Review: Great for uneven and rocky ground. - I like the added stability when walking on uneven ground. The only think I dislike is one of the tips may be defective. The metal teeth emerge will emerge without my turning the mechanism and I have to stop walking to turn the mechanism by hand to hide them. It’s a problem when walking on wood floors and tile.
Review: Works quite well for me - I suffered a tibial plateau fracture which will have me using crutches for 3 months. I'm a caregiver for my 94 year old mother, so I was looking for better tips with more grip and stability. Also I live in Michigan with winter on its way. They work great on tile and hardwood floors and grass and concrete. The retractable spike will unlock after a time using the crutches. The reason is that they grip very well to all surfaces. So to alleviate this issue, I loosened the screw and removed the spike mechanism while not needed for ice., and reinstall when being outside on ice. The weight is perfect for swinging the crutches while carrying plates of food and drinks which is excellent. Also a bonus with the cross footprint is you can hook and grab things with them. They are pricey but worth it if you are an active person with crutches. They fit very tight to the aluminum hospital crutches I was given. Good product

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do the small spikes retract?  Is it something I can adjust quickly when going in/out of someone's house?**
A: Just press and twist the button in the middle of the metal spikes . Its easy and quick

**Q: I love this, but the spikes sometimes release down for no apparent reason. Yes, I turn the switch counter-clockwise. Suggestions?**
A: I have this same problem as well. No solution other than to reset the spikes back up into the cap? Also I have a problem with snow and ice pack making the spikes almost useless. I have to use my house key or such to frequently clear the spikes of ice so that they may do there job.

**Q: Do they fit all canes ??**
A: Yes, 99% of all canes ... If it doesnt fit perfectly, it comes with an adjustment so that it does!

**Q: Can you expand on how these crutch tips retract for indoor use?  i assume they fit ergobaum 7g, and i would need to order two for crutches?**
A: hello,

These tips have a twisting mechaanism in the bottom of the tip. If you twist the button, spikes will release. When you want to retract them, you push and twist and they will retract again on the inside of the tip. For crutches, please order 2 units, for canes, you only would need 1.

Best,

Team Ergoactives

### ⭐ Performance bad, expensive and hard to manipulate
*by K***S on January 2, 2022*

I have used Ergobaum crutches for three years. Am a new amputee from motorcycle accident. Love love love the crutches. Have terrain caps now. Have had couple falls lately that left me with sprained ankle. First time frightening experience in that I am not mobile unless I crawl. We figure the tips are worn. They are not the original tips. Putting on mtn tips has been bad from the start. They were incredibly difficult to get on. One spike circle broke off. Got them on best as I can but they are not on same as previous tips. The one spike circle will not stay up. Every time I put them up they end up back down. I can tell by the sound of the crutch when I walk. Even trying to put them in up position is hard to do. In fact I am not able to move the inner piece at all, my husband has to do this. For such a tried and true product, I have to go to another company for tips that are super slip resistant, that don’t break, and are easy to put on and to move in/out on spike piece. Have to say that this whole experience surprises me in that the crutches are amazing. I have purchased three pairs of crutches and am due for another set. Thank you for opportunity to share this experience.
