Pair of Extended Life Vulcanized Rubber Replacement Tips Paws Ferrules for Walking Hiking Poles Fits Almost All Brands of Trekking Poles for Walking Hiking & Travel – Rated 500 Miles

I use these on west trail with lot leaves. They are best I have ever tried and I have tried a lot. Just using just tip you pick up leave, get stuck on roots and get ground suction. These take care all these issue. If nordic walk on trails these way to go. They provide great traction when pushing back with poles. I will definitely get them again. Work great on wet roads when stand feet slip. Update 4 month use. I have found even on dry pavement they at least durable as most shoes. I think this because of soft and do not slide. They make walking much quieter, plus they slightly cushion impact which make walking more pleasant. The extra traction means slipping is eliminated if your style is push off or slight back angle. I walk about 1200 miles per year with poles and have tried about 1/2 dozen different styles. These the absolute best. Poles have different tips. If they slight loss one or two wraps with electrical tape eliminate problem. The tips are best. 9 month update. I had first tip fail. 5 still ok. I think still have couple months left on one pole set. I use 3 different lengths. I find they last walking on pavement about 350 to 400 miles, but i push back very hard, plus put down pressure between 15/20 lb. my goal is workout, not pleasant stroll. They are best, l am going order three more sets, so have them waiting.

I purchased these to replace a set of hiking tips where one tip fell off and the other tip was punctured by the carbide tip on my trekking poles. I purchased samples of each type of replacement tip I could find on the Internet and experimented with each tip on a variety of rock, dirt, and packed trails to prepare for several days of hiking on trails in Montana. I found these tips to be more stable than other tip I used. I loved how the ribs come up each side which gave added traction for both uphill and downhill trails. They were a little slick on wet trails, but I have had the same problem with all tips I have used. While I also like using rubber feet, I like how I don't have to worry about twisting the feet on these tips to make sure they aren't sideways. I highly doubt I will hit the 500 mile advertised rate, but even 100 miles will be double the life of any other tips I tested. They stay on well - although it may still be wise to tape them on since they are so expensive. Note: I use carbon fiber poles from Foxelli.

I love these tips! I was looking for a replacement for my walking stick tip, which had worn down. These tips are so much better than what I had before. Due to the design, you can really rock the walking stick forward and back as you walk, and it rolls with your stride. But the best thing for me is that they do not slip on wet surfaces! I tried another tip that was non-skid, but it was flat and really made for canes, and I had to plant the stick straight which made my hand hurt. These tips work really well on wet surfaces, which is important for me, since I go to an indoor pool twice a week, and I use the walking stick for stability. And I really did not want to have to change tips for different occasions. These tips work well on all surfaces. I've been using it for several weeks now, and other than the little nib of the central rubber nodule, they haven't shown any wear at all. They are a little big for my walking stick, but fit quite snuggly after I put a rubber band on the stick. They come 2 to a package, so it's nice to know that I have a backup if this one does wear out at some point. I highly recommend these!

I can't imagine what the reviewers who say these wear out quickly are doing with their poles - I hike 25-30 miles a week in the American Southwest, almost all of which occurs on broken rock and gravel. I have never found much value in the tips that come with hiking poles, because they rarely last more that a couple of weeks. Even the bare carbide tips usually last only 2 to 3 months. The Pace Maker tips last about as long as the bare metal tips do, so I essentially get a new pair of poles for the cost of a pair of these tips. Last year, I hiked the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim (around 24 miles of rocky trail) and the pair of Pace Makers I used barely showed any wear at all. In addition, the rolling motion you get when the tip hits the ground and the pole rotates forward is great, very secure and smooth. I would recommend these tips without reservation to anyone who does a lot of hiking on almost any terrain. And they don't mark or degrade trails as much as the smaller diameter standard tips do.

I liked my pair of these so much that I went shopping for more! The grip and sturdiness of these tips for my hiking sticks work on all surfaces. However, be careful coming onto a smooth surface if they are wet! I think that I have been using my first pair for about a year and little wear has occurred! I use them indoors and out to assist me in walking all the time!

Was good for hiking on uneven terrain since catches on all sides.
