L.L.Bean/Komperdell Rubber Walking Tips

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Will these rubber walking tips fit my hiking poles?

  A: They are compatible with our hiking poles and Komperdell hiking poles only. They fit over the pole's carbide tip for walking on hard surfaces. They are not intended to fit other pole brands.

• Q: What surfaces are these walking tips best for?

  A: They are made for walking on asphalt, concrete, and other hard surfaces. On pavement, the rubber tip covers the carbide point and helps provide more secure contact. If you'd rather use your pole's carbide tip, you can remove the rubber tip.

• Q: Do these tips help protect carbide pole tips from wear?

  A: Yes, they are designed to cover and help protect the carbide tips of your hiking poles on hard ground. Using them on pavement can help reduce tip wear over time. They are a smart add-on for neighborhood walks and paved paths.

• Q: Are they easy to put on and take off?

  A: Yes, they are designed to slip on and off easily. That makes it simple to adjust when your route includes sidewalks or other hard surfaces. If you're switching surfaces often, it's handy to keep them where you can grab them quickly.

• Q: What are the walking tips made of?

  A: They are made entirely of rubber. The rubber cap is intended for use on asphalt or concrete. If the tip starts to look worn, it's a good time to replace it.
