The rubber ferrule at the base of your walking stick, crutch, or Zimmer frame is one of its most important safety features. It provides the essential grip needed to prevent slips and falls, ensuring you can move with confidence across various Irish surfaces, from kitchen floors to outdoor paths.
For your safety, it's vital to check your ferrule regularly. If the tread pattern has worn smooth or the rubber shows signs of cracking, it's time for a replacement.
