If you feel unsteady on your feet and your balance and co-ordination is not what it used to be, then you need some extra help in the form of a walking cane to support you.
Perhaps you have had an operation, illness, or recovering from an injury such as a fall, or you need a walking cane or stick to provide reassurance and confidence when you are walking.
For some people negotiating steps, stairs or uneven surfaces walking outside is difficult without a walking aid to help you.
Thankfully help is at hand. Here at Elderly Falls Prevention we have tested different styles and shapes of walking canes and sticks to find the best products for you.
The Best Walking Canes for Men 2023 come in lots of different shapes, sizes and specifications, so there is a walking cane to suit everyone’s needs.
Wow, you have covered everything even remotely related to walking canes! This is very valuable information for us as we get older. I am not yet in need of one, but I thing I would want a wooden cane that is custom made. Do you have information on where we can get one custom made? We just got my wife’s mom a cane and a walker. I wish I had seen your great information first.
Thanks again for the useful information.
Hi Curtis
Thanks for your comments and I am sorry that you didn’t find us sooner for your wife’s mum. Regarding your enquiry for custom made wooden canes, there are specialist online suppliers who cater for this. I would recommend you try custommade.com who have a good reputation and service.
Thanks again
Mark
I will definitely keep this website in mind. I know someone who will be going for hip surgery in the next couple of months and this is good information. I don’t know if she will be using one, but thank you for sharing this information with us.
Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for such an informative post! My grandfather is 82 years old and will probably be needing a cane in the near future, so I will be bookmarking this web-page for him.
Thanks jessica, I am glad you found the information useful. Please feel free to contact me again in the future if you need any help or advice.
Thanks for the very informative post about walking canes! I don’t need one right now but you never know when you might get a disability and need a walking support.
A stylish wooden cane just seems very classy. It makes me think of a dignified British gentleman in a tweed jacket. That’s what I’m going to get if I ever need one 🙂
Thanks Jukka, I am glad you found the information useful. Yes the wooden canes look stylish and classic. You can step out in style, and if looked after it will last you a lifetime.
All I can say is wow Mark you have really done your research. Myself having a vascular disease might have to go that route sometime. It is amazing the canes you have researched, and the information you have given on each one. You have really done a great job and have touched many hearts when it comes to the elderly your information is easy to find.
Karen, Thank you so much for your kind comments, and I am glad you found walking canes for the men a useful reference point for you for future.
Thanks again.
There is so much more to canes than I thought…wow. This is a great post!
Thanks for your comments Dominique.
Wow, now that really is a comprehensive run down of walking sticks. I never realised there were so many different types or that they have different weight restrictions. Your site makes it so easy to decide on the right stick depending on personal needs.
Thanks Serdinya for your feedback. I am glad that you found walking canes for men helpful for you.
Amazing, this is a well in-depth post for canes and you have covered everything there is to cover. I’m thrilled.
I’ve seen some canes and their upgrades but I never imagined adding Lights to it.
The foldable ones are popular as well as most elderly people I know or have met usually carry them making them look sharp and smart.
Thank you for this informative post, Mark.
Thanks for the feedback Edmond. I am glad you found walking canes for men interesting and informative. PLease feel free to contact me should you ever need any further information and advice, and I will be glad to help.
I have been looking for a new walking cane for my mother and I know this is for men I don’t think women will struggle to use them, lol.
She can walk short distances pretty well but anything further than 200 metres she starts to struggle with her left leg.
The Carex Health one looks pretty unisex and also looks like its very durable, what is the lowest that it will go down to as my mother is only 5 foot 1?
Thanks for the feedback. Many of the mens walking canes can also be easily used for women too. The Carex Health Brands Soft Grip Derby Cane height can be adjusted between 31″ to 40″ so it will be suitable for your mother who is 5′ 1″. If you need any further help or advice please feel free to contact me, and I will be glad to help out.
This is great, I now have a gift for my Dad on his birthday, He fell and hurt his ankle so badly that his leg was placed in a cast for 8 weeks. Since then he has progressed slowly with his rehab and no longer needs a walking frame. I will get him a Everyday Gents Walking Stick Carved Wood Derby Handle Cane, because it looks supportive and will help with his walking. Thank you so much.
Thanks for your comments Mercy. The Everyday Gents Walking Stick should be perfect for your Dad, and I am sure it will help him whilst his leg starts to get stronger, his balance improves and walking becomes easier. Thanks again.
Wow that was a comprehensive post!
I have always wanted a walking cane for myself when I get up there in age. I am going to be that grumpy old man with his cane, picking on the grandchildren.
Nice article and quite enjoyed the read! My dad is getting up there in age so I can see myself coming back here !
Thanks for the feedback Brandon.
I have always loved walking sticks, although I haven’t used one in years. My friend introduced them to me years ago. I’m thinking about buying one for my mom so thanks a lot for the awesome review.
I also love the aluminum cane seat. I had no idea anything like this was available. This would be very handy for my mom as well.
I had no idea accessories, like wrist straps and lights, were available. So fun! Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback Holly. I am glad you found the information useful. If you need any further advice or information for your mum, please let me know and I will be glad to help.
This could be a good read to men who are searching for a walking cane.
Thanks for the feedback Jose, I am glad you found it helpful.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the feedback.I am glad you found the information useful for your grandfather.
Hello Mark,
This is fabulous. A very well-presented article about canes. I loved the Kensington. I will recommend it to my mother of 82-yrs. I found the one with the little stool/seat very interesting.
I am glad that you took the time to explain how to choose the best walking accessory for anyone. It is so important to choose the correct height to help your support and balance.
Thanks so much.
Michelle
