Hot Fashions in Walking Canes: Exotic to Practical

A Review of Three Walking Cane Companies

Jean Riva
A walking cane might be a necessary part of your life but it doesn't have to be boring or dull. With a click of your mouse you can find an exact replica of the famous, flame walking cane used by Dr Gregory House from the Emmy award winning TV show House, MD and thousands of other hot, fashionable walking canes. Do you want something in a walking cane that is elegant, exotic, rhinestone embedded, pearlescent or sports themed? Would you like a walking cane with a flask, umbrella or sword hidden inside? You can get them all in one place along with walking canes with inlaid military or organization emblems on the handles. Whether you're looking for a practical quad walking cane made of anodized aluminum in hot colors and patterns or something as rare as a walking cane made out of a genuine bull penis, Fashionable Canes and Walking Sticks is the place to go. They have the largest selection of walking canes available in the world.

Just browsing the Fashionable Canes and Walking Sticks web catalog is fun. You'll find stylish exotic wood canes decorated with pewter, faux scrimshaw or a menagerie of animals. You'll find licensed museum replicas available in 14 carat gold or sterling silver in the art style of Renaissance Paris. Even more fun to browse is their selection of gadget and spy walking canes. Another favorite is a hollow tube walking cane that comes with changeable inserts for fashion conscious women. On the practical side, they offer walking canes with special handles for arthritic hands, patterned tri-pod canes, blind sensing walking canes, canes that are ice gripping, and extra strength canes. They also carry flashlight walking canes and cane/chair combinations.

When you think you've seen the best quality canes in the world at the above company, check out the breath-taking cast sculptures used for handles on walking canes and sticks from Boris Paltnik's Art.Their walking canes are functional works of art made of silver, Rosewood, Ebony, Cocobolo and Ironwood. Made with the skill of artisans and jewelry smiths, the aesthetics of these elegant walking canes will make you forget they are also anatomically comfortable and serve the medical needs for which they are intended.

A third walking cane company to check out if you're looking for something truly unique is Wilson Staffs Walking Sticks. Ivan Wilson is a master wood carver who makes custom walking canes and sticks in the form of colorful pets, wildlife, farm animals, mythical themes, Hollywood and non-fiction characters, sports themes, and fraternal organization emblems. Each cane is a one-of-a-kind, mini work of art that anyone would be proud to own.

If you use a walking cane there is no reason to be limited by the selection of canes at your local drug store or to be stuck with a boring insurance issue model. Check out these three companies and find something that reflects your personality.
