Ambulists, or collectors of walking sticks can never have too many novelty sticks. Greatly beloved of interior designers for hall pots, collectors' sticks are unusual, sometimes whimsical and always treasured.

If the owner actually uses the stick, it often becomes an object of interest. The endearing green frog stick for example, will frequently cause passers by to stop and ask the user where he or she came by such a thing.

To measure someone for a walking stick, ask them to stand with their weight evenly on both feet, looking straight ahead and with their arms relaxed by their sides. You then need to measure from the floor to the prominent bone of the wrist. This is the length of walking stick required. Please note this is just a rule of thumb. If the person has special needs, they may need to be measured by a medical professional. Alternatively they may have personal preferences for a longer or shorter walking stick.

These are collector's canes, they need to be handled with care. Collector's canes are not designed for orthopaedic use. If dropped on a hard surface, the resin heads will shatter. We will not issue refunds for damaged heads.
