5.0 out of 5 stars Mom Loves it. a definite improvement over 4 aluminum leg type, October 8, 2011

My mother has been using the cane tip for that last month and loves it. She says it helps with stability when walking as the "geco like foot" improves grip and wants to bring the cane to vertical. There are four round "gripper" pads (one per corner) on the underside, while the body is made of rubber that flexes. I tried it out myself and I understand why she likes it so much. Basically it is a runing shoe for your cane. If one corner lands first, that side will felx and cause the cane to want to self center. She also love the fact that her cane is now self standing, so no more finding something to lean it against.
Anothe feature she likes is the smaller size makes it easier to get in and out of her car, and compared to the 4 legged aluminum type like the old man in "UP" uses") there are no protrusions to catch on something Or trip her up.
5 star rating. If someone you love uses a cane. Make this your Christmas present to them.

This cane tip is fantastic! I am new to using canes, have only had one for less than a month...after having it fall over every time I tried to prop it up somewhere, I knew I needed a cane tip that would allow me to stand my cane up just about anywhere. I decided on this one, it was far cheaper than some of the other versions. It was incredibly easy to put on the tip of my cane, it works great, and it isn't as obvious as some of the bigger, bulkier tips. I've even gotten some comments about how "cool" it looks.

I was very excited to see this item and see the positive reviews. I use a walker because of advanced arthritis and balance problems. But it won't go everywhere. This attachment for my cane seemed it would be perfect to help me get into those small spaces my walker would not go. So I did not use it alot. Mostly just to walk through my small bathroom to my toilet. Helps great with the balance and I don't trip over it like the traditional quad cane. BUT, the foot will not stay on the cane. It keeps coming loose and actually falls off the cane while I'm walking. My husband tried retightening it and it the attachment part broke off. I've returned the broken one and just tried the new one and it is falling off already. I can't imagine depending on this for constant all day every day use.

I wanted this to work. I need this to work. But, I don't feel it's safe. I need the security for balance. When that foot falls off, I have nothing for balance but a raw metal end to my cane. THIS ITEM IS NOT SAFE!!! Beware.
