Flexyfoot Shock Absorbing Crutch Ferrule – Choice of Sizes and Colours Available Here – Improves Grip, Improves Safety, Improves Comfort – Grey – 22mm

I bought this product on the basis of reading the positive the reviews left by previous customers. I have fibromyalgia - so muscle weakness, stiffness and fatigue are things I have to deal with everyday, and make me reliant on using a walking stick both outdoors and when needed - indoors. Like others have said I feel a lot safer now this new ferrule has been installed as my stick in always in contact with the floor and my arm hurts less as my stick is not hitting the ground so hard now. I have noticed that since using this ferrule my walking stick doesn't make as much noise as before. Overall, I am very happy with this product, but I did find that I needed another pair of hands to assist in order to follow the instructions that came with this product, as I didn't have the required strength to pull the two sections apart. I think this product is definitely worth giving a go to see if it makes a difference for you as it has helped me. 👏Edit: I bought this product again for my crutch and the "foot" and "collar" came already separated but without instructions (good thing I purchased this before and kept my previous instructions). I would still 100% recommend the flexyfoot and wish I had found it years ago.

Flexyfoot Shock Absorbing Crutch Ferrules.I have been using walking sticks for over 20 years and have tried various ferrules, all much cheaper than these. The problem I had was they all would slip a little on wet surfaces and I would struggle to stay upright. The cost of these stopped me from trying them before, but I am finding it harder to stay upright in wet conditions, so I finally decided to risk the extra cost.I am really pleased I did. I immediately could feel they were gripping surfaces better than any of my previous ferrules. They also cushion the sticks better than any other ferrules I have used and that makes them more comfortable to use.The makers claim they are more hard wearing than normal ferrules and after using them for a few months I agree as I can see they are showing little sign of wearing down.Despite the huge extra cost, I will be buying these at some point in the future when they eventually need replacing as I cannot imagine going back to less secure ferrules.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and wanted better control of my crutches. Usually standard ferrules will slip when under standard use on standard wet or damp flooring. These sprung ferrules stay flat to the floor under standard use, drastically reducing the chance of slippage giving me better control and confidence when moving around indoors and out.

I have used these everyday since I got them, they are good and adjust to any service, but sometimes in wet conditions they can and will slip, even on a wet shop floor if someone has mopped or split something!

Gives a feeling of greater confidence over cracked, wet or uneven footing.Made from highly durable materials this is the best add-on for crutches ever.

Doesn't fit an ordinary working stick . Bottom of my walking stick on the left. Bottom of flexi foot on right much narrower

These are brilliant extremely comfortable to walk with my walking sticks now. Had to reduce sixe of my sticks for them to fit.
