FlexTIP 5" TLC Cool Walking Cane Tripod Foot - Stand Freely and Comfortably

Amazon Customer: Very nice overall and great for yard or outdoors or carpet but in a quiet environment it does make a little clip clop noise on hard surfaces. For outdoor terrain this is very good can tip though. I prefer non-spring rubber tips for indoor or quiet environment hard surfaces. Overall good quality though.

Virginia P.Virginia P.: I needed a more stable tip on the forearm crutch I use instead of a cane. This tip is fabulous because unlike most 3-5 legged tips you don't have to put it straight up and down with each step. Walk normally and if you put one corner down, the whole thing goes down flat. It's magic. But now to the super glue: I saw a couple of reviews here and elsewhere complaining that the small rubber tips on each leg can fall off and get lost, which is a design flaw I admit. So get some super glue and glue those puppies on from the start; don't wait until you lose or almost lose one. PAY ATTENTION to how they line up: there's a dot on the rubber tip that aligns with a line on the leg so the angle is right - glue them on with those lined up. Problem: solved.

Lou LouLou Lou: Works great on my upright cane and makes it very stable. I added tennis racket tape to get a better grip. Just wish this Exact same 3 footed tip was available in the 3" for my trekking pole that I use for a cane.

Amazon Customer: I have Multiple sclerosis and depend on my canes to help me walk. This flex tips are wonderful! So many of the other cane tips that are three prong are too heavy and this one is not. And because of the spring tip it helps with less pressure on your wrist and arm when you go to step and push down on the cane to walk. I Have a handful of different canes and have purchased this tip for two of my canes and I will be purchasing more. It holds the cane up right where it does not fall down when I’m at home and when I’m out and about. I use it all day every day and it is not hard to lift the cane at all! Does take a little bit of getting used to with the spring as you step but then you come to realize it’s helps you bounce back which is wonderful! The flex tip fit one of my canes perfect when I took the old tip off. As I got the second one my cane was a little thinner than the tip of the flex tip so I put black tape around the diameter of my cane to make it a little bigger than I slid it into the flex tip and it fit perfect and does not come off!! This is a great product!!!!!

Just a big guyJust a big guy: The Good: I've been using the flextip everyday for 4 months. It's one of the best cane accessories I've used in the last 5 years. The flextip moves with you as you walk and adjusts under uneven ground. It will adjust on different terrain because of the spring on the bottom. It does absorb impact and swivels well.

The Bad: The 3 rubber feet on the bottom of the flextip are not permanently attached. I happened to lose 1 of the 3 rubber feet and the cane tip is now uneven with every step. There is a piece of metal inside of the spring which has bent causing the cane to not stand up straight. Whenever I try to stand the cane up it leans too far to one side and falls over. I have also tried to twist the cane around to get it to balance itself out but the bend is too great to allow that to happen.

Overall impression: I am disappointed in the build quality because it has seemed to wear out in less than 4 months. There are no replacement parts or contact information for the company which sells this product so the issues I've had can't be remedied. If you plan to use the flextip for daily use you're going to end up needing to buy multiples to get through 1 year based off the...
