Professional ferrule replacement for Devon mobility aids - worn rubber tips replaced with fresh ones for safe, non-slip walking.
Don't Slip On Worn Ferrules
Ferrules wear down. Smooth rubber doesn't grip - that's when slips happen. Quick replacement restores safe walking.
💡 Pro tip: Check your ferrules every month. Run your finger over them - if they feel smooth instead of textured, it's replacement time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's a ferrule?
The rubber tip on the bottom of your walking stick or frame legs. It grips the floor and wears down over time. Worn ferrules slip.
How do I know when to replace?
Look for cracks, smooth patches, or obvious wear. If the rubber is shiny instead of textured, it's lost its grip.
Do you have the right size?
We carry common sizes. Unusual sizes may need ordering, but most standard sticks and frames use standard ferrules.
Can you do my walking stick too?
Yes - walking sticks, frames, crutches, tripods. Any mobility aid with rubber ferrules.
