I am not 100% sure but most of the rehabilitation units and medical supply places sell the new bases for them the rehab unit I go to sell them in different sizes for more stability so I would try a place like this for starters not sure of which country you are in but I am in Australia and know that I can get a new one so am sure if you go to some where like this you would have success good luck hope this helps

Yes, for safety sake we replaced rubber bottom on an old cane. Found ours at the local grocery store and works perfectly. Just know dimension size in inches.

They just slide over the bottom after you remove your old tips. The best way is to get them started the take the crutch like your going to use it to walk and give it a good push towards the floor.

I would think so as long as the cane is the exact size needed for the tip. I've only ever used them on metal canes but I highly recommend them as the safest came tip on the planet! I am only a customer I do not work for or own the company�

I was not able to find anything. The cane that I had bought this for did not fit because it was too thin. I was unable to use it. If anyone can figure it out, I could use the answer too. Sorry. Did not realize when purchasing that it would not fit.

I would simply call whomever you ordered them from and tell them that one of the canes is defective and you want them to exchange it for a new non-defective one. I have used my Hugo quadpod cane for over a year now and it is my favorite cane. Yes, it does not always stand by itself when on carpet or on non-level floors but from the reviews I have read, none of them do so. I would not want the cane to be any heavier or else it would be too heavy for me to use all the time. I like mine so much that when my aunt was told by her doctor that she must start using a cane I bought one for her. I had my aunt try out all of my canes and she also preferred the Hugo Quadpod. Good luck.

There is a end on the cane part that is about an inch across. It is fastened on to the cane leg which is smaller in diameter then the cap end. So far we haven't had any slipping problem with it. I do not think you could put a rubber tip over it as the end is larger then the leg that it fits over.

The tip does just slide over the end of the cane. Even if the cane shaft seems too big, you may need to apply a bit of olive oil, WD40, or your favorite lubricant to both the end of the cane, and the inside of the tip.

Hi, Janina. I'd say no. I need a cane for the knee. But I have a sense of style, so I'm very carful when I take it out. Got a compliment on it today in fact. but unless you want to dazzle them, try something that wont break the first time you drop it. Handle with care. Choose wisely. Good luck.

I have looked at the four point tips available for this cane, but have not taken the plunge to try one. I was worried that this lighter weight came wouldn't work as well with it. I did check the specs and there is one made in the correct size, so I may try it at some point.

Mine looks as though it is built-on and very rugged looking. I don't think it is replaceable but it appears to be very durable and should last as long as the cane itself.

Had the same trouble but I have a collection of canes and thus found a good one that was the correct diameter. Please remember it must be snug and not wobble. Would suggest you measure the diameter of your cane and match it to the inside diameter of the rubber tip. You might try your local hardware store and perhaps they might have some removal suggestions.

You pop the tip of your current cane off and push this one in its place. I will warn you, it is SOLID rubber and VERY heavy.

Comes with a standard small round rubber cane tip. I changed the tip to a squarish pod tip which gave me greater stability. Loved that tip, but the rubber crumbled. I replaced it with another tip made of rubber and plastic, which held up well for several months with heavy use but now the plastic has worn down on the corners and the cane can skid on wet/snowy surfaces. Either of those tips allowed the cane to stand alone. If the cane fell over, I could step lightly on an edge and pop it back upright. This cane was so helpful for pre-surgery use and recovery from my total hip surgery.

Cut it off from the bottom and replace the rubber tip. Easy to do with a saw that will cut through lucite. I've had three of the lucite canes and each is adjusted for the height of the shoes I am wearing when I use it!

It has a hard rubber tip. I used this cane for over a month (tendon surgery) and helped me from stumbling or falling 100% if time. I walked on carpet, linoleum, hardwood floors, asphalt and uneven dirt. It's a lovely looking cane, comfortable to the hand and should keep you safe. I got quite a few compliments on its design.
