Walking Stick Ferrules

The ferrule on the tip of a walking stick or cane provides the grip, floor protection, and noise reduction that makes the difference between a stick that slips on smooth floors and one that plants firmly with every step. At the DIY Hardware Store, our walking stick ferrules and pads cover the rubber and plastic tip replacements used on standard round and quad-base walking sticks, crutches, and mobility aids.

Rubber ferrules wear down with use, eventually reaching the point where the stick provides little grip on hard floors and begins to make a scraping sound rather than a soft tap. Replacement is straightforward - the worn ferrule is pulled off and the new one is pressed onto the stick base. Ferrule internal diameter must match the stick shaft diameter for a secure fit - measure the shaft diameter before ordering, as sizes vary between makes and models.

Available in standard round section sizes and as flat pad versions for quad-base sticks at the DIY Hardware Store. Keeping a spare ferrule on hand means a worn tip can be replaced immediately rather than waiting for a new order.
