Air Cushion Cane Tip (1 PC), 3/4'' Cane Tip for Black Red Blue Purple Canes & Crutches, 3/4 Inch Cane Tip Heavy Duty, Rubber Replacement Foot Pad, Walking Cane Tip and Crutch Tip

After getting cellulitis, which turned into sepsis, and nearly killed me, ultimately resulting in two incisions (one 10", and one 6" in length and 3" wide) down to the muscle, they even cut the muscle fascia, at 45yrs old, I suddenly required a cane till I get my full strength back.They finally sutured the aforementioned holes in my leg back up, after I'd spent more time than I'd like, often staring at my thigh muscles, as they weren't packed that often.The hospital initially tried to give me a walker, but I declined, mostly out of pride, if I'm being honest. I'd experienced a year of combat, serving with the Marine Corps, in Iraq in 2005, played 2 yrs of college club hockey, as the starting goalie, at 40yrs old for Marshall University, and had been coaching youth hockey for 11 years. I was pretty healthy, and active. My only overnight visit, prior to the recent, to a hospital was to get my tonsils out at age 4-5.Now, suddenly, I couldn't get my leg my wife's Tahoe, without lifting it with both hands. I'd been smacked in the face with my own mortality. I found myself staring at a walker, the PT (physical therapy) guy was showcasing was the same walker my mother uses.I finally talked the PT guy into crutches and a cane. I shelved the crutches, as I figured despite being more difficult, the cane would give me my strength back, quicker. I'm a terrible patient, I know. However, I soon discovered the standard issue cane tips often kinda stick, and feel jerky, and not very stable if you're not moving very very slow. You also have to constantly watch to make sure the tip hits right, or you get that jerky, instability I mentioned earlier.That wasn't going to fly, as far as I was concerned. So, I started trying out different tips for the cane. I tried some "athletic tips", but they were too shallow, and gave way to much laterally, as they were made more for the types of crutches used in certain disabled Olympic sports. I tried some other all terrain tips, but they were pretty much the same as the standard cane tips, but they did fair better on wet surfaces.Finally I got these tips, and they were perfect. Wide enough to great stability. I don't feel as much impact on my wrist, palms, and forearms. I assume due to the air cushion design, that reminded me of pretty much every tennis shoe made since LA Gear was a thing. The often jerky motion was gone, and moving felt smooth, as the cane tip can hit at an shallower angle, and still grip the surface more than enough to provide support and a feeling of stability.I'm getting my strength back, and PT is excited because I'm not only hitting the benchmarks in flexibility, and strength, but exceeding them.I'm not saying these cane tips can do miracles or anything. However they certainly made my recovery easier, and thus I was able to push my self more while doing my PT at home.I'm hoping to be back on the ice for drop in ice hockey, tending net, and coaching, this July, which is just 2 full months after I'd went to the hospital feverish, in septic shock, which I'm told nearly killed me. I was discharged, unable to lift my leg up off the bed at all, without using my arms, and yesterday I carried a 50lb bag of Quick Crete to set my new Marine Corps flag pole in the ground, in my yard, as the previous pole had blown completely over during a bad storm, while I was in the hospital. Being able to do that, was a huge milestone for me. Supporting my wounded leg, during this personal flag raising, was my cane, with this cane tip on the end.In my humble opinion, this cane tip is simply the best tips on the market. I tried at least 5 different tips, before I got this one. I got on Amazon, and ordered all 5 of them while I was in the hospital. While the glow in the dark feature they mention is admittedly highly exaggerated, as far as brightness goes, and how useful it is, the glowing tip would make finding your cane in the dark easier, so that might come in handy, I guess.These tips made a huge difference in my recovery, physically, as well as mentally, as this all humbled me pretty hard. Between this brush with death, that certainly was on par with someclose call, combat experiences I'd had, the guy punch of losing my mobility, and having to use some SERE School mental techniques to get through the wound packing, to avoid crying out in pain, I'm thankful to be alive. I'm thankful for every day since, that I'm still here to be a Dad for my kids, and husband to my wife. However to get to the topic, I'm thankful I found this dag gone cane tip, as it's helped me, literally carried me a bit, to get me closer to my former post war "normal", faster than I ever expected.I highly recommend whoever designed these for a medal, and I highly recommend this product.Semper Fi

Fits canes with a ¾ end diameter. Provides extra support, swivels, and produces a faint light in darkness.

The tips that came with the crutches I purchased were very hard so I purchased this to replace them. These work much better and help to cushion every step. The grip also seems to be better than the original so I'm very happy with the purchase.

Tip is hard and does not flex as shown in picture

I am the same age as old people but I try to walk 10,000 steps a day. The smaller ones last me maybe three or three and a half months these last seven to eight months. They look a little different but nobody has ever mentioned it before to me

This is a cane tip superior to just the black rubber tips. They advised using a hair dryer to heat it up before sliding it on the end. I would not have gotten it on unless I followed this suggestion.It is big and bulky. It provides a firmer grip to various surfaces. I feel much safer with it. You will, too.

I live where it snows and have uneven ground and gravel, this does the trick for me. I have 2 because I always misplace them all the time, especially handy in the winter!

Easy to install.Good floor grip.Love the “glow in dark” feature.Major issue is that it does not pivot enough to always have full floor contact.

Not noisy like the old tip

This cane end did not fit in my hubbies cane. He liked it, so might try to figure out how to make it fit.
