Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought a Hurrycane for my wife because she liked the idea that it would stand by itself. Technically that's true, however it needs to be a hard , level surface and if you bump it at all, like you often might reaching for the cane, it will fall over. Further the shape of the handle doesn't lend itself to hooking it over a chair or even you arm. It does fold but that's nothing special, it's just an internal bungee cord, Unfortunately it won't stay folded unless you put it in the carry bag. So much for it's advertised features, now the really bad stuff. The all terrain feature uses an internal ball joint and a rubber like ring to allow the bottom of the foot to flex and to bring the foot back to level. After about 3- or 4-months use the ring was shredded and would not bring the foot back to level or allow the cane to stand. I finally had to use epoxy to lock the ball join so the cane could be used. The three pads on the bottom of the foot have their own trick. If you really tighten the retaining screw, then the pad will likely pull off leaving the screw behind. If you don't tighten the retaining screw really tight then it will back out. My cure for that was to use super glue on the pad retaining screws. I would replace the foot with a regular foot as you can do with most canes but I can find no way to remove the foot. Bottom line, the Hurrycane is a heavily advertised gimmicky product, save your money. Some followup information. Shortly after writing my initial review the foot of the cane broke completely rendering the cane useless. My wife's new cane has a better handle and the shaft is made from high strength aluminium which make the cane much lighter. It's surprising how heavy the Hurry Cane is in comparison
