Ferrules

Selecting the correct size ferrule
Sticks and walking frames need to be checked visually at regular intervals to ensure the ferrule does not need replacing; if the edges or base appear worn, then the ferrule should be renewed.
Different sizes of ferrule are available to fit different shafts of walking sticks, walking frames and crutches.You will also see in our range we describe two different styles of ferrule:- Black “D Type” and Grey “Z Type”
D Type ferrules generally come in smaller diameters, and are regularly used on sticks. Z Type ferrules generally come in larger diameters, and can be used on some sticks, on walking frames and crutches.
To determine the ferrule size required, measure the shaft of the stick or frame; it is likely to measure between 18mm and 25mm depending on the stick or frame type. Alternatively, measure the inner diameter of the ferrule you have removed.
