Do you mean a cruch tip on the top?

I never thought of that. 

If so that does sound pretty cool.

Okay. I used crutch tips and those are a bit bulky.

Yes with super glue which worked nicely until the next dropping of the cane,

really my best luck and length of survival of the top was coating it with

tape.

Yes, but have you ever tried to repair one?

I am laughing outloud because mine usually was gone in the first week also

until I tried the tape trick.

Edwin, thank you so much for that tip. Does anyone know how to repair or



replace the top once it has been broken? I have tried different things.



They're functional but not practical.

You are so right Connie about the tops breaking on the fifty fifty canes



vary easily.



I love mine and I have had good luck with wrapping a bit of tape on the top



and it has kept them from breaking when falling.

Tony, I have two and I like them. Just be careful about dropping it. The top



breaks easily. In my opinion, they are the only folding cane that comes



close to resembling a straight cane.
