I wanted a walking stick that was not only suitably leftfield enough to reflect my style and character but also to be a functional aid and in this Scars Of Gold cane I certainly got that. From a practical standpoint it is lightweight and comfortable yet extremely sturdy from an aesthetic viewpoint it looks great. The ordering process was simple and efficient and I had my cane in a matter of days. It would have been nice to have been able to order the cane with shock absorbing or high performance ferrules already fitted, I have arthritis and will probably struggle without help but that is a minor gripe, if I have to have a walking stick I may as well step out in style, I love my cool cane and will certainly order again in future.
