Frequently Asked Questions

What size walking cane should I buy as a gift?

Here's the simplest trick: when the person stands in their regular shoes with arms relaxed at their sides, the top of the walking stick handle should line up with the crease of their wrist. Most of our walking sticks come in a standard 36" length and can be easily cut down to the perfect fit. If you're unsure, go with the standard — it's always easier to shorten than to add length. Check our sizing guide for more details.

Do you offer gift wrapping?

We make sure every walking stick is packaged beautifully and arrives ready to give. If you have special requests for your order, drop us a note at checkout and we'll do everything we can to make it happen.

What's the best walking cane for a first-time user?

For someone new to carrying a walking stick, we recommend starting with a Fritz or Derby handle — both offer an incredibly natural, comfortable grip right out of the box. The Ladies First Choice Fritz and the Carbon Fiber Soft Touch Derby are two of our most popular picks for first-timers. Light, balanced, and easy to love from day one.

Can I return a walking cane gift?

Absolutely. We want every gift to be the right one. If it's not a perfect match, we accept returns on unused walking sticks in their original condition. Check our return policy for full details — we make it easy because your confidence in the gift matters as much as ours.
