If you have a disability or long-term illness you can purchase our products without paying VAT. Select your status above before purchasing.

Each of our ferrules has been carefully designed to be cushioned, shock absorbing and yet robust.  These will keep jarring to a minimum and the added grip will stop you from slipping as much as possible. The design ensures any impact or fear from using crutches is minimised and your upper body joints are protected.

Depending on your lifestyle and weight bearing requirements, you may wear through them more quickly than others. It is strongly recommended you keep a close eye on your ferrules and ensure these are replaced before any wear-through happens. It is also advisable to ensure you have a spare pair of ferrules at all times so you are never caught short. This is particularly key when travelling.

When changing your ferrules, it is key to check the grey plugs/caps in the bottom of your sticks are secure and in place before putting new ferrules on. 

For more information about how to change your rubber tips on crutches and walking sticks please see our How To Videos.

Available to buy in pairs only. These will also fit on any standard crutches and walking sticks that take a 19mm size ferrule.

All of our walking sticks, crutches and accessories qualify for VAT exemption for eligible individuals. To enjoy this benefit, please select VAT exempt pricing when adding your Cool Crutches, Walking Sticks or Accessories to your basket.

Beautiful stick

I love my new stick in beautiful colours. Bought the little light attachment and it is absolutely fabulous and easier to walk in dark places. The comfy grip is super. I must be honest, I am not a fan of the rubbery loop though, had preferred a woven one.
It’s easier to walk with the new stick, I only always had Third party sticks and they didn’t suit me.

Very useful extra stability

Very useful item on uneven ground as it has a wider "footprint", needed help getting the existing fertile off & this one fitted, gave them a ring and got the help I needed & a link to an instructive video, immediately. Great customer service.

Thank you so much, Annie! Much appreciated x

Great Ferrules

These fit really well and are definitely better than any other ones I have had in the past, I couldn't fit but my husband managed really well and said there is no way they will fail. Definitely worthwhile.

Great news, Jacqueline! Thanks so much for your review x

Comfort at last!

Having pondered for a while about ordering, I'm pleased to say that I'm delighted with my purple walking stick. The hand shape is so comfortable and I've been able to adjust to a proper length which my shoulder is happy about.

Thank you so much, Judith! We're delighted you found us xx

Confidence back

I don’t need to use my beautiful walking stick all the time. But it first arrived oh my it has been a godsend! Not only does it not slip or click but it’s so comfortable and practical it’s perfect! So although at the moment I don’t need to use it all the time. My spine is getting weaker so knowing it’s there for future use & designed by me! Glitter Pink! Thank you for giving me my confidence back too!

Wonderful to hear you have your confidence back, Sarah - we're always here to help! Thank you so much for your review x

Ferrules

A bit difficult to get the old ferrules off but after 10 mins in hot water they eventually came off, new ones were so easy to put on and now I have way more grip. I really should change them more often.

Thank you, Louise! We recommend ferrules are changed every 3-6 months and we now have a ferrule subscription which automatically posts them out to you :)

Walking stick gives me mobility back!

I was once embarrassed to go out with my stick. But now that I have my carbon fibre effect sticks I’ve been given a new lease of life. People have even commented on how modern they look.

Thank you so much for your review, Scott and we're thrilled to hear you have a new lease of life with your carbon fibre stick :)

Ultralite High performance reinforced ferrules

These ferrules are brilliant. I have been using them for a few weeks now. Have always used the standard ones in the pass.

Where I have really noticed the difference was during our lovely rainy July weather when going into a supermarket, normally I am extra careful coming in from the wet to shops as the flooring can be so unsafe. Not with these ferrules the stability & grip is extra reassuring. I’m sure they will be great in the winter too. I will definitely be using these ferrules on all my cool crutches in the future.
