Flexyfoot Cork Derby Handle Black Folding 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 Cork Derby Handle Black Folding 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.
Folding Design
This stick features a folding, adjustable design. Not only is does this allow it to become extremely compact for convenient transport, but it allows the cane to be adjusted to achieve an exact fit for the user. A carry bag is also included with the stick for maximum practicality. The Flexyfoot Cork Derby Handle Black Folding Walking Stick comes in a short and a long version, so please make sure to select the appropriate size for you from the drop-down menu above.
Stylish Cork Handle
Extremely stylish yet infinitely comfortable, this stick's cork handle is designed to make your stick feel more like a sporty hiking pole, while retaining the robust weight bearing capability of a walking stick or cane. With smooth and breathable cork moulded onto a structured matte black base, this handle feels wonderful in the hand.
If you prefer a more modern look, the standard version features an equally comfortable ergonomic oval handle.
