I bought these tips to power my daily walk around my neighborhood on concrete roads. They were easy to install and have increased my walking speed and comfort. My only complaint is that they seem to be wearing quite quickly. [...] Very pleased.

Walking pole on paved surface. Tips that came with pole wore out in one week. Can't find replacement local.

Thes power tips really grip the floor. No sliding like the flat bottom ones do. For everyday use as a walking cane up to adventure walking. They are the best!
Wear out quickly on pavement.
By Eric
from South Porltand, ME on 11/17/2006
Pros:
Fit snugly on poles, Good traction
Cons:
Wore out very quickly
These trekking pole tips fit snugly on the poles and offer secure traction on pavement but wore out extremely quickly, showing significant wear (estimate 25% of useable life) in approximately 4 miles on pavement. Very disappointing.
