I like the weight that this tip adds to a normal cane, the wider quad tips help me balance better. So that part about it i love! The problem. It wears down way to quickly. Ive only had it a few weeks still under a month and the traction design at the bottom is completely gone. Which makes the cane slip on most surfaces. Not good for me. I had to rotate the tip 4 days after i started using it cause it would slip out from under me. At $9 this was a waste of money for me.

Due to a broken neck in 3 places in one accident and a second broken neck in a different place when hit by a drunk driver, the fight back from Complete Paralysis was "No Walk in the Park"¼ï¸" (forgive the pun). I rely heavily on my 2- Leki Suspension Canes to try and walk short distances. I've used hundreds of cane tips and ordered these to try. Upon quick 2-day delivery, I almost sent them back as the package seemed to heavy...no way that would work...rightâ‰ï¸ WRONG"¼ï¸ I've now ordered a dozen or so of these over the years and all I can say is "WOW"¼ï¸". I waited to long to try these out. The make using a cane so much easier, more comfortable, safe, and I never have to worry about my cane sliding or falling on the floor - causing me ask for help, or try like hell to pick it up w/out falling down. Funny thing is, even if it falls over on the floor, you can simply press on the tabs of the cane tip and it POPS RIGHT UP INTO A VERTICAL STANDING POSITION"¼ï¸ Their rubber compound lasts longer than others, and you'll be 100% satisfied and writing a similar review yourself. This $9.00 price is a steal and I'm ordering several more pairs"¼ï¸ If ya use a cane or have a physical challenge requiring you too, make life a little easier and buy these tips for your cane. However, I'll close by saying that after 7769-hours of Physical Therapy & Working Out,.. "Winners never Quit..&..Quitters Never Win"¼ï¸". So keep working hard with the goal of NEVER having to order these cane tips ... As you'll throw your canes in the river when you don't need them anymore"¼ï¸ In the meantime, make life easier and order these ... You'll never regret it.

This is a GREAT & STURDY cane tip!

My mother, who is in her 80's and is recovering from an illness, has just started using a cane. We noticed that "normal" rubber tips were unstable as she's regaining her balance after her illness. So, I researched numerous canes and tips (feet). I actually purchased three different canes for her. LOL! But, none of the tips seemed stable enough. I checked out a number of "quad canes", (that have 4 metal legs and tips in a cross pattern), that claim to offer more stability; but then read a medical review issuing warnings that many patients trip over the metal legs. Then, I found this rubber tip on Amazon. It is FANTASTIC! It offers stability, but doesn't extend very far, so there is far LESS chance of my mother tripping over it. I will say that because it is solid rubber, it does add weight to the cane. But, because it is one solid piece of rubber, there are no plastic pieces to fall off, compared to similar products on the market.

After all my research, we added the Carex Self Standing Cane Tip to the EZ-Get-Up-From-Seat Adjustable Cane By Royal Canes, from Amazon UPC #811319013878, which is a light cane with two handles, one for walking and one to help my mother get from a seated position to standing. What a great combination! I have added a picture of both the cane and the tip.

I purchased this for my husband's cane. He had a habit of hanging the cane on anything handy such as the edge of the counter of the dining room table. As one can imagine this is not one of the most stable locations and invariably the cane would get knocked down with a clatter. Over and over.... It quickly became one of "THOSE SOUNDS". The sounds that goes straight into the brain and stomps on nerves.

Now the cane will stand on its own. Even when it falls the tip and the padded handle keeps the cane from clattering. It is worth it weight in gold.

Well I was visiting my mom and noticed her traditional cane was not stable enough to support her as she approaches 80 yrs young. She still gets around ok but every step is a little shaky. So since I was only in town for a week I ordered a few different quad tips from Amazon so she could choose the best one for her.
I ordered the hurrycane go, drive medical quad tip, Hugo mobility quad and this Carex self standing (happened to be least expensive too).
So when they arrived I had her try each one. To my surprise she liked this Carex the best. Hurrycane go...tip too small. Drive medical quad...unevenly balanced. Hugo mobility...awkward stride. Carex the winner! Just a good solid construction, perfect balance, perfect fit and good support with each stride. I was so surprised because it was the least expensive option so I tried it. I liked it the best too! Some reviewers said it was too heavy...we felt it was well built with good weight. I guess it just depends on personal strength and preference.
Anyway I put it on the end of the Nova designer cane that just arrived(freakin beautiful cane) and the combination is awesome. She's so hard to please, but she loves it!!! Good quality, good support, good feel and a beautiful cane (and did I mention cheaper).
I guess it just goes to show popularity, advertising and brand name don't necessarily determine best products. Choose for yourself but we give this quad tip a two thumbs up!
