There's no reason that mobility equipment has to be ugly. These are walking sticks to help with balance or with pain.

If you think that this is a trivial issue, the appearance of mobility equipment can affect the degree of ableism/ageism that other people inflict on the person using the mobility equipment. Also, far too many falls are due to people who won't use their mobility equipment because they worry that it makes them "look old".

I have not been paid in any way whatsoever for making this post.

Anyway, if you see me at a con and I’m using a cane that means it’s a dodgy walking day. It also means I think I’m Sherlock Holmes, striding along with my stylish and ever-so-dashing cane. Well, striding may be wishful thinking, but hey, I’m a writer. Imagination is a wonderful thing.
