I thought this would be better than the footed cane. It falls over so you have to have it propped or hold it. It will push down while I am walking and I have almost fallen on several occasions. I paid $48 for it but ended throwing it the trash after only two weeks. This is a RIP off of people who sincerely need stability when they walk or stand. SHAME ON YOU User's recommendation: Not unless they want it to fall over or shut down while they are walking.
