Well, it depends.  I am five feet 7 inches, and I use a 63 inch
cane.  It goes up to my nose.   So, if you are used to a long cane, I hat 
your cane should extend up to the bone in the middle of your chest where 
your sternum and neck bones meet when standing the cane straight up in front 
of you. Did the rules change?
would say 61 or 59, inches, but if you aren't used to a cane that
long, or don't like it, you might want 57.
