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.

The rubber tips are removeable. The legs could be shortened and the rubber tips replaced afterwards.

I am not able to give you an answer - this was a purchase for my momma. I am in a different state. Therefore I am not able to look at the "cane" for adjustments. If you continue to have this problem - I would contact the company - they should make this right for you.

I would suggest finding a shorter cane. I am 5' 3" and find it to be a little long at its shortest setting.

There is a cane called " Hurrycane" which sounds perfect 4 your needs. I looked it up on Google after asking a nurse what would be safest.

I purchased the Hugo tip and love it. My cane is now a stand alone and fairly stable. Have had it fall a couple of times but it was my fault for both the tips.

Place your foot on the base of your cane and rotate the handle in a circular motion two or three times and see if this helps. Is this a new purchase? If you have had your cane 6 or more months you may need to replace the feet. I hope I have helped you.

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.

If your walking stick can use a standard size rubber cane tip on the bottom, this cane tip will fit.

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.

old tip may be glued on. Easiest way to remove is to use an Xacto knife, hobby knife or even very sharp paring knife. Starting at the thinest part of the rubber(top) slice through the rubber until you reach the wood/metal of the cane. You can then peel the rubber back or make a complete cut around the cane and remove a section at a time, depends on how strong the adhesive was. Depending on the cane material use fingernail polish remover to clean and remove off the old glue and then use GOOP or similar contact adhesive to attach the new cane tip. CAUTION: Don't cut toward you, and have cane on a towel or something to protect your cutting surface in case you slip. Make small cuts or even cut out a U in the rubber to make it easier to pry the remaining portion off the end of the cane.

I bought this cane for my 92 year old mother. She uses it daily. It helps with her walking and gives her support. This is her second cane in this style. She left the first one in a restaurant so it was replace. Hope this helps.

It is an adjustible cane. There is a metal pin on the side that you can push in to slide the metal tube further from the bottom of the cane and extend the length.

Our Ez2care Classy Adjustable Folding Cane can be adjust in 1 inch increment from 33 inch to 37 inch. Before you placing an order, we suggest you find the height you need first. There are 4 steps: 1. Put on the user's walking shoes. 2. Have the user stand naturally upright as much as possible. 3. Have their arms fall to the sides naturally with a normal relaxed bend at the elbow. 4. Using a tape measure or yard stick, measure the distance from their wrist joint (bottom crease at the wrist) down to the floor. Round up to the nearest half inch.

Hello Mrs. Coleman - This cane was given as a present to my uncle who resides in another state. From the feedback, he truly is quite pleased with the cane. That is all I know at this juncture. Sorry I could not be of more assistance. Best regards, Dame Hilda Van Winkle
