Safe and durable even on wet roads! Elxi rubber tips recommended by physical therapists
Many people realize for the first time, once they start walking with a cane, that "the roads have so many different faces." The smooth tiles at the station, the rough pavement, the tactile paving blocks wet from the rain... It's no wonder that they worry about slipping every time the environment changes.
The small rubber tip attached to the end of the cane helps to ease this anxiety and allows you to take a step with confidence.
Elxi all-season tire tips utilize studless tire technology to provide excellent grip even on wet roads, supporting walking. They can be used in any season, and you can tell when it's time to replace them at a glance, making them a more comfortable and safer option for everyday outings.

In my daily clinical practice, it is not uncommon to see cases where people slip and fall on their canes on rainy days, or to see people who continue to use their canes without noticing that the rubber tip has worn down. |

When you try to replace the rubber tip of a cane, it can be hard to remove or it can be difficult to fit in. For this reason, it is best to have a professional replace it for you rather than trying to do it yourself.
KINDCARE also sells a "Cane Tip Rubber Replacement Card (3,300 yen including tax)," which allows a specialized sales staff member to replace the cane tip rubber unlimitedly for two years, so be sure to check that out as well.

Three points recommended by physical therapists about Elxi All Season Rubber
| ① | Reliable grip that won't slip even on rainy days |
|
Going out on rainy days can be a worry for cane users. The Elxi rubber tip provides excellent stability on wet surfaces thanks to its protrusions and tread pattern, and has been shown to provide 1.5 times more friction than conventional products. I think the biggest appeal of these tires is that they provide a secure grip that reduces anxiety in rainy weather.
* May not be suitable for all environments, such as snowy roads. |
| ② | Reliable in any season! Durable and usable all year round |
|
The technology used in studless tires means they don't harden easily even in low temperatures, and the rubber doesn't deteriorate easily. They offer consistent comfort all year round, making them ideal for those who want to reduce the hassle of changing the rubber tips for each season.
|
| ③ | "Color change sign" that lets anyone know when it's time to replace the filter |
|
Tip rubbers are consumables, so if you continue to use them without noticing wear, the risk of falling increases. The Elxi tip rubber has a two-layer structure and changes color, making it very convenient to visually determine when it's time to replace it. It is reassuring to know that you and your family can understand the condition without having to be checked by a specialist. |

The Elxi All-Season rubber tip offers excellent grip for safe walking on wet surfaces, year-round durability, and a reliable design that makes it easy to see when it's time to replace it. It's a safe and comfortable item that's less affected by weather or seasons, making everyday outings safer and more comfortable. Recommended for those who want to enjoy walking with peace of mind.
