Many PwP use a walker with a pushing movement rather than the traditional lift-and-advance technique - and rubber feet create friction that makes pushing hard work, especially across carpet or tile. Ski glides resolve this by replacing friction with smooth forward slide, making the walker easier to move with each step. We chose these because they fit universally (1-inch legs covers virtually all standard walkers), they install without specialist tools, and the included velour covers mean floors at home are protected. A low-cost accessory that meaningfully changes how a walker feels to use.
Walker Ski Glides replace the rubber feet on a standard walker with low-friction plastic inserts, allowing the walker to slide forward smoothly rather than requiring a full lift-and-place motion with each step. For anyone using a pushing gait rather than lifting the frame, the difference is substantial.
The glides fit any walker with 1-inch diameter legs and install in a few minutes with a Phillips screwdriver. Included velour covers slip over the glides for indoor use, protecting floors from scratches and reducing noise. The covers remove easily when heading outdoors.
Sold as a pair (2 glides + 2 covers). 60-day guarantee.
