You can opt for the cane with three or four legs. Jim had that one and it worked better than a regular cane. Here's my tip to you. Get the cane or go buy a cheap one at Walgreen's to give it a try. Take some paint and paint it to your hearts desire. Make it cool for you. In no time people will be fascinated by your cane more so than the fact your using it. Jim also used Canadian crutches but let me just say, when you fall with those it's a tangled mess.
