Hi all,

Does anyone know where I could buy a walking cane in CR?

I'd prefer a derby style one like this

I'd like to go into the shop to try a few out to get the right size.

Otherwise, if I order online, I'll err on the side of caution and order one that is probably too large, but can be trimmed down to size.

Thanks,

Rich

I've got one of these Burmese trekking sticks:

Don't need it much for walking, but comes in handy with the occasional recalcitrant soi dog....

Pretty sure I saw some at the night market last week, one of the shops quite close to the food area.

Thanks guys. I remember seeing those trekking sticks at the market, but I'm not sure how comfortable they would be, or whether they are more of a decorative souvenir type thing rather than something I could use every day.

Plus, I like the Derby cane handle as you can hang it on your arm when you need to use 2 hands. And a Derby cane looks a little better to carry around at work.

I saw some canes at Central Plaza, third floor, on the right side walking from movie theater to Mervyn's. Shop that has wheel chairs, etc

I too saw canes in the window of a medical supply shop, on the second floor, down near the Robinson end of the Plaza.
