Tyler,
You have to have a local retailer that sells disabled supplies such as
wheelchairs, walkers, and canes. I walk with two four pronged canes. They
last a long time if you keep them out of car doors. I suggest also that you
do not leave them in back of my wife's car - similar results.
The thing that I like about buying the canes locally is that they measure me
for the canes. In addition, I have different grips on my canes so that I
can tell them apart. Otherwise I can step on my prongs when I am walking.
My local supplier moves my grips for me. I also can buy a new cane and have
it immediately.
I have never priced them so I do not know how much I am paying for that
convenience.
Marvin

Hello all,
My cane sorta got demolished, apparently it's not durable against getting
closed in car doors.
As I don't have a VI teacher to buy me a new one, (graduating sucks
sometimes), I need to find out where I can get them at.
Thanks,
