Does anyone know the size of the cane tips? I purchased this for my mother and two of the tips have worn down.

1/2" inch. I've replaced mine several times. It's a good cane. It coordinates well with my wardrobe!

Small base quad cane, fits 1/2" shaft. CVS and Rite Aid don't carry them but the Pharmacist might be able to order it for you. I found mine at a medical equipment/pharmacy here where I live, they're $4.99 for a 4 pack. Online they are more expensive than that but if you don't go through them very often it might be easier to order online. Good Luck John

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.

My mom has it and she is in another state, but I would guess about an inch to an inch and a quarter. It is the same diameter as canes that I have seen in stores.

you can take it to a hardware store, car mechanic, etc. someone that has saw/cutting equipment and take bottom tip off, measure correctly cut it to size and replace the cane tip and wahlah it is done, remember measure twice and cut once.....my grandchildren call the lucite cane my "fairy godmother wand"....

Having used cane tips for many years,actively with many mile of walking, I find tthese tips will outlastsolid tips by nearly ten to one.They are virtually skid proof,have a ''softer" feel on impact and seem to offer a more comfortable support on wrists.

You may have to split the old ones to remove them. New ones will fit 3/4 to1" shafts. Mine was a 1". I had to carve my 1" shaft higher to have the proper depth so that the cane would fit all the way in. Next I put wood glue on the shaft and inside the rubber tip. Got the tip partially on then stood the cane up and put alot of presse on it while turning the cane until it went all the way in. Was not easy. Would be alot easier on a 3/4" shaft. Can be difficult for some disabilities. Once on it is the best tip I have had. Great traction. Wearing 6-8 times better than standard tips. You may have to split the old ones to remove them.

I would get a standard ruler and measure the bottom of the cane tip, and also measure the height of the whole tip as well as just the rubber base portion. I'm not sure which of these measurements is used to find the cane tip size. If you're wanting replacement tips medline appears to make standard issue canes so they're probably one size fits all with the difference on how wide the bottom bottom of the tips are for varying support. Don't take my word for it, because it's just a guess.

The cane came tall enough for my six foot husband to use, we however, bought it for my 5 foot 2 Mother in law, so my husband cut it down to size for her, as we have had to do with most of the canes we have bought for her.

The outside diameter of the end of the one I have is ¾ of an inch. I just measured it the other day, when I ordered a Hugo quad pod tip. The tip that came with the cane is in excellent condition, I just wanted the added security of the quad pod tip. It says it'll fit a standard ¾ inch cane, and that's exactly what the Carex Cane that I have measures.

I cut it off with a box cutter on one of them. Some I could twist off but it was work. I bought several of these and each of the original cane tips acted a little bit different.

I can not say for certain. I put this tip on a 3/4 inch cane. However, I would try it. There is a lot of flex in this tip.

My cane is 3/4 " , the standard Walmart cane. Are you sure you have 1/2" ?The tip is so good I would wrap a 1/2 " with black duct tape and put it on the tip.

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.

Yes, it has a rubber tip that can be replaced when it becomes worn from use which extends the life of the cane.

The tip is what I would call "the regular black rubber tip" which is removable and could be fitted with a stand alone tip. You will be buying through Fashionable Canes. They have a great selection. I have several. They also have stand alone tips to sell. This Slim cane is 16 mm. They have a 16 mm Stand Alone tip. Just remove the original tip and put on the stand alone and Voila!!

OK- First of all, this is pure speculation as I have not tried any modifications myself. The overall length of the cane at its shortest setting is 31 3/4" (includes foot/pads,shaft & handle). After inspecting the cane I have concluded that shortening it in the area of present adjustment (top) is impractical and would probably destroy the integrity of the cane. By removing the foot from the bottom section, you should be able to cut off 2" to 3" without too much difficulty. The main problem would be in dealing with the elastic cord that holds the cane together. It too, may have to be shortened to retain enough pressure to do its job. Hope this helps and good luck.
