Hugo 731-850 Adjustable Quad Walking Cane, Black

I was already having balance problems due to a foot surgery when I had a stroke that affected the other side of my body. I determined that a quad cane would be the best for me as I was ready to transition from a walker, my physical therapist agreed.Honestly I chose this cane, the rose one, mainly because it could be delivered next day at that time. I liked it so much that I purchased the black one later when I returned to work so I could keep one there.They are both very stable and stand well on their own, no rattles or wobbles. The grips are great and fit my hand perfectly. I am 5'10" and they are adjusted a little higher than recommended, but that is what is comfortable for me. So as you can see in the photo it can accommodate people who are a little over 6 foot and those just over 5 foot.I personally have not noticed the weight of the cane but the base did take a bit of getting used to, at first I would occasionally step on the tip at the rear corner.The only issue I have had with either cane is that the base of the black one is a couple of degrees off of square but this has not affected usability at all.I cannot attest to the 300# weight limit but there have been occasions when the canes have primarily supported my 205 pounds and kept me from falling when I have lost my balance.

My elderly FIL has had a basic cane forever and we were worried because his mobility and balance are going downhill fast. It just wasn’t safe anymore for his needs. I bought him this quad cane and he’s pretty stubborn about change so I wondered if he’d actually use it. After a few days of it just sitting there he tried it out and uses it every time he walks now. He really likes the ergonomic handle and that it stands on its own. He has even managed to attach his catheter bag to it so he has less burden when getting around.The only thing to note is when switching from a basic pole cane to a quad bottom, there is a bit of a chance to trip on the legs if you’re not used to it or if going up or down stairs. Note that all four legs need to be on the stairs for safety.I just told him to be mindful that he doesn’t trip on the extra legs and he’s doing really well with it. It’s been a month and no issues!

We have tried approximately five different types of canes including so-called quad chains with rubber tips and a variety of handles. This cane is 1) Adjustable to a higher height to avoid hunching forward, 2) has a large handle that can be used as an arm rest while walking or stopping. Very stable four separate metal feet each with a rubber foot cap that permits the cane to stand erect on its own. We have tried canes recommended by professional physical therapist which were not as good as this model. Excellent value in the basic color. We have three around the house. Excellent mobility assistance device!

I'm only giving 4 stars because I've only just started using the cane. I bought a quad cane because they're supposed to stand up on their own, and guess what? They are not going to fight you if you try to knock them over. Who knew? You may have to pick up your cane on a wonky leg from time to time. It's very stable, and it helps me stay stable. My physical therapist had me practising with a regular cane and my wrist kept giving out. I don't know what that's all about, but this is definitely more secure. I was in some kind of cast or another for 12 weeks, and I have to learn how to walk again. Security is more important to me than speed; I hope not to be using a cane much longer. It's probably a different decision for someone who expects to be using a cane permanently. At any rate mini quads are lighter and the therefore supposedly faster. I'd rather have a cane that stands on it's own (I'm constantly dropping things.) I do recommend getting a quad cane with a smaller base (like this one) because you can take on stairs safely. This one even stands politely in the corner waiting for me (how considerate:)So think about what you need in a cane. You can Google it and get all the pros and cons, and now you know my opinion, too.More specifically to this cane, so far it's what I expected. I read 3 different reviews. Though they didn't agree as to the #1 most recommended cane, they all included this one in their top 5 or so. And it's the only one they did.Oh, and this one comes with it's own name. I like my Hugo!

This is my first quad cane, which I needed after multiple surgeries on my legs in the past few years, resulting in significant instability. I didn't really know what I needed in a cane, nor what to expect when I used it. I purchased this one solely based on the size of the quad part, as it looked a little smaller than some. I have two flights of stairs in my home, and I needed a cane that would fit on these steps. This cane completely fit everything I needed. It is sturdy and not heavy, but not so lightweight that it feels like it's not going to stand up to supporting my weight. The base and feet fit very well on the stairs, giving me the ability to climb them with less worry about falling. I will be ordering another one soon to keep at my office for when I go back to work. It is a great quad cane, and for the price, it cannot be beat.

I tweaked my calf and needed a little help standing from a seated position. I’m 5’4” and this cane in its lowest position was perfect for that need. I only needed to use it for a couple of weeks, but it saved me from some pain.

My husband doesn't like soft foam handles so I purchased this cane. He says it's very comfortable on his hand. Very well made and adjustable.

Only expect it to last a few months. I have had 3 of these canes fail at the base. The welds are poor quality. I know when the welds break as the cane starts squeaking.
