Flexyfoot Blue Telescopic Walking Stick
If you suffer from mobility issues, a walking stick can be a fantastic addition to your daily life, enabling you to complete a number of tasks that would be otherwise impossible. However, continuous use of walking sticks can have its own drawbacks, including upper body discomfort and the risk of slipping on rough terrain.
The Flexyfoot Blue Telescopic Walking Stick is fitted with a Flexyfoot ferrule as standard. This unique flexible design absorbs shock while remaining in full contact with the ground, making it significantly safer and more comfortable to use than a standard stick.

Shock Absorption
Traditional ferrules (the caps on the bottom of sticks) do not absorb the shock which is generated every time the walking stick touches the ground, which then travels through the hand and arm, leading to fatigue and discomfort. The Flexyfoot Standard Ferrule's uniquely designed bellows absorb shock, which in turn can help relieve this pain.
This shock absorption is ideal for people that are suffering from elbow and shoulder pain as a result of using crutches or other walking aids. The Flexyfoot features two parts: a collar and a pleated bellows. The bellows act like a spring to absorb shock, meaning less is transferred to your body compared to traditional rubber ferrules.
Designed for Rough Terrain
Because the bellows make the ferrule flexible, the Flexyfoot will stay in contact with the ground even over rough terrain, providing excellent grip. This can help make you feel more comfortable and secure on wet or shiny surfaces and allow you to lead a more active lifestyle.
Adjustable Design
This stick is easily height adjustable via a telescopic design. This means it can be modified to achieve a perfect fit for the user in order to attain correct gait and functional motion.
Unique Oval Handle
The Flexyfoot Blue Telescopic Stick features a unique oval handle that offers a soft grip as well as an ergonomic design that improves comfort and stability. Crafted to spread the forces over a wide area of the hand to reduce stress and impact, it is reminiscent of a Fischer style handle but with the benefit of being able to be used in either hand. The handle has also been designed so that your weight sits directly over the stick rather than being offset, keeping the wrist and hand in a neutral position to reduce strain and injury.
If you prefer a more traditional look, an equally comfortable cork Derby handle version is available.
