Ergocap® High Performance Crutch Rubber Tip - Rubber Replacement Foot Pad for Walking Canes - Stable Four Point, Engineered to Mimic The Joint Articulation of The Foot/Ankle (Universal-1 Crutch Tip)

I paid a little extra for one-day delivery because I wanted to replace the tip on my Exerstrider, just before a trip. I use it not as an exerciser but as a walking stick to assist my problems maintaining my balance due to a physical problem. It arrived very quickly as promised. Although it would not stay on my 1/2 inch diameter Exerstrider, I was able to add it to a 3/4 inch cane and take that instead. The Ergocap made a huge difference in helping me maintain my balance while traveling, partly because of the extra weight it added to the bottom of my cane, and partly because of the increased surface contact with sidewalks and asphalt parking lot surface irregularities. My only criticism is that the tip slipped off once at the airport and was almost lost. I am going to have to glue it in place. Perhaps a snugger fit should be available. But I highly recommend it! 7/20/15 - I am editing this review to upgrade my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars. Now that I have had several days to use this tip on my cane, I am ***extremely satisfied*** with the extra sense of confidence it has given me in dealing with my balance problems, due both to its heft and the clever angled wings which provide more surface than standard cane tips when placing the cane at an angle rather than perpendicular to the walking surface. I had previously knocked off one star due to the slightly loose fit, but I resolved that by wrapping the cane tip with some black plastic electrical tape so that the Ergocap now fits really snug, making the original criticism too trivial to warrant down-rating. In fact, I am going to order another one to put on my Exerstrider, now that the designer of that product sent me instructions as to how to adapt its 1/2 in. diameter to accept the Ergocap. 7/28/15 After another week of usage in travel, including getting around six trips through airports, in and out of small boats, around docks and through museums, etc. I would like to add that I observed that there are three (3) ways in which I find this model - the Ergocap® **High Performance** model - to provide me with greater safety - 1) The hefty weight increases the likelihood that I will place the cane down perpendicular to the walking surface, rather than at an angle, without having to concentrate on doing so; 2) The main center surface is much larger than that of a standard issue cane tip and provides greater gripping surface; 3) The four angled wings extending out from the tips' main center surface insure that, even if I inadvertently place my cane down at an angle while walking, I am given much more surface against the floor or pavement than occurs when putting a standard tip down at an angle.

The best crutch tip I've ever used. This crutch tip never slides. I waited to post a review until I had used it in all types of weather and this performed great in rain, snow, slush, walking on grass or leaves, basically everywhere. I have severe arthritis in my knees and find a crutch better than a cane for me. I've been using a crutch for about 10 years and this tip is the first that made me feel secure going anywhere in any weather. I live in Chicago so I deal with it all and this may be expensive but it is worth it to me to have confidence as I walk. After eight months of daily use it is showing only mild wear it has already lasted a lot longer then those cheep tips and I'm sure it will keep going for many months to come. the only downsides are that it was very difficult to get it on, it's bulky and it is heavier then normal tips. These are minor items when looking at overall satisfaction.

It was too heavy for my liking so I returned it. It did give my cane very good grip while I tested it. This end would work great for off road walking

My son has his leg amputated and we live in the mountains and lots of gravel around. I got this to make his feel more secure about his crutches skidding causing him to fall. He’s had these a year now and used in the rain, snow and rough grounds. They are amazing and worth it. They balance you out wherever you are.

While it’s a good tip, in my experience it is not suitable for icy conditions.

Excellent cane tip my mother is very happy with it it does exactly as described

Okay they are a bit heavier but not so bad. These tips have added much better contact with the surface to give me added support and less chance of slips and missteps. Glad I got these. If I didn't need the extra support I would stay with the regular tips - but I do need that insurance of not slipping and falling. Recommended.

I like that the tips relieved a lot of the wear and tear on my wrists, elbows, shoulders, and hands. Until I found this product walking simply one mile would wear a new pair of pharmacy tips" right off! With thes Ergocap High Performance Tips I walked all over town, mowed lawns, shovelled driveways and everything in between for almost a full two years. I can't say enough, THANK YOU. I believe it's coming up to the time to place my order for the NEW Winter Grip Extreme Version.

Aunque el precio es elevado, estas conteras funcionan de maravilla para no batallar con superficies irregulares y/o resbalosas.

Have bought several cane tips. This one beats them all and still going. Every day use plus used on trails and not showing any wear. Best money spent on a mobility cane.

Maravilloso y excelente producto. Había probados otros pero nada igual a éste. Materiales de primera. Nada se le compara. No lo piense más y adquiéralo. Estoy completamente satisfecho. Sé que me durará muchos años. Utilizo bastón y la adherencia en el piso me da mucha confianza. Se siente formidable. Cumple y excede todas mis expectativas. Excelente atención y trato del vendedor. Llego antes de lo programado. Felicidades.

Excelente producto! Gracias. Me han sido muy útiles.
