Oh yes, they're marvellous things. I have a few by now.
1. My crook-handled wooden stick, scorched chestnut I think. It's the easiest to sling over my wrist when I need to use both hands, but I'm not quite sure whether it's the most comfortable handle. There's not much in it, anyway. Very elegant, though it's neither adjustable nor folding.
2. My bronze five-part folding stick with a derby handle. Nice and lightweight, and fits easily into handbags. Being able to put your stick away when you're out is really, really useful. The derby is possibly the more comfortable handle, and it is reasonably easy to sling onto a wrist. I also have a wrist strap on this one, and it's height adjustable. That's useful on the rare occasions when I wear heels. Like other five-part sticks, it's slimline, which is nice as I'm quite petite.
3. My paisley four-part folding stick, also adjustable, derby handle, wrist strap, and in this case I put a Flexyfoot ferrule on it. This one is new and exceedingly snazzy. It's from
Phoenix Walking Sticks, if anyone is interested, and it looks a lot nicer in person. Also not particularly paisleyish, to be honest. It's gold and bronze and bits of green, gold and blue on a black background.
Go and try out sticks, and think about what height you want. It may not be the height that's recommended. People always say the handle should be the height of your wrist-bone, and for me that's far too low, as it is for some of my friends. Try out different handles, see what's most comfortable. Remember that ergonomic grip ones only work with one hand, so if you're going to keep switching the stick around depending on what the pavement is like or what have you, that won't work. And definitely remember that you don't have to get a grey aluminium-and-plastic hospital job! There are loads of really attractive sticks out there, and it makes you feel far more confident about using them.
