Description
The Drive Medical 10106 is a pair of rear glide brakes that puts a 3 in (7.6 cm) wheel on each back leg of a wheeled walker.
What does it do and how does it work?
- A 3 in (7.6 cm) wheel on each rear leg rolls as you push.
- Weight on the hand grips presses a rubber tip down and steadies the walker.
- Ease off the grips and the wheel rolls again; there is no lever to squeeze.
- Eight height positions line the legs up with the frame.
- The pair is rated to 350 lb (159 kg).
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- For a walker user who tires of lifting the back of the frame with every step.
- Choose a rollator for a seat, a basket and hand brakes that lock.
- Choose a front wheel set to convert the front instead.
Will it fit?
- The pair replaces the rear legs of a wheeled walker, not the front.
- Measure the rear tube and count the button holes; the eight positions must line up.
- Send a photo of the old leg's button holes and we check the match before your order.
Using it day to day
- Set both rear legs to the same position so the walker stands level.
- Wipe grit from the wheel and the rubber tip, the part that wears first.
- Order a new pair when the tip turns smooth; the 10106 comes only as a pair.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It fits the rear of a wheeled walker; the frame and front wheels are not included.
- The tip steadies the walker under your weight; it does not lock the wheels.
- The 350 lb (159 kg) limit is the most weight the pair carries.
How does it compare?
- The Drive two-button walker with 5 in front wheels is a complete walker with rear tips that this pair replaces.
- A four-wheel rollator adds a seat, a basket and hand brakes.

Frequently asked questions
Are both sides in the box?
Yes. The 10106 is one pair, one brake for each rear leg; the frame is not included.
Can they go on the front of the walker?
No. Each one is a rear leg, and a front conversion uses a separate wheel set.
Do they lock the walker in place?
Not fully. The rubber tip presses down as you lean on the grips, so the walker steadies rather than locks.
What wears first on the pair?
The rubber tip. Wipe it clean and order a new pair when it looks smooth.
