Vive Quad Cane - Walking Stick for Men and Women - Lightweight Adjustable Staff - Comfortable Right and Left Hand Grip for Stability Support - Four Prong Sturdy Aluminum Travel Aid - 4 Tip Black

this is the best cane I've ever had. It's also the easiest to adjust than I've ever had, and I have arthritis. The colors can scratch, so I'm careful with it. But frankly, if it's scratched all over, it would still be the best cane I've ever had. And as an added big benefit, it's super lightweight and I can even hold it when I'm walking if I need to. Most quad cans cannot do that. And oddly it's off center with the cane itself and that keeps it totally straight and upright. So glad I found it

I bought this cane for my elderly mother in March 2018. She sometimes used it when she went out, but she didn't use it in the house. Fast-forward to April/May 2019, she was diagnosed with strep pneumonia that turned septic shock, and she begin walking very unstably. In addition to using the cane when she went out, she began using it in the hospital, the skilled care facility, and presently in her home. It's been a great cane and she really likes the blue color. She's used it so much, lately, that she wore down one of the tips to the metal, and the metal is now exposed and slightly rough due to her dragging it. It would be great if the rubber tips were stronger and lasted longer - is my only complaint about the cane. I called Vive Health and asked if I could purchase cane tips and Grê helped me with such excellent and friendly assistance. She asked me for my order number, and since Amazon is an authorized distributor for them, she was able to look up my order number. She asked me if I registered for the Lifetime Warranty, and I hadn't, so she graciously offered to do it for me. Then, I received an email confirmation that my warranty was activated. She placed an order for four tips for the cane and said they would come free-of-charge, under the Lifetime Guarantee, to my mother's address, where I originally had the cane delivered. I am very impressed with not only the quality of the cane - but that Vive Health has such an excellent warranty - that they honor, and that Grê provided me the knowledge of my warranty, and have the four cane tips shipped to me, FOC. Thank you so much, Vive Health, and thank you for hiring people who care. :-)

The most sturdy of canes we have tried. My husband is recovering from a stem cell transplant, and this can has helped him become more steady on his feet. You can feel the sturdiness in the cane the moment you take it out of the box.Adjusting the height is simple, and the screw adjustment is much more reliable than the twist kind without the screw knob). Probably the wrong term, bu you can see from the picture on their listing.The base of the cane is great, no more worrying about it falling over, and then having an already unsteady person try and pick it up.It has proven useful walking to the car, through the hospital and around the house.While I look forward to the day we don't need it, I am grateful we have it now. We will keep it for future use if/when needed.I think this would be a great cane for the elderly too, because of the solid and wider base.

Purchased this for my Nana who was previously using the "hurrycane" - that cane spent more time on the floor than anything else. I never felt secure in her using it and despite what they say it does NOT stand alone. Nevertheless, this cane is great! Super stable. Was a little awkward to get used to and it is a little heavier but she has adjusted well and never forgets to use it! Definitely worth a try for preventive ambulation assistance.

I've been using this Vive quad cane daily for a month and like it very much. It is lightweight and stands up by itself on a level surface. The base is 5"x8.5" - large enough to provide stability but not heavy or clunky-looking. The hand grip is a smoothe, firm material that is washable and comfortable on my hand ( I prefer it to the foam-type grips which cannot be washed clean). I got the blue and it is very pretty. The blue finish can get scratched by sharp objects so be careful.

Working well

A very sturdy cane

UPDATED REVIEW 9/2/19:I have to drastically revise my original review from 5 stars to 1 star. While initially the cane seemed solid and strong, 15 months in, the aluminum proved to be thinner than first thought. The only thing I can figure is that the metal, gradually and invisibly, fatigued over time due to aluminum of inferior quality being used. I am somewhat heavy but under 200 lbs. and did nothing that should have caused the two inner feet on the base to bend. I have had many canes and have never had one bend on me, never. Last night, however, when I walked into my garage, the cane suddenly and unexpectedly went out from under me with no warning whatsoever. As I result, I took a hard fall on my cement garage floor. Not an experience that I care to repeat, I assure you! Given bad balance and limited strength, it took me ten minutes to get myself up off the floor. Luckily, I only suffered a bruise or two. But the metal never should have failed like this. And, given the fact that I used the cane very sparingly only for occasional situations where I couldn't use my walker, users that use this cane on a frequent basis need to beware. If I had used the cane more frequently or on a daily basis, it would have likely failed a lot sooner than after 15 months. Because of this incident, I will never buy another Vive walking aid of any kind; inferior materials and dangerous for long term/heavy use. I could have been hurt far worse than I was. Thank goodness it turned out as well as it did.ORIGINAL REVIEW:A solid, supportive quad cane which it considerably more stabilizing than a standard cane. It's got enough heft as not to feel flimsy yet still lightweight enough not to be cumbersome when in use. The curved handle along with a comfortable grip are a plus which add to the user's overall balance when walking. It came well packed and was delivered promptly.
