HurryCane Freedom Edition Foldable Walking Cane with T Handle

The HurryCane is my favorite, all-purpose cane because it is comfortable to grip, lightweight, pivots to make walking more natural, and will stand on its own, with careful placement on select flooring. I own 4 canes, and I've had some experience with them over the years for various injuries, most recently a broken leg. This is the cane I always select when I am going out, to doctor's appointments, etc. The HurryCane folds easily, although you have to be careful; I pinched a finger when I first tried it. Despite the fact that it folds, the HurryCane is very supportive and it does not feel like you are compromising stability for compactness. The only negative is that the HurryCane does not stand up on its own as well as advertised; it will not stand up on gravel or uneven flooring, such as travertine and most carpets. With careful placement, it will stand on level surfaces, such as wood floors and flat tile, but sometimes it still falls over in this setting. However, the ability to have the HurryCane stand alone allows you to use both hands for something else (like finding that item at the bottom of your purse). Another incredibly useful feature is that if it falls, you can carefully stand on the base to make it stand back up. So although the HurryCane doesn't always stand up, it is so handy that it still rates 5 stars.Here is my comparison:The HurryCane is lightweight and comfortable, offering excellent support. It has a comfortable contoured handle. I am 5'2" and it fits my height comfortably, in the lowest setting. I measured and it can be extended ~7" more to accommodate taller individuals. It also comes in more interesting colors, like blue, as compared to other canes. My husband calls it my "Ninja cane," because of the way it folds and unfolds, so it has added a little humor to life as well.I've included a picture of the different canes from the front, as well as an overhead view, so you can better see the base of each cane.Basic cane (shown on left in picture): this was issued by the hospital a few years ago as I was getting out of a wheelchair after pelvic fractures. The candy-cane style hand is moderately comfortable, not as comfortable as the HurryCane, and it's weight is similar. This cane does not offer as much support throughout the gait cycle as the HurryCane; the pivoting action of the HurryCane offers more allows for more natural walking.Self-standing cane (pictured second from the left): this mini-quad cane offers a little more stability than the HurryCane, which has a smaller tripod base. It will stand on some flat carpets and rough floors like travertine, where the HurryCane often will not. It is also about twice as heavy as the HurryCane. I use it the least often. If you need a sit-to stand feature, this cane has one in a compact design. Because of prior shoulder injuries, I do not use it, but if your shoulders can tolerate the weight-bearing of getting up with this, it is a handy feature. This cane also has a small light, which is intended to aid walking in the dark, in one of the handles. Also, there is a small area for storage in the handle, with enough room for a key, emergency money, or a few emergency pills. Overall, unless you need an added feature like the light, storage, or sit-to-stand assistance, I recommend that you spend your money on the HurryCane. This Palo Apallo self-standing cane was purchased on Amazon for ~$50.Quad cane (shown on right): this offers superior stability and I use this when in the yard. Unlike the HurryCane, the quad cane will stand alone on gravel and in the grass, although it occasionally falls over if I place it on an incline. This offers more support than the HurryCane, but feels about twice as heavy. The sit-to-stand option is a helpful feature if you need assistance standing. This HealthSmart sit-to-stand quad cane was also purchased on Amazon for $35.

I had a cane of a somewhat similar design that was finally falling apart. I purchased the Hurrycane as a replacement. I used it yesterday, and it felt more secure than my previous cane. It helped me walk a straight line and helped me keep my balance. Other reviewers noted they had trouble with the cane not wanting to stand on carpet. The carpet in our house is not a particularily fluffy carpet and the cane did not have a problem standing on it. I'm guessign that on more shaggy carpets it might have a problem. My previous cane had a round base and would be prone to "roll" if the cane was leaned against something. I don't think this one will have that problem. It was easy to set up and folds nicely. Since I had good luck with it on the initial use I suspect I will like this cane a lot.

Well constructed and easy to collapse for easy storage when not in use.

I began with a wood cane, the removable tip was good, but if a floor or surface is slippery, it is not safe to use. Nearly fell several times on wet floors. The quad cane is more stable if the four legs don't bend as they do on the Sugarcane. The four rubber feet bend with the whole base so there is less support and more wobble.I purchased 2 different Hurrycane's 4 years apart. I used a quad cane I bought with a rigid base and 4 screw on rubber feet inside the house for years and kept the Hurrycane in my car so I could use it when gone. The quad cane has no replaceable rubber feet and is wearing down. The original Hurrycane has 3 feet and the base is solid enough, but will not stand up on it's own.This new one will stand on its own, on a solid surface, not carpet. The base rotates and both fold up for storage. A nice feature. The new Hurrycane has replaceable rubber feet that are screwed into the bottom. It feels as stable as my other Hurrycane. I find both safer and more user friendly with a solid rubber handle. The Sugarcane I returned for a refund after less than a week of use inside my home only. I just didn't feel safe using it as it rocked to much on the rubber base and the handle felt squishy.I highly recommend the Hurrycane.

Great product. I have seen videos on youtube about the Hurrycane, and it seems to be a very popular product with some nice features, so I ordered one from Amazon. It looks great, and I have neuropathy in my feet, which affects my balance, and with this cane, I can walk around with no balance problems at all. I love it. It won't stand up on a rug, but is fine on tile and wood floors.

Nice, light weight sturdy cane. I hurt a tendon in my knee, so it will be nice once I am healed and won't need this cane it can be folded and put away ready for the next time! Let's just say I am accident prone! It folds up small enough I can store it in a drawer. Unless it is on an rough or uneven surface it will not fall over.

One of the selling points of this cane is that it will stand up on its own. Not true, not true not true. It is very unstable when trying to leave it standing alone. It falls over at least a third of the time. If you have the ability to reach down and pick it up, the other 2/3 that it stands up is nice but if you cannot reach over and pick it up, this could be dangerous for you. Apparently this did not submit. Good thing. I removed the black strap from the cane and it no longer falls over. I am quite happy with it now.

I can not rate this high enough. Im 56 yr old hit with guillian barre syndrome in October of 2024. Im now up and walking, but not without this by my side. Sooo much better than a guad cane and stable than a single point cane. I feel more secure going up and down stairs and uneven surfaces with it.
