Asterom Walking Cane - Handmade, Ergonomic, Wooden - Canes for Men & Women - Walking Sticks for Seniors, Unique, Wood

Look, nobody wants to become any sort of expert on canes, but the sad truth of the matter is that’s what it’s come to, as far as my life goes. I'm in full time need of a cane… So I can assure you: this is an excellent cane. It is seriously stout and strong (and still amazingly light and completely solid). I’m a big dude, and use it to walk around of course, but I actually need it now to pull my weight up from a chair or couch or back down again, and it supports my full weight as I do this. I can fully trust in this cane to support me even though I weight over two hundred pounds. And on top of that, this cane is crafted in Ukraine, this family business is hanging on through this awful chapter in their history, so when you buy one of his canes, you’re directly helping a Ukrainian man and his family. The last thing I’ll mention is that this type of handle that goes off to one side (as opposed to being centered on the cane) is really the best and most comfortable if you’re going to be using it a lot in supporting your weight. This is an excellent cane and you’ll be extra-pleased with your purchase with the added satisfaction that it’s directly supporting a family business in a war-torn country. It’s strong and functional and beautiful, you can’t go wrong…

Hello! I am 38yo, with years of chronic pain and hypermobility issues. I finally decided it was time to get some balance support. I researched many canes, knowing I wanted something comfortable, light, ergonomic, but also classy; no cheap shiny aluminum for this gal! As soon as I found Asterom I knew I had found my cane. Major bonus- as I saw many reviewers also said- to be supporting a small family business in Ukraine during the war. I even received a Thank You note for supporting them during this incredibly difficult time. I chose the Cherry finish, and it is just as advertised in the photos: rich, deep, gorgeous. I have already been complimented several times on it, and I've only had it for three days! As their instructions advised, I knew I needed it to be shortened. My friend was able to easily hand-saw it down a couple of inches for the perfect fit. Not only is it helping with my hips and balance, it's already helping me re-train my gait; my physical therapist informed me that my arches have fallen, and I have been compensating by curling my little toes in like claws. I had not figured out how to start fixing this problem- now with this beautiful cane I can safely adjust my gait without worrying about falling down. Being perfectly honest here: I have been an Amazon customer since the 90s' when I was young and simply thrilled that I could find rare books on this magical thing called the internet. Over the decades I have purchased hundreds upon hundreds of various items. When I get something I adore, I always feel bad that I am terrible about leaving reviews. This time, what I have received is so life-changing, this is literally the first I have taken the time to write a full review. I want to help people know that this company is great, their product is excellent and just as advertised, the cane is easily shortened, and we get to support a family business during this unbearable time of survival for them. I hope this helps someone choose quality and comfort over other, cheap products. Cheers and thank you Asterom! And who knows, maybe someday I will get one of their gorgeous custom handles. For now, I am thrilled with the product as it is. Oh- info I know I am always looking for in reviews: I am 5'4" (slightly taller with basic shoes), 130lb and we cut the 36" cane down about 2.5" and now it is perfect (as suggested, we matched the lowest part of the handle with my wrist bone at a relaxed stand). Side note- I already managed to drop it on the concrete and the finish is pretty fragile. I lost a tiny bit of the finish and roughened the Oak up a bit on the handle, but my brilliant coworker rubbed some candle wax on the spots and it smoothed out right away. No big deal, just FYI. It does come with a strap, but I hadn't shortened it yet so it slipped right off my small wrist. For now I just taped it to shorten the loop, and eventually will sew it when I know exactly where I want it. Best of luck to the Asterom family and everyone shopping for their forever walking support!

It is very rare for me to take the time to write a review. What can I say that the other reviewers haven't, but I'll mention a few things. I purchased what is described on the manufacturer website as a "saddle cane" in a walnut finish. I was tempted to purchase the "Vesper" ergonomic derby cane handle but I like the elegance and classic look of the one I purchased - crossing my fingers that the ergonomics were good. Success. The feel and grip is great, especially a reverse grip (pointing the handle end forward). I am so impressed with the quality and sturdiness. I was perplexed as to why there was so much talk about the metal ring between the handle and the shaft. This is a cylinder that forms the structural couple between the two wooden pieces. Now I understand. It is quite thick and sturdy. The cane is oak wood but, though it is sturdy, it seems quite light (as other reviewers have noted). Advice to the manufacturer: Add the ring thickness to the description, since it is such a favorite of customers. And, given your superb attention to quality, my suggestion is to add a few exotic woods to your line (if you can get them reliably), but only as long as you don't compromise your manufacturing quality. A cane can be such a personal item, I wish I could thank those who crafted this one. Absent that, please give them a thank you for me.

Handsome cane . Beautiful quality and craftsmanship. Solid wood. Nice handle. I like that we were given a choice of height. The cane is solid wood do not adjustable, obviously. So know how tall your person is. It comes with a spare rubber tip and hand loop. I love that it’s made by a Ukrainian company sponsored by an American company. Very cool.

This is the second Asterom walking Kane I have purchased. Just like my first one which I still have and use it is exceptionally well-made and very strong. The reason I bought the second cane is because I wanted to try a different style and color and I like them both equally. They are actually the best walking canes I have used. Being permanently injured I need a cane when walking for stability. I walk usually 3 miles a day and the two canes I have purchased from Asterom I’ve been the best in minimizing my pain while walking they are extremely stable and their design makes them extremely comfortable to hold. I am very satisfied with this cane and still use my first one as well.

This is a very well made cane. Easy to trim to my length. Seems plenty strong. Looks great. I do recommend!

The item was fine but I found it should have been 1/2 inch shorter. I am writing them hoping they can accomofate me with a snall cut.

Excellent quality, looks as good as is useful. Included a short explanation of how to use and hand placement, important because without that I'd be using it wrong (use on opposite side of injury for example, didn't know that). I used their height chart to select the cane height and it fits perfectly.
