I am a left leg amputee and use forearm canes to get around the house and some light outdoor activities. I needed replacements for the set that I have used for about 28 years. These are very lightweight compared to what I am used to, and the cane tips are so small I'm intimidated to take a step. Going to try them around the house first before going anywhere else with them. On the pro side the hand grips are very comfortable.
