Does it raise the cane height? I want to have a cane cut and don't know if I need to include this tip in the measurement?

It raises it about 2". Mine is an adjustable cane and I had to move a notch or it would have been too high.

Yes, the length of an adjustable single point cane can be adjusted. The correct length of any walking device is - the handle of the cane/walker should be at your wrist level when you stand up straight and dangle you arm on your side. (I am a licensed Physical Therapist)

No. And the cane tip didn't fit any of the canes of our 3 elderly relatives. Too large for some, too small for others.

All I know is it didn't fit my cane. Mine doesn't fold up but my cane was smaller than the hole so I couldn't use it. So far I haven't found one that did. I'm sorry I can't give you an answer I just don't know. But I was able to return it. Good luck

Kathryn,I am 5'9" and needed to cut the cane down a bit. It's a great cane. Buy it!

They are variable. Stand against a wall and crick your wrist upward; mark wall where wrist bone meets the wall. This is your adjust point on the cane which will give you an ideal wrist to cane. So it goes with your height; level mark and top of cane handle, adjust with spacer holes and voila, you are there.

I am sorry but I do not have my cane with me at the moment. There are adjustments. I am 5'7" and I know it is not fully extended. I hope this helps.

It is not a typical tip, I think. It is black "rubber", but has a small phillips screw holding it to the metal cane. The very tip of the cane's rubber tip is larger than a nickel, but then it widens out, to make a wider tip, then narrows in again, snuggly to the cane itself. A replacement tip would look different, but might work, if original ever wore out. I have not used mine enough to need to replace tip. You could take cane to store that sells tips, and eye-ball which size would be most likely a good fit?? The side support "canes" for the seat, have slanted tips, so they sit flat when the chair is opened out. When closed, those slanted tips are shorter than the main cane, so you are not walking with all the tips hitting the ground at the same time. Just the main cane is hitting the ground when you walk around. Hope this helps.

I replaced the OEM tips with 3/4 inch cane tips before ever using the cane/chair. The larger surface area of the cane tips help prevent the chair from sinking into soft ground. I bought the chair to play guitar at an outdoor gathering and had to sit on a corner away from the handle as it poked right up through the space where the guitar needed to be. I was very stable and happy with the chair. I weigh 210 pounds. With clothes and guitar added, the chair still provided a firm platform.

My cane is 3/4 " , the standard Walmart cane. Are you sure you have 1/2" ?The tip is so good I would wrap a 1/2 " with black duct tape and put it on the tip.

I have to use 2 "metal" canes and it can and does do this >> floor does need to be level for the stand up alone to work. There is no way to describe the difference in stability between this tip on the floor vs.the usual 1" or so diameter of the usual cane tip other than after you have used it. You have more "traction" on the ground and the bottom of the cane tip is well designed for this. mor e

I haven't measured the settings but I'm 6' 2" tall and the settings worked for me. It should work for shorter settings as well. I should tell you that the handle was a problem with extended use. It is a "T" shaped handle and I found it chaffed on my fingers with extended use. I now prefer a "U" shaped handle in which there is no stem that goes between your fingers. Aside from that the cane was excellent.

I measured the outside as 1 inch across and the inside as 3/4 inch across. . This is the actual cane tip. The tripod tips are special slanted tips so I assume those would have to be ordered special from the manufacturer. Also note that the cane tip is hard rubber and secured on with a screw.

The cane is very adjustible - not only is your own height a factor, but your preference in how far you want to lean down. My husband prefers to set it so he can stand fairly erect.

Just insert the bottom of the cane into the hole of the tip. It's pretty easy to do.

My order was for a cane that was cut to my height so I did not have to remove a old one. But if your removing a tip it must be worn out so just cut it off. Run a sharp knife down it's side. You get that top part loose and you can work it off.

No. It's a standard straight cane tip at the base. Very sturdy, and my wife gets a lot of compliments on the floral design.
