 Leki Wanderfreund Pole (Cane) March 6, 2010
Beverly Lee (Honolulu, HI USA)
This is an excellent cane. My only wish: That the cane could be collapsed into a shorter length for more ease in travelling. I had all the information I needed before ordering. The cane is very light and strong. I recommend this cane without reservation.
 Very pleasing product March 5, 2010

This product is very easy to adjust to size. It was a little hard to figure out how the hand strap works--seems like it should be placed differently as it can be awkward to use--gets in the way of one's grip. If you don't want the rubber tip on I guess you have to put it in your pocket or leave it at home as there is nowhere to put it. The steel tip works well on ice and snow. I'm glad I purchased this item.

Bought a pair for walkers in their 70s, got one for a post-polio relative, sent a pair to daughter and son in law who are major hikers, rock climbers, and mountain buffs and got one for me to assist me in my occasional battle with gout. Everybody is happy with the product because we are "trekking" instead of toddling. Several friends ordered one as soon as they saw ours. My research paid off this time.
I have come to rely heavily on Amazon ratings and reviews as well as their reliable and economical sales. Amazon is a major resource for me and mine.
 As a cane for PWDs December 20, 2009

PROS:
Lightweight
CONS:
The cork pivot which is supposed to provide the anti-shock function broke down after about a month.
The pavement cane tip is useless if there is any moisture on the pavement/floor.
Hard to find a replacement tip. After I wore through the first one, I had to use gorilla glue to get one from another manufacturer to stick.
Try another pole.
Excellent choice, but not in wet conditions November 2, 2009

I needed an aid after hip replacement surgery and decided to go for the "Wanderfreund" because it'll still be useful as a hiking stick after I no longer need a cane. It has a great look, doesn't scream "geriatric". I like the interestingly shaped cork grip and the fact that it can be telescoped into a very short length if desired. Be cautious, however, if you need to use the rubber tip in wet conditions, as it slips horribly. It has a rounded shape and very little surface area actually touches the ground. It would probably be fine if I could take off the rubber cap and rely on the spike, but that's not an option in the supermarket.
