Your f1 Francisco Walking Stick is designed for walking support — here are essential safety guidelines. The f1 is a walking support device, not a weight-bearing cane. Do not place your full body weight on the sticks. Avoid using on stairs, steep slopes, or slippery/icy surfaces. The rubber tip provides excellent grip on standard surfaces, but ice and wet metal can reduce effectiveness. The f1 is not designed for hiking, trekking, or trail running. Users over 100kg or those who cannot walk independently should consult their physician before use. Regularly inspect the rubber tip for wear and replace when the tread pattern is no longer visible. Check the twist-lock mechanism before each walk.
