The Best Wooden Canes

We Sell Only the Best Wooden Canes

At The Walking Cane Store, we believe that your wooden walking cane should match your personality. It should be something unique, just like you, and should also fit your needs. Our wooden canes are high quality, yet affordable. We have many different stylish Derby Handle Walking Canes made from a variety of woods. There are styles for men and women. One advantage of a wooden cane is that no two are alike because of the natural differences in wood.

One of our favorite canes in this style is our impressive Spiral Carved Derby Cane. Made from Chestnut wood, it is artistically carved and hand-grooved to expose the different shades of wood beneath. This cane can support up to 250 pounds. Choose your length according to your height. We provide “How to Measure for Length” information so that you can be sure that you have ordered the right size for your height.

The History of Walking Canes

Walking canes have been a part of human history for centuries, used by people from all walks of life. Their use is not restricted by region, economic status, religion or gender. The styles may vary from place to place, but the idea remains the same: from time to time, people need a little extra support.

In addition, canes and walking sticks have been used as symbols of wisdom and authority, and have been wielded by pharaohs, kings, presidents, and let's not forget the occasional Jedi master. Some have been used as symbols of religious authority, held by popes or other religious leaders. And still others are nothing more than fashion statements.

We have put together this handy infographic to take you through the history of walking canes, and highlight some of the noteworthy people who have held them, both real and fictional.
