If you are having difficulty choosing a stick, it may be helpful to start by considering when you would be using the stick.
Walking in the country This requires a comfortable grip and good balance. Length depends upon personal taste, but a guide would be the height of your first rib from the ground. These sticks are usually used with the 'toe' or adornment facing forwards.
Walking in the town This requires a comfortable handle. The length is usually somewhere between the top of the hip and the inside leg. These sticks are usually used with the 'toe' or adornment facing backwards.
The sticks are normally supplied with metal tips fitted to the requested length, but it is a relatively easy operation to shorten the stick and replace the tip at a later date. Rubber tips can be supplied if preferred - just add your request in the notice box on the order form (after your personal details).
