Sizing Your Cane

How to Properly Measure and Size Your Cane
By H Keith Melton, President of Cane Masters LLC

Anatomical dimensions may vary, even among individuals of the same height. To receive the most benefit from your cane, it is essential that it be properly sized for your body. If your cane is too long, or too short, it may not provide the necessary support and stability of a cane that is properly sized.

Both methods of sizing your cane (below) assume that you are wearing your standard footwear. Depending on their design, your boots or shoes will add an inch or more to your overall cane length.

For an accurate measurement of your cane’s optimum length, do the following:

1. Stand with your back flat to a wall while wearing your everyday walking shoes,

2. Stand upright, relax your shoulders, and allow your arms to hang with a natural bend (about 15 degrees) at the elbow,

3. Have a second person measure the distance from your wrist joint (between your wrist and forearm) to the floor with a tape measure or yardstick. Note: if you perform this measurement on yourself, it will be inaccurate! The process of reaching across your body to measure yourself destroys the validity of the measurement,

4.Round up the measurement to the nearest ½ inch, and then add an ½”.

If you don't have a second person to aid you in determining the proper measurement for your cane, there is another method:

1. Measure your height when wearing your standard walking shoes. Convert your height into inches.For example, if you are 5’ 10” in your shoes, your height is 70 inches.

2. Divide by two and then add ½ inch to determine your approximate cane size.In our example, if you are 70 inches tall (5’ 10”), your approximate cane size would be 35” plus ½”= 35.5 inches. If you were 64” tall (5’ 4”), your estimated cane length would be 32” plus ½” = 32.5”.

3. This method is usually accurate within one inch of your proper length.

When your cane is properly sized, and you are standing in your walking shoes, the top of your cane should align with your wrist joint.

It you are uncertain of your measurement, always err by making your cane longer. It's a lot easier to cut a cane that is too long, than it is to stretch a cane that is too short! Note: Canes with copper tips (ferrules) cannot be shortened. Be certain of your length before adding a copper tip to your cane order.

Just received my new cane and I really like it! I can put my full weight on it and it has great support! I feel a lot safer. The first time I was out using it at the farmers market for the first time and was asked if it was a cane master,he had one also!

Shadow Hawk Review

Completely satisfied with my Shadow Hawk cane. It provides outstanding comfort and support. I do not see myself going back to any drug store cane. Hope to save up enough for a 2nd cane in the near future.

My new favorite

This is my fourth Cane Master cane. I love them all but the first three were 1” canes and I love them, but this 7/8” Dojo trainer is beautiful and lightweight. It also still hits like a brick. There will be more of these in my future!!!

7/8 Octagonal Dojo Training Walking Cane
dojo canes

I have the 1" round and 7/8" octagon dojo canes. I use them mostly for support and they fit that bill perfectly. the round cane is robust and made of hickory while the 0ctagon 7/8" is oak and much lighter. They have both help me to get around alot better and look good doing it. My next cane will have a palm rest which should help even more.

Starter cane

Bought it to get started. Price is right. Quality is excellent….no reason why it can’t be a daily carry. Will buy another in time.

WHAT A GREAT COMPANY

I love my custom made cane from Cane Masters. Love that my cane was made in the USA. Right here in S FLA. The cane I received is a masterpiece of American craftsmanship. Their customer service is a throwback to 1950's customer care. At the last minute I asked for an expedited delivery because I was going on vacation and they made it happen. They responded immediately to each email I sent to them. You will not be disappointed in their product or their service.

How long does it take for my cane to be produced?

All of our canes are fully customized. It takes roughly two weeks for us to cut the cane, sand, stain and finish the cane before we get it ready to ship.

How much do the different wood types Weigh?

Weight will slightly differ from cane to cane. That being said, our canes weigh between 1.6lbs and 2.6lbs with Oak 7/8" being at the bottom of the range and Octagonal Thumper Stock Hickory and Octagonal Pure Hickory Heart being at the Heavier end of that range.

What wood type is the strongest?

We look at strength of wood types by the density of the wood. We can calculate it by looking at its specific gravity — dividing the weight of a volume of the wood by the same water volume. A higher number usually means that it is a denser and more robust wood. The number is most useful as a comparison between different species of woods.

- Hickory has a specific gravity of 0.7
- Oak has a specific gravity of between 0.63 and 0.68.

What is the benefit of a Palm Rest?

The Palm rest is a big benefit because it allows you to distribute weight throughout the cane while utilizing it. For people with a back pain, arthritis, bad knees or hips can find a lot of benefit by finding better comfort while using the cane.

Does the Octagonal cane have an Octagonal Crook?

No. The crooks on octagonal canes have a round crook.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes we ship worldwide. You will be able to find international shipping rates at checkout.

What Shipping Carriers do you offer?

UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL.
