Leki Tips Awesome and Tough

Rating:*****
I use my Leki walking sticks and the Fitness Walking Tips as aids in walking. They get heavy daily use from morning to night.
I bought this set of walking tips at the same time I wrote my complaint that the other set split. These are still going after some thirteen months.

I added the 'cons' only as a warning that little pieces of gravel or rock can gather between the groves on the tips. The rocks act as ball bearing on hard surfaces and the stick can slip if the sticks are set down at an angle and pressure applied.
I check the bottoms after every walk in gravel and rock. The groves spread open easily to get rid of the debris before stepping onto a hard surface. If a person sets the sticks down vertically, it is less of a problem.

I can't praise the walking sticks and tips highly enough...they're lightweight, strong without bulk and the tips quickly come off to use the pole tips for stability in dirt, trails or lawn.

Another thing, I often use the tips and sticks to mop spills on my floor...they do anything and go anywhere... I got my money's worth a long time ago.

These little walking tips muffle the sound of the tap dancing poles on the pavement! Thanks - now my neighbors can't hear me coming.

Negative Reviews:

Poorly designed

Rating:*
Great idea, poor execution.

Tips were tested on "non-REI logo" Komperdell poles in both orientations (forward and backward).

The problem: When the pole is inserted into the walking tip, it enters a void equal in size to the profile of the tip. This undefined open space allows the pole to shift inside the tip as pressure is applied. Even slight pressure makes the tip squirm around on the end of the pole.

The solution: There should be a single, narrow channel to accept the tip of the pole, preventing any movement of the pole within the walking tip. The rubber compound provides sufficient flexibility on its own.

Fragile the Leki tip came through one

Rating:***
I use my Leki poles everywhere and prefer the walking tip over the standard tip.
It gives more cushion and broadens the poles base and adds to the stability.
I don't like that it rotates but not enough to stop using them...unless the new one I buy today cracks too.
