Extra Tall Fritz Folding Adjustable Walking Stick (39-43")
Tall. Folding. Unstoppable.
Finding a walking cane over 36" is hard enough. Finding one that FOLDS for travel? Nearly impossible. The Extra Tall Fritz is built specifically for taller individuals who refuse to hunch over a standard cane or sacrifice portability. At 39-43" adjustable, it fits people 6'0" to 6'6" perfectly — and it folds down compact enough to toss in a carry-on, backpack, or car door pocket.
The Fritz handle is one of the most comfortable designs ever made — that signature curved top distributes your grip naturally across your palm, eliminating pressure points even on long days. The black aluminum shaft is lightweight but rock solid, and the adjustable height means you dial in the exact fit for your body. No cutting, no guessing. Just click, extend, and go.

Why Tall People Love This Cane
Most walking canes max out at 36-37". If you're over 6 feet tall, that means hunching, leaning, and an uncomfortable walking position. The Extra Tall Fritz eliminates that problem entirely. At up to 43", it reaches your wrist crease the way a cane should — straight spine, relaxed shoulders, natural stride. See our full sizing guide →

Whether you're navigating an airport, exploring a new city, or just keeping one in the car for when you need it, this is the cane that goes everywhere you do.

What's the difference between a Fritz handle and a Derby handle?
