Self-Standing Walking Stick Tip – Six-Foot Rubber Base (19mm)

Ever leaned a walking stick against the table, only to hear it clatter to the floor the second you turn your back? This little six-footed tip puts a stop to that. Push it onto the end of the stick and it stands up on its own, right where you left it, so there's no more bending down to fish it off the floor.

The wide base spreads across six rubber feet with a deep, grippy tread underneath, so it sits steady on kitchen tiles, footpaths, grass and gravel alike. A metal insert inside the collar adds strength and takes a bit of the jolt out of each step.

It fits sticks with a 19mm (¾ inch) tube, which covers most standard adjustable and folding walking sticks, but do measure the end of yours before ordering. It stands about 7cm tall and comes in black.

A small, practical gift for a parent or grandparent who'd never think to buy one for themselves. Pick up two for €15: one for the stick at home and a spare for the one that lives in the car.
