Best Short Walking Sticks 2024

18 January 2024

When you're using a walking stick for support, and not just as a fashion accessory, it's important to pick the right size for your height. If you're not entirely sure how tall your walking stick should be, we suggest you give this Walking Stick Sizing Guide a quick read-through.

The rule of thumb is that the length of a walking stick should match the distance from the bottom of your wrist bone to the ground. If you're of smaller stature, certain canes might be too tall for you to reliably lean on. This is why we've come up with this list of suggestions for the Best Short Walking Sticks that will hopefully help you find the right support for your needs. We've divided our top selections into a few sections to help you find the right stick for you:

Our Favourite Short Wooden Walking Sticks

Wooden walking sticks always make an elegant accessory for both support and fashion, but they can be difficult to find in shorter sizes. Below are some of our favourite short sticks, available in a range of types of wood.

Our Favourite Short Folding Walking Sticks

Folding sticks are the most convenient form of portable support, as they can be stored away in a handbag or backpack to be available whenever needed. Many of these sticks are height adjustable, making them ideal for users looking for a short stick to suit their height. 

 

Our Favourite Height-Adjustable Walking Sticks

Folding sticks are convenient, but given their foldable shaft, they sometimes won't feel quite as steady as a non-folding stick. These next selections are height adjustable with a solid non-folding aluminium shaft, allowing them to cater to shorter users while providing maximum stability.
