Who'd a thunk... being able to obtain the Duro-med Universal Walker Glides from Amazon (or through Amazon). The product was delivered at a rather rapid pace AND put to work immediately. The Product is sturdy BUT after much use on a walker they DO need to be replaced and it is a great pleasure AND service to be able to find them at this site AND at a relatively better price than from most medical supply stores. For any one using a walker these gliders work so much better than the "Tennis Balls" that many people put on the rear stands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rosie Mae loves them!, January 9, 2007

This review is from: Duro-Med Universal Walker Glides (Health and Beauty)

My mother (Rosie Mae)has chronic pain in several areas of her body and has had to use a walker for the past 3 years, and she also has an electronic pain control mechanism implanted in her back. When she first got her walker, it had plastic inserts in the rear legs, but then, one of them popped out and was lost "somewhere". Many people told her to use tennis balls, but I was wondering how to handle her using her walker outside and cleaning those dirty tennis balls afterwards. I logged on and entered the words "walker accessories" in the search bar. When I saw these "walker glides" I thought first about the design..curved like a ski. Perfect! I got the glides and put them on her walker, she took off! "Hey, I like these here!", she said. My joy comes in making my Mom comfortable and happy in whatever way I can, and the walker glides definitely made an impression on both of us. She's still in much pain, and on serious pain medication, but at least she can move smoothly about when she needs to. [...].

These things are great. Especially if you move around a lot. They last 50x longer than tennis balls(my educated guess). They glide over every surface very easily. The way they are designed make it safer for you because it stabilizes the walker so it cannot go backwards. Otherwise, not much more to say. They work as advertised and they are a lot cheaper than other glides on this site!
