The tip stays on very well but can be removed if you need to use the metal point when walking.

the tip stays on until you get ready to pull it off. i leave mine on while walking on hard surfaces but take it off when walking off road.

Having owned two of these, and about to order my third, I can answer the question = to best of my knowledge, NO. After repeated searches on line, and at local stores, I went an alternate route. I found some chair leg/tip protectors that were really inexpensive. they come four to a box so I have plenty of spares. To avoid losing another rubber tip, however, I use black electrical tape to secure the tips. As I use my walking stick as a cane, however go, have found that even with the tape, a tip can be lost via shopping carts (wire mesh catches It). So, be careful. Hope this helps.

The difference between this stylus and others that are all rubber is that this one does not have much "give". I know what you are talking about. I have owned styli before that if I pressed too hard I could go down to the metal point of the tip. I think that you would be pleasantly surprised with this one. It does not get stuck and has a natural feel. I don't even think about the stylus when I am writing because it works as it is supposed to. Personally, I use it for the iPad 2.

This stick has one tip. My granddaughter is enjoying playing with it with her great grandma!!!

Just pop it on; super simple. No tools, no screwing/tightening. You'll feel it lock into place when you push it onto the stick.

Judy, I experienced this problem early on when I accidentally pulled the lower shaft out of the top. Fortunately, I was able to jiggle it back in without much problem, and have experienced no other problems at all with my walking stick.

I am not an expert on the Leki rubber tips, except to say that the poles work very well. Also a friend of mine have them too and find them very sturdy and useful. Both of us conclude that they help stand up straighter. Wishing everyone success walking with the Leki poles.

Hi, Well there are two ways I have used. Spray some WD40 around the top of the old tip then try to turn the tip with some pliers and wiggle it off. (If you do not have WD40 try 3in1 oil or baby oil). If it still does not give, soak the rubber tip in VERY HOT soapy water and with pliers, wiggle. The last resort is to cut the old tip off (with a box cutter or with a small hand drill using the small circular bit. Good luck!

If you lock / tighten the mechanism at two levels as seen on these walking sticks, it should prevent it from sliding it.If keeps happening inspite of locking /screwing ,then the locking mechanism is broken. This happened to the Nordic track ski/walking poles I purchased 5 years ago.good luck

We, also, had to cut off a couple of inches, but unfortunately I no longer remember getting the tip off even being an issue. Sorry. My husband still loves this walking stick & the sturdiness of it's construction.

I've had mine for a few months. Only issue I came across was my own issue. I didn't tighten a screw all the way and I thought my sticks where warped. After I tightened it, the sticks worked good.

It is a one time stick thing. You could maybe pry it off but need to add new tape to make it stick.

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 is a rubber gromment and can be pulled off with a little force. You may need to apply a little glue to get it back on.

I purchased 2 because I need both just to get around. I had my son shorten both sticks and he informs me that he had to use some ingenuity and strength. Try to break the seal between the rubber tip and the varnish with a small probe being careful not to damage the tip. If all that fails, you can just cut the sticks to the desired length and purchase some new tips. The tips are pretty cheep.

I have never had this situation, so I don't know, but I will do some research because it is easy to lose one of the sticks. Okay, I just checked the Zoku website and they have them for sale. Not sure about alternatives.

Mine comes off. You might have to jiggle it at little, don't force it. It doesn't come off smoothly, but it does eventually release.
