are the glides self closing?

No, they are not. But don't let that deter you. We feel this product has made our life so much easier and wouldn't want to be without it.

No! Once the replacement stuff came with the "glides" I've actually though I need another one! ThanksRC

I'd look closely at the photos of the risers and decide if they will stay in place when "gliding". I believe the stability would be okay because the risers are pretty strong, but they may slide on the floor unless you're on carpet or other non-slick floor. Good luck.

Absolutely, they will right them selves when you throttle up. You want them loose, they brake far less because the are free floating to some degree. If your going to crash throttle all the down quick just another trick from experience.

They are not faulty, remember this is plastic , if you have it over loaded and apply weight, like leaning on it while try to close or open this can cause it to seem to not operate correctly, Hint just don't overload and try not leaning on while opening or closing bottom and Handle. I have had mine for two years now and use it everyday.

They won't close by themselves unless they are only open about an inch. The slides use gravity to pull it the last little bit.

I have a standard walker and these ski glides fit perfectly. Just pulled the old ones off and pushed these on

In my experience, It glides ok. I do like the terry cloth ones better but I cannot find terry cloth ones anymore. All I have been able to find is the microfiber ones.

I bought 50 sets and all of them were easily self-closing. Are you sure you ordered the self-closing style? There is one that LOOKS just like this one and isn't self-closing, although I don't know why anyone would want it. Other than that, they may have sent you the wrong thing.

Mine didn't exactly "stick" but it wasn't a "smooth" glide either, if that is what you mean. I do think it should it should glide more smoothly. More importantly, after using mine daily for about one month, a piece Broke right off and is not usable at all anymore! : ( I'm not buying another one and regret buying it at all. I still do same exercise except I use my fingers in my mouth for resistance and honestly that seems to work better anyway.

They do slide off. I have was worried myself but they are just tight and you may have to tap the caps to get them back on.

We have two 2012 softtail slims. They work GREAT. I am sure your glide will fit fine. David and OmariDavidmorris@cox.net

I have not had the issue. There seems to be enough air movement when closed

No they are well designed. You remove the original rubber feet in the back and the glides just snap right in. My 90 yr old dad glides along carpets as well as hardwood floors with his walker now that I popped the new glides in.
