Bariatric Walking Stick Choices

Have you looked here ... some of their canes are rated up to 500 lbs.

Thanks for the link. I had looked at, and liked very much their Dymondwood stick but they rate it "For those weighing between 295 and 500 lbs!" and sadly I exceed that limit by a considerable amount.

Re-evaluating this issue a few months later I think the CS Pistol Grip City Stick may be the next option to try.

Trying before buying would be the way to go but I only have online shopping due to the very issue of not being mobile ...a real Catch 22 if there was ever one!:(
 
Don't bother buying the CS City Sticks in any variant. I've played with one (the ball-top) and at 230# I find it flexes with my weight. I might fight with one, but wouldn't rely on one for support at all. Sounds like your current stick is what you need to keep using.

At last, info from someone who has had 'hands-on' experience. :D

Sincere thanks for your reply as it means that finally the CS City Stick is off the list. and puts my mind at rest. :) :thumbup:

Despite its reliable service I still would like choice of sticks, if for no other reason that just as with knives, one likes a change every now and then in EDC. ;)
 
Sorry to cloud the issue, but I have one with the stainless ball top, and haven't noticed any flex. I am 320lbs and use it when my knee goes out.
 
Just invest the $3.49 at the drugstore for a decent tip, the one it comes with is way slick.

No sarcasm here, seriously: I'm happy you got one that worked out. The one I tried on for size at a gun show had an unacceptable tendency to flex. I should have expected that as a Livesay-branded heavy show stick (similar to this) also had too much flex. The show stick was a lot sturdier than the CS.
