Description
The Airgo Walker Glides (model 780-010) are a gray pair of ski-shaped rear tips for a walker with 1 in (2.5 cm) tubing. They push onto the legs without tools.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Each glide is a curved ski that fits over the bottom of a walker leg.
- The parabolic curve slides over carpet and uneven floors instead of digging in.
- The Sur-Lock fitting pushes on by hand.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- For a walker whose rear tips are worn, split or missing.
- For carpet, thresholds and uneven floors where rubber tips catch.
- Choose walker wheels if you need the rear of the walker to roll.
- Choose another tip if the legs are not 1 in (2.5 cm) across.
Will it fit?
- Fits walker legs with 1 in (2.5 cm) outside-diameter tubing.
- Measure across the bottom of one leg with a ruler before ordering.
- Most walkers with that tube size take them.
- Walkers with 1-1/8 in (29 mm) legs need a different glide.
Using it day to day
- Pull the old tip off, wipe the tube end, and push the glide on until it seats.
- Fit both the same way so the walker stands level.
- Replace a glide when the ski edge wears through.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- For walker rear legs, not canes or crutches, which take smaller tips.
- They glide; they do not brake, lock or turn the walker.
How does it compare?
- The quad cane tip is for 3/4 in (19 mm) cane tubes, not walker legs.
- See every walker accessory or all walkers.
Frequently asked questions
