Drive DeVilbiss Walker Glide Ski – Universal Fit for Enhanced Mobility
The Drive DeVilbiss Walker Glide Ski is a simple yet highly effective accessory designed to enhance the mobility and comfort of walker users. By replacing the standard rubber tips found on the rear legs of most folding walkers, these glide skis transform the walking experience, enabling smoother, quieter, and more controlled movement over a variety of indoor and outdoor surfaces. Durable, easy to install, and universally compatible, they are an essential upgrade for individuals who rely on a walker as part of their daily routine.
Traditional rubber walker tips can sometimes drag, stick, or wear down unevenly, causing unnecessary strain on the user’s arms and wrists. The Drive DeVilbiss Walker Glide Ski solves this issue by reducing friction and providing a consistent gliding motion. This allows users to push their walker forward with less effort, conserving energy while also improving balance and stability. The skis are particularly beneficial for those who experience discomfort when lifting their walker repeatedly, as they encourage a more natural and flowing walking pattern.
Constructed from durable composite plastic, the glide skis are built to withstand daily use without compromising performance. Their universal design ensures compatibility with most 1-inch folding walkers, including popular models from leading mobility manufacturers. Once fitted, the skis allow the walker to glide smoothly across surfaces such as hardwood, carpet, vinyl, and tile, reducing noise and vibration while maintaining reliable stability. This makes them suitable for both home environments and public settings like shopping centres, hospitals, and care facilities.
Installation is straightforward and tool-free. Users or caregivers can simply remove the existing rubber tips from the rear legs of the walker and slide the glide skis onto the tubing. The secure fit ensures stability without the need for complicated adjustments or additional equipment. Their lightweight design means they add no unnecessary bulk to the walker, while the smooth base ensures they do not damage flooring or leave marks.
In terms of user benefits, the Drive DeVilbiss Walker Glide Ski supports independence and confidence in everyday mobility. By reducing resistance and drag, they make walkers easier to manoeuvre, helping individuals move more freely and comfortably. This is especially valuable for users who spend long periods walking with a mobility aid, as it minimises fatigue and strain. With a robust weight capacity of up to 350 lbs (159 kg), the glide skis can accommodate a wide range of users without compromising safety.
The neutral grey colour blends seamlessly with most walker frames, maintaining a discreet and professional look. Backed by a one-year limited warranty, these glide skis provide not only practical benefits but also peace of mind in terms of quality and durability. Whether used at home or in a care environment, they are an affordable and practical solution that can significantly improve the overall walker experience.
