RECOMMENDATION OF USE: 1. Please take care of cane from falling onto a hard surface such as concrete or asphalt, or ceramic tile. It tends to fall if you left a cane to lean on the wall and can get a crack or delicate details or fracture. So we recommend to use a hand strap. 2. Before use, make sure the screw connection is tightly screwed. Otherwise, you may get unstable support or damage the cane. This connection is designed for convenient shipment or transportation of a walking stick when traveling in luggage is not often only. But this is not intended for every day assembly / disassembly. The meteoric thread can become weak after a frequent cycle of twisting and untwisting.3. Please check that you are leaning on the cane correctly. The main force should be directed as close as possible to the shaft but not the rear end of the handle. Incorrectly positioning can cause shaft bend and discomfort and even breakage of the shaft.4. Use the right tip. Each GC-Artis cane has a standard, NOT medical, summer rubber tip in a set. If you need a winter tip or a medical one (made of softer material provides enhanced cushioning) you should buy it additionally at medical store. Also use soap or candle wax to put a rubber tip on easily. Storage and care recommendations: 1. We do not recommend to storing the cane near a heating appliances and in the hot sun. The wooden parts can become more brittle with excessive drying, and this can lead to a crack at high load.2. Each walking cane made by GC-Artis has a professional varnish coating which protects against common atmospheric phenomena like light rain or any short-term wetting with non-aggressive liquids. But increased moisture for a long time or immersion in water can lead to deformation of the wooden parts. Contact with aggressive chemical liquids and solutions can destroy the varnish coating.3. We recommend to use warm water with a soap solution or any certified cleaning agent for wooden goods and furniture to clean your cane. It's safe. After cleaning, wipe with a dry cloth. Also we recommended once a year to polish the surface of the cane in order to restore the gloss of lacquer coating and to remove plaque oxidation from metal parts and minor scratches. Use professional products for polish.

Many people looking for the guidelines how to Measure for a Cane Right If you asked from google: "Methods of Estimating Correct Length for a Cane" or "How to Properly Adjust Your Cane Size" you will get a such minimal recommendations: Obtain measurements while wearing regular walking shoes. Standing upright, allow arms to relax (with normal bend at the elbow) at your sides. Have a second person measure the distance from your wrist joint down to the floor. This number is the right length of cane for you. This is a right way, but I have to make a few important points only: The optimal length of the cane is a very individual parameter. It depends not only on your height & your regular shoes soles thickness but also on the length of your arms, the posture, the manner of walking so I  recommend to make a personal tests.  The optimal way is to order the standard 36'' length walking cane & to shorten a wooden shaft on a place easily using any saw. You'll receive the rubber tip in the set which hide any traces of cutting. It is a good idea to use a paint tape to protect the wood from splitting while cutting off the shaft (wind the shaft above the cut-off point). But If you want me to cut your cane before sending, please try to determine the optimal length very accurately, but do not remind to consider thickness of your shoes sole! It is easy to make walking cane shorter but very hard to make longer again!
