Walking stick/cane for tall people?


My father needs to use a walking stick or cane after a fall last year. He has a good walking stick for day-to-day use, but I'd like to buy him a silver-topped cane for formal occassions.

The problem is that he is tall (6'5") and needs a cane that's at least 40" long. Most suppliers I've found have no canes longer than 37". Does anyone know where I can buy a longer one? Or where I can get one custom-made at a reasonable price?

why dont you just add a 3 inch rubber "skid protector" to the bottom of the cane?

www.ExquisiteCanes.com carries canes for the big/X-tall upto 44" long with rubber tips. Some canes are from Germany and are really nice. Report It

I've seen some pretty long umbrellas. You could try one of those.

Finding an extra tall cane over 37" tall is possible but it does limit the selection. My Uncle is 6' 7" and I was in the same situation when I was trying to find him a cane for my brothers wedding. I found him a beautiful alpaca cane with a wolfs head on it. I had to pay extra and wait about 10 days to have the cane longer than 37 inches. I also had an Ebony wood shaft put on the handle as well. Here is the link to the canes that can be lengthened. http://www.fashionablecanes.com/store/al...
They also have a section dedicated to extra long canes.

I hope this info helps!
