I agree, I certainly wouldn't want a cane that goes up to my chin. I know a folding cane can be convenient if you want to put it away, but I most prefer Ambutech's telescopic cane, it is much lighter and more ridgit than a cane with 3 or 4 connection points which all absorb part of what I might feel on the ground. I can also make it as long as I want it in certain situations. Of course that is for those times once in a blue moon when I use a cane since I'm a guide dog user.
