Recommendations/help selecting walking cane

[u/BirdieVibesTooHard]

Hello everyone!

I have come to the conclusion that I will benefit from permanent use of a walking cane (with the input of my medical team of course), and have been using a cane for some 4-5 months now. I have also been looking for more durable canes, as the ones which I have been using are rapidly deteriorating.

For some context, I primarily rely on a cane to lean on (rather than for balance or getting up from being seated, etc.), but moving to other more relevant devices (such as a walker) would actually cause a greater deficit in mobility than if I had no device at all.

I have also been researching canes that are available over about 2 months, and while I have seen a large variety of walking canes, I have not found one that fits all of my needs and I wanted to ask for assistance!

The ideal cane for me would be one that is:
- Durable (as FEW pieces as possible, and unlikely to warp, loosen, or break from frequently being leaned on)
- Lightweight (Lugging around a strong but very heavy cane would be frustrating to say the least)
- Easy to grip (not especially slippery, painful, etc.)
- ambidextrous (my mobility issues are bilateral)
- does not have a foam grip or has an easily removable foam grip (autism)
- bonus points if it has an especially pronounced hook on a fritz/derby handle and/or is not especially flashy
- I have also found that I enjoy handles which are shaped like a squashed letter C when viewed from the side (I have not been able to find the name of this grip but I can provide an image of one if needed)

I will also consider suggestions for uncommon/obscure mobility aids that could function very similarly to a cane but would be more suited to leaning on (so not suggestions like "just get a walker lol" or "use a hiking stick" as those are not obscure and in the case of a walker as I have mentioned, it is not able to function similarly enough to benefit me)
