I place it on an incline. This offers more support than the HurryCane, but feels about twice as heavy. The sit-to-stand option is a helpful feature if you need assistance standing. This HealthSmart sit-to-stand quad cane was also purchased on Amazon for $35.

Great! Good height and gives one balance walking and standing in a crowd. Stands alone on even floor which is convenient. Folds up which gets it out of the way when sitting. Sturdy and tolerates weight when leaning on it. Handle is easy to get a solid grip! Looks professional. Best cane I’ve had.

UPDATE: I contacted the company and after a bit of a frustrating back and forth, they sent me a replacement cane. The replacement cane actually seems to be correct so the original I ordered was just defective. I appreciate the customer service and have updated my Star rating to reflect an actual functioning hurrycane. I really like the features of the hurrycane, such as the ability to leave the cane in a standing position and especially the ability to fold it up. My old cane was outstanding and I decided to update to the newest model for a vacation trip. While most of the cane was fine, the screw part that holds the height adjustment was either a fundamental design flaw or defective on my cane. I am constantly fighting with it to stay screwed tight, which it doesn’t. Unfortunately this experience will make me think twice about purchasing another hurrycane in the future.

I wanted something that was a little more stable than the one-footed cane I was using. That's what I got. A cane that's a LITTLE more stable. I can feel the center is pretty good, but with my neuropathy, I have fallen twice. Probably not the cane's fault. I do wish it was a little more "bendy" down at the base. Anyway, it is better than my single foot cane. By the way, it does NOT stand up everywhere.

My wife likes this cane. She likes the color, the construction, the portability that comes from folding. She likes the handle. Don’t rest your weight on it. I refuse to use a cane. I think they’re dangerous. As long as you’re standing up straight and you’re putting pressure on the cane in a straight line, a cane is a handy little tool. But if you get off-line or your hand loses its grip for a second suddenly the cane is a liability. You may use a cane. Many people do. But after my experience with back surgery, I would never use a cane if I could use a walker.

This walking cane has been a great purchase. It’s lightweight but feels very sturdy and secure when walking. The foldable design makes it easy to store or take along when traveling, and the standing base is very convenient because it doesn’t fall over easily. The handle is comfortable to grip, and the adjustable height made it simple to customize. Overall, it provides excellent support and stability while still being easy to carry around. Highly recommend for anyone needing extra balance and mobility support.

This is an excellent cane as long as it doesn't fall apart! I just bought my third hurrycane. The other two was purchased for my 87 year old father in July of 2015 and I purchased one for myself in October 2015. Both of those fell apart in November and December of 2016 due to the same equipment failure. It is comprised of 3 parts with an elastic bungee cord snaking up the center that is secured under tension on the top and bottom with a white metal clip. This clip keeps the bungee cord from springing back through holes in the center of the cane and the tension keeps the cane in one piece. When the white metal clip broke, the elastic bungee contracted, slipped though the holes and the cane fell apart! A check with Amazon shows that Hurrycane offers a 100% lifetime guarantee on material and workmanship... in fact I quote the following..."YOUR NEW HURRYCANE® COMES WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY WHICH COVERS ANY DEFECTS IN MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE NORMAL AND INTENDED USE OF YOUR HURRYCANE®. IF YOUR HURRYCANE® IS DAMAGED OR DESTROYED AS A RESULT OF DEFECTS IN ITS MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP, WE WILL AT OUR DISCRETION REPAIR OR REPLACE THE HURRYCANE® WITH A COMPARABLE PRODUCT." Well, I called them up and the lady at Hurrycane told me that she had never heard of this defect and that since I had them more than a year she doubted that they were covered but would refer me to corporate. As yet no calls. I feel that a broken metal clip that holds the entire cane together is a "material" fault and "lifetime warranty" means more then 16 months. My Dad and I are both disabled and never break the canes down into the 3 parts for storage... in fact we both need it all the time just to get around... so it is never used in anyway other then what was intended. As I said, this is a great cane up until the time it falls apart. I will update this if Hurrrycane ever gets back in touch with me. I apologize to HurryCane for not updating my comments in a timely manner. The Company rep did get in touch with me a few weeks after this negative posting and after explaining in detail the problem and pointing out lifetime warranty means just that... for a lifetime... they agreed to replace both broken canes which arrived about 6 weeks after my initial complaint. I'm not sure if my negative feedback had anything to do with it. To date I am still using mine. The 3 rubber feet are starting to collapse and the rubber on the handle is starting to rub off but I consider that normal wear and tear. It still works fine and I am updating my rating to 3 stars. Time for another update. It is 2020 and my replaced Hurrycane from 2017 has worn out... but that's a good thing because it has lasted almost three years with constant, heavy duty daily use. The rubber cups on the bottom are worn to the point where they could slip if I wasn't careful and the soft rubber coating on the handle(which is great) has pieces missing from my constant hard gripping. I'm a big, XXL, formerly athletic guy and I use the cane hard. I have Parkinson's. Neuropathy has partially paralyzed me on my left side with replaced hip and shoulder joints. I have also had 4 major back operations in the last 4 years and have 4 cobalt steel rods adjacent to my spine from my pelvis to just below the neck so trust me when I say that I use the cane hard to keep me upright and walking. Despite this heavy duty daily use, I have not had any additional problems with the bungee cord clip that I had complained about in my initial posting. Bottom line: I replaced my worn out hurricane with another hurricane. I guess buying another one is the best recommendation a person can give and I have upgraded the rating to 5 stars.

Bought it for my mom. At first she wouldn't use it, but now she loves it because it really helps with her balance issues.

Best Cane for my wife

A prima vista mi sembra solido e stabile...prima di questo ne avevo un altro tipo simile che in poco tempo è caduto in mille pezzi nella parte sotto....quindi cercavo ora qualcosa di più robusto...ovviamente è da vedere nel tempo con l'utilizzo ma sicuramente già si percepisce che è più stabile e robusto nel materiale.

Buy one, it’s fantastic.

المنتج جودته ممتازة جدا ومناسب الأوزان حتى ٨٠ كيلو ولايتحمل أوزان ثقيلة للاتكاء عليه. العصا خفيفه ويمكن التحكم في ضبط ارتفاعها وأيضا يمكن وضعها داخل الحقيبة للسفر وغيره.

Le gusto a mi abuelo mucho, se pone de pie solo así que es de gran utilidad para su día a día, recomendado!!
