Aventure Crutch and Cane Tips-Product Review

I’ve been testing Aventure replacement crutch tips since April. The crutch tips are made by Keen Mobility and I am going to put them on the Hall of Fame. Good job Keen Mobility. I have mentioned in earlier post that for the past 15 years I have used Tornado crutch tips exclusively, now I have some additional options.

Keen says that the Aventure pivoting tips are “designed to improve safety and mobility on uneven and slick surfaces.” These crutch tips can flex up to 30 degrees for increased surface contact-I can verify that from my own crutch use. I can’t give them a thumbs up when it comes to increased safety and mobility on slick surfaces. Just like other crutch tips on the market they have their limitations. They did not increase my stability on wet or slick surfaces. I still highly recommend the Aventure crutch tips and their cane tips!

Keen says that their replacement crutch tips will fit all standard crutches with 3/4″ to 7/8″ bases. The base on my custom forearm crutches is actually 1″. While a struggle to put on, it does fit. These crutch tips come in various colors and the best thing is the price. A pair of Aventure crutch tips will only cost you $20.00.

Aventure also makes cane tips and tips for smaller crutches. These cane tips fit canes from 1/2″ to 5/8″ diameter. They also come in different colors. Since they are from the same manufacturer and made the same way as their crutch tips-I am also recommending these cane tips. They are priced at $16.oo a pair. I like these crutch and cane tips enough that I am going to make them available with the other crutch tips we sell. If you have had any experiences with the Aventure tips please feel free to comment.
