This cane is very lightweight and easy to maneuver. Despite its slimness, it's been sturdy. The only criticism I have is that my hand strains and aches after about thirty minutes of continuous gripping on the handle. This is most likely due to the handle being so slim, and my big hands needing to "scrunch" more to fully grasp the handle. When the cane encounters jagged and uneven ground, jabbing into the cracks, the cane sometimes slides through my grip. These are minor gripes. I still love this cane and use it as my main cane. I'm also willing to purchase it again.
