How to Size your Walking Stick
Buying the right size of stick is equally, if not more, important than style or shape. If your stick is to aid mobility then the wrong size could render any benefits from using the stick null and void. If your stick is just a simple walking companion then size is more a matter of personal preference.
If you need a stick as a mobility aid then the best person to recommend the right length of stick for you would be your GP or physiotherapist. Just ask them what size of stick they would recommend and then pass that on to your stickmaker of choice.
If you’d prefer to measure for your own stick then this simple guide should give you a good idea of how to get the best result.
In the first instance put on your ordinary walking shoes and stand as naturally upright as possible. Allow your arms to fall to the side with a natural bend allowed at the elbow. Then, using a tape measure, get someone else to measure the distance from the wrist joint down to the ground. This should give you the ideal size for your stick.
Obviously some people require, or prefer, a shorter or longer stick but this should give you a starting point from which to decide upon your personal preferred length.
If it isn’t possible to measure for the stick then a simple calculation can be used to get a rough idea of size.
Convert a persons height into inches (for example 5′6″ = 66 inches.
Then simply divide this number in half to get the size of stick, in this example 33 inches.
