For research purposes I'm googling. And so far I only have a short list of sellers that sell white canes. Can someone tell me where else people sell canes? I've got maxi aids, light house, california canes, and independant living. All suggestions are welcome. Please put the url of where you purchase your canes in your comments thanks!
I purchase mine at our local rehab service center where I did my training. The website is www.visioncenter.org but unfortunatly their line of products are not on the site but you can still mention it if you want. Other blind organazations may also sell canes but I don't know that for a fact.

Wel, of course, there's NFB (www.nfb.org.) I got mine from Revolution Enterprises (800) 382-5132. Their canes are similar to the California Cane, but I think the tubing is a little more heavy-duty. I found the California Cane to splinter after awhile, but the elastic in my cane broke before any such splintering took place. I really like the california cane, but I like this one even better. Remember this disclaimer, "the opinons you read are those of the user."

Thanks Lou, I knew there were other vouchers out there I'm just having trouble looking for them. And with little time to play around whatever informaton I get is helpful. Troy, thanks for the info but I'm looking for cane dealers nation wide that sell through out the US. Rehab centers I find only sell to their clients and half of the canes they have only last for almost (not even) a year before breaking.
Well, I find the graphite canes last longer than many of the others. The Carbon Fiber canes are also a good bet. Only problem is that some of those canes are so lightweight that I've seen them blow out of people's hands when I used to teach O. and M. If someone has hand issues like Carple Tunnel, I recommend them, because they're somewhat easier to work with.
