Tornado Rain Cane & Crutch Tips, Fits Shafts of 3/4 to 1 Inch, Black, Pair

These are my favorite crutch tip. I have used them for 15+ years and keep returning as they wear out (eventually the rain top wears thin, usually every two years for me). I am disabled from a car accident and have used regular (after surgeries) or forearm crutches (mostly) since then. I have used these on all my crutches and am very happy with the cushioning, slip resistance, and durability. My arms and shoulders love having less jarring to deal with (solid tips are tough on them as there is no cushioning). I saw one review that said theirs came apart but that has not been my experience at all and my crutches go everywhere -- sand, rocks, mud, rain, snow, trails, asphalt, old lava plains, etc. I could get longer wear without the rain tip but I need that. If you are dealing with snow & ice then get yourself some ice tips but other than that I consider these all terrain. I could not be happier with these. They are more expensive but worth the cost. The tornado tip is also a great invention! Having crutches tips that move with you is a game changer. They flex slightly as you move through your stride and give a more secure feel (your crutch won’t slide as some rubber tips do) if that makes sense. These have been all over the world with me as I do not let my disability stop me from traveling and exploring. These tips help in that regard as they feel more secure. I encourage you to give them a try.

Nearly six months on, I've decided to write a review on these tips. They have been through wet, puddles, dry and uneven ground. At this stage, they've never missed a beat. The tread on the crutches is still in good condition. In the past, I've used flexi-foot (sp?) tips but there have been some issues (when they land on paper and like products) where they completely lose grip of the ground and cause me to have near falls. To me, this is a deal breaker. I don't care how much or little they cost. If the tip is not giving good grip on the ground, it's not worth having. These tips fit standard crutches and literally took seconds to fit. Removal seems as easy as the fitting. Would I buy in the future (when the existing ones wear out)? Absolutely.

I had a skiing accident and ended up having knee surgery, as a result I was on crutches for about 13 weeks total. I bought these during the first week as I really hated the crutches I was on and wanted to improve them however I could. In addition to these crutch tips I bought 'Crutcheze pad, grip cover and bag'. Anyway, these tips were such a good purchase! I'm up in Maine where it was super wet and snowy, these tips functioned admirably. They have way more contact with the ground so I feel much more stable when crutching around everywhere, and they absorb way more of the impact when moving so it's just way comfier. Overall I'd highly recommend purchasing these crutch tips, they are such an improvement over the basic ones that come with regular crutches. At $60 I know they look steep, I really pondered the purchase, but then again for 13 weeks it comes out to $4.6 per week! And these are easily worth $20 a week for the comfort alone!

I use this with the Nova heavy duty cane. While both are heavier than a standard cane and tip, it offers me stability and comfort with walking and using staircases The bottom of the tip shows hardly any wear after 3 months. In the rain and slushy surfaces, it is pretty slip resistant. At over $60 for 2 tips, it costs more than most tips. But if it saves me from a fall, then it's worth it. Also Made in the USA!

If you have bad wrists or some autoimmune disease that makes your wrists pop out of place, don’t get this. While it does help with forearm crutch fatigue, I will say it does add more stress onto the wrists!!
