the legs don't look symmetrical on this cane... does this effect the why to hold it?

not very sturdy. my dad goes to my house then my brothers and bought another cane to have at my ouse. His other cane the feet are wider, this one I was very disappointed in but did not return because shipping would be too expensive

No. You don't have to, but you can if you want. I'm pretty sure it's meant to sit w/o straddling the cane.

Hello Mrs. Coleman - This cane was given as a present to my uncle who resides in another state. From the feedback, he truly is quite pleased with the cane. That is all I know at this juncture. Sorry I could not be of more assistance. Best regards, Dame Hilda Van Winkle

It's not that heavy. You need some weight to make it stand alone and balance the cane.Hope this helps.

No! This cane is great. I bought it after my hip surgery, and used it for 2 months and never had a single problem with it at all. And the grip handle made it sturdy and very comfortable to use.

Maryann, I went to www.hurrycane.com; spoke with the guy who answered the phone about the problems with the feet. They sent me a whole new cane. I hope this help. Bob

No it does not. I purchased another offset to put on another cane - I now have 2 canes. Very pleased.

The Hugo people told me to stand on it and twist, that it would turn then. I did not do that thought, I seems as if that might break it. I did not like several things about this cane and I returned it to Amazon.I purchased a different brand, from Amazon [a Medline.]

It depends on the cane. I have one on mine. It is not folding. Like it a lot . I say buy it try it. Youl like it.

First of all the tip should not wobble but fit snugly, always! Otherwise it can give you a false sense of security and not be able to give you the support you should have. I took my cane overseas last year and will again this year since it still is like new. I love the way it stands by itself.

Depends on the mattress and box spring but mine was not stable where the cane was attached to the base so I returned it. My husband had Parkinsons and the style of the bed cane would have made it even harder for him to get in and out of bed.

I never noticed clicking from my dad's cane. This cane is adjustable, so maybe it's not completely "set" at the point where it clicks into place or something is loose within that mechanism. Might be worth a quick check just in case.

You're not doing anything wrong. Some of them come uneven. I need to prop one leg up with a book to keep it level. I really should have returned it, but it seemed too much trouble to do that.

one would need to measure it exactly and saw off the length and re-attach the rubber tip...that is probably the drawback, everything else about that cane is wonderful....comfortable, sturdy and looks good.

Had the same trouble but I have a collection of canes and thus found a good one that was the correct diameter. Please remember it must be snug and not wobble. Would suggest you measure the diameter of your cane and match it to the inside diameter of the rubber tip. You might try your local hardware store and perhaps they might have some removal suggestions.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but where the cane goes into this is maybe a little more than 2 inches. That's in the middle. it took my son to push the cane into it- he's strong and I am not The cane works great with it and if it falls over, just step on one of the sides or feet of it and it springs up for you to use! Hope this helps.

I'm petty sure it is for stability. When put down it snaps onto the other side/leg and then with the person's weight it stabilizes it. I hope this helps.
