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.

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 love the concept and appreciate my cane not slipping on slick or damp floors, but the added height has made it difficult to make my cane the proper height.I’m hopeful I will adjust, but I am sad that its additional height isn’t the same amount as the adjustment notches are spaced.

These are AMAZING! But be aware:1) It is ONE per order. If you want a pair, you will need to order TWO! Read CAREFULLY! It says ONE in the title of the item. I made the mistake of not reading carefully (whoops). No big deal, as I simply ordered another and received it in two days.2) These are very sturdy, therefore, difficult to put on! I have standard crutches and these WILL fit with a little soap or Vaseline rubbed on the crutch (just a thin layer). This will make it easier, but you will still have to use elbow grease to get them on and then push down to make sure your walking device is seated into the rubber cuff.3) These add a bit of height to your crutch or cane. It may not be noticeable to some, but it’s noticeable after using standard “feet” for a while and they might take some getting used to.4) They are a bit heavy compared to standard “feet” and may take some getting used to.Overall, these make me feel much more confident in moving around and going up and down the stairs to my apartment with my shattered ankle in tow. Worth the price for someone who needs more stability and/ or will be with crutches for a long time. Hope this helps!

I purchased this [3rd time] for my special needs child to ensure minimal slippage and mobility safety. It works very well.

Item looked used, and it doesn’t move as it says on the description

I had a spinal injury many moons ago and need a crutch to walk. Been through many crutches since. About 8 years ago I bought the ergobaum 7g. And never looked for another brand. My first time replacing the pad after all this time.I highly recomend ergoactives.
