Folding walking stick
Folding walking sticks are easy to carry and can be easily carried when traveling or going out. For those with weak grip strength or small hands, we especially recommend the " SLT (Spring Lock Technology) Folding Walking Stick ," which can be folded easily without exerting force.

As a guide, check whether the product has the "SG mark," which Kind Care's walking sticks have. The SG mark, also known as the "mark of safety and security," is a mark that guarantees safety standards, product certification, and accident compensation.
A walking stick is not just a stick. In some cases, it can be a life-saving tool, so be sure to choose one that has guaranteed functionality and safety.
✔ Match it to your purpose As mentioned in the first half of this column, there are many different types of walking sticks. Please refer to the following to find the walking stick that you need right now.
✔ Adjust to your heightChoose a walking stick that fits your height and body type. You can check the length of the walking stick and the range of length adjustment at the store or on our website.
- For those who want to use a walking stick occasionally when out and about, or for those who want to carry one with them in case of emergency, a folding walking stick is recommended .
- For those who cannot fold their walking stick, or who want to adjust the length daily (to match the height of their shoe heels), we recommend a telescopic walking stick .
- For those who want a more stable walking stick or want to use it as a handrail indoors, we recommend a four-pronged cane .
- A classic and beautiful form, simple and easy to care for, and with just the right amount of flexibility when in use... a single cane is recommended
✔ Adjust to your heightChoose a walking stick that fits your height and body type. You can check the length of the walking stick and the range of length adjustment at the store or on our website.
Guideline for cane length: When standing upright with your arm down, the cane should be as long as the height of the "bone protruding from the little finger side of your wrist." Please also refer to this size guide .
✔ Check the weight If you carry a walking stick for long periods of time or if you want to lighten your load, we recommend a light and durable material. Consider a lightweight carbon telescopic walking stick, which is lighter and stronger than regular aluminum materials. Also, telescopic walking sticks are generally lighter than folding walking sticks. *There are exceptions depending on the grip material, etc.
✔ Try holding the grip. The feel of the cane will change depending on the shape and material of the grip. People with small hands or weak grip strength often find it easier to hold a "slim neck" type cane, which has a narrower area where the fingers grip.
There are a variety of grip materials available, so be sure to find one that fits your hand and is easy to hold.
