Hurrycane Walking Cane

Wow, this cane is my new best friend. I highly recommend it. I am waiting for a hip replacement so walking is hard. My HurryCane is adjustable to the right height, is solid and steadying but light weight, is easy to collapse and then snap back into full size. It's also attractive! Because it collapses, it fits into the bag on my walker so I can have it with me when I need to go somewhere without my walker. I love that the base is steady so it can stand on its own where. I can't say how happy I was to have it for a recent trip walking all over Europe. Get this one!

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.

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.

it tilts when left standing on its own. otherwise, its very good. excellent support. different walking than with a standard cane tip. more support, but also awareness re tripping over the larger base

I purchased this for my 89 year old “church Mom” and she was able to assemble it and told me it’s working perfectly. Very durable, good grip, easy to adjust, and not too heavy. She likes that it is able to stand on its own (when it’s on a flat surface). We had to replace her older cane with this one and it is a great value for the money spent. She loves the blue color too!

I love the hurricane! It is lightweight and easy to handle. It is easily adjustable and has a steady bottom 3 prong foot. Great cane!

Worked perfectly! Sturdy and a plus to be able to fold. Perfect for traveling on a plane.

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.

Well made, sturdy, adjustable, and great colour. Dependable brand for mobility assistance. My only complaint is the price increase.

Love the colour! If it does get knocked over when it’s stood up then simply stand on the base and the whole thing stands back upright! Good easy foldable cane. I have used Hurrycane canes for about 4 years and this is my 3rd… I have a red and a purple one and I love the blue one! I like to colour co-ordinate with my outfits… who says you can’t be trendy with a cane :-D Highly recommend. I have had ppl stop me in shops and ask me where I bought it from and I’m more than happy to share the info

Provide stable support in all situations. Very comfortable to use.

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.
