Most of our walking sticks can be used by just about anyone, but some are particularly suited in style or shape to men or women. This next selection of folding walking sticks are particularly popular with the ladies in our customer base, and receive rave reviews again and again!
Just as many of our walking sticks are particularly popular with women in our reviews, many are raved about by the men of the walking stick world. Here, we'll provide you with some of the top choices among gentlemen, used for everything from matching an outfit to a night on the town!
Height-Adjustable Folding Black Aluminium and Wooden Crook Handle Walking Stick
Just because a folding stick is convenient doesn't mean it has to bring down your formal look. Our formal folding walking sticks are available in subtle and elegant designs to complement even the most fashionable of outfits.
While walking stick handles are designed to be comfortable to hold for the majority of hands, some people with smaller hands will prefer a smaller size, which often goes along with short adjustable height option. These petite folding walking sticks feature slim designs to fit into the hands of smaller users.
Some of the firmer, more rigid handles can put a lot of strain on the hands and wrists, which is particularly problematic for those with arthritis or weak wrists. Ergonomic handles spread your weight and reduce wrist strain, making them ideal for long hours of use or heavier users.

Why Choose a Folding Cane?
Folding walking sticks are excellent for virtually any environment and activity, as they can be stowed away into a small bag or pouch when not needed. This means that you won't have to carry a burdensome stick around with you for hours on end, and can instead enjoy the use of both of your hands when you need to. Conversely, you can easily pull the stick out and enjoy comfort and support when you start to feel tired.
