NOVA Medical Products Walker Glide Skis, Gray

Duran más que las pelotas

Bought this for my dad, he loves it. He said they're more durable than the original ones that came with the walker. If he's happy with it then this deserves a 5!

I bought these before, and bought again to have a spare set. These were bought for my mother's walker. She is 95 years old. She has some circulation problems in her legs and feet, thus making them weaker and having pain. Otherwise she is fairly healthy for her age. The places near to where we live were out of stock on these. I saw the diameter of the tubing on her walker is a bit smaller than the proper size for these. I used some Duct Tape to build up the diameter. I inserted the skid over the enlarged diameter tubing. It was perfect. I re-enforced them with some Duct Tape wound around the outer part to the tubing. Perfect! The first thing my mother noticed with these skids being larger than the original ones especially for the skid part is they slide better and smoother on floors. They have less tendency to lift rugs when she goes over them. For an elderly person lifting the walker over the edge of rugs and keeping balanced is a bit of a strain. We also noticed the bottoms of this model of skids are slightly thicker. This will make them last longer than the originals. She walks a little on sidewalks, and around in shopping malls with her walker to have some exercise. Very satisfied with these skids. They worked out perfect for my mother. I would recommend them.

I did a lot of reading of reviews. Right now I must use a walker, both inside and outside the house. The average tip for the glider wears out in no time when you use it on cement. Within days. So I wanted something more durable. These are outstanding! First they are made of very heavy duty material. Secondly, they absolutely glide across carpeting, much easier to walk with, relieving the natural strain to some degree of pushing the walker around. Third they were easy to put on. I am very impressed with these after trying 3 other kinds. I will update in a few weeks to tell you how long they lasted. Most especially if you use your walker indoors, these are absolutely perfect. They will last you a long time, and make walking a little easier. UPDATE: April 23 I have been using these almost 3 weeks. There is very little sign of wear. They are made well, really do glide and I am on cement a lot as I take my walker everyplace. I highly recommend these Update May 20th. Be using these 2 months. Go out to doctors often, to restaurants, to the mall, over cement, over uneven driveways, over rough tiles, almost daily. There is absolutely NO WEAR on these. I am so impressed. This is the first pair of gliders I have had that stood the test of time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Update June 26 Have had these over 2 months. Been using outdoors a lot, and indoors, so far no wear. I have used these over hardened tiles, pavement, sidewalks, and I am rather amazed at how they are holding up. I have tried quite a few tips for walkers and not had this kind of result with anything else. Most of my other kinds of tips wore out within a 2 week period, yet here I have used these everyday for many surfaces and they show no wear. This is a great investment, and you will be happy with them. Cannot believe the negative reviews on this. I have tested them well, and found them a very sturdy product.

Easy to use and fix
