[Blindtlk] When to Exchange Cane Tips?

[AlyssaHenson]

Roller tips last a good long time. I personally wouldn't replace it until it's too sharp or so misshapen it's a safety risk. I would say on average it's good to replace it once a year just to be safe. Of course tips made of different materials last different lengths of time. It also depends on how regularly you use your cane. I'm happy to answer further questions if they arise.

I have not yet gotten to a point with a tip where I have had to do this but just do not want to end up using a tip that is too far gone to be of value. I am using a roller tip so am especially interested in those types if it differs from tip type to tip type.
