What is the proper height for a walking stick?
1 Answer
There is not one consistent height for walking sticks but is instead dependent on your height and what you plan to use it for. Standing with your arms by your side, the walking stick should be 6 to 8 inches above your elbow. For climbing up steep hills, a longer stick is important.
