Description
The Pop'N Glide Walker Skis are durable composite glide caps that pop onto the rear legs of 1 inch folding walkers, replacing the rubber tips that drag, catch, and wear. With skis fitted, the walker glides smoothly over most surfaces instead of being lifted at every step.
- Glide, Do Not Lift – Skis let the rear legs slide – the stop-lift-drag rhythm that exhausts walker users disappears
- Durable Composite – Made of a durable composite built for daily sliding – outlasts the rubber tips they replace
- Pops Onto 1 Inch Legs – Sized for 1 inch diameter folding walker legs – installation is a push, not a project
- Most Surfaces – Designed to glide over most indoor and outdoor surfaces – thresholds and carpet edges stop ending the walk
The Small Caps That Change How a Walker Moves
A standard walker on rubber tips moves in a stutter: lift, place, drag. The rear tips are the drag, catching on carpet, thresholds, and sidewalk seams, and wearing into grippy stubs that make it worse. Glide skis replace that friction with a smooth composite foot that slides as the walker advances, so the user pushes the walker forward in one motion.
The manufacturer's Pop'N Glide skis are made of durable composite and sized to pop onto 1 inch diameter folding walker tubing, the standard rear leg size. They are the current number for the manufacturer's long-running walker ski design, formerly its P3272.

Why Walker Users Switch to Skis and Stay
The lift-and-drag gait is not a minor annoyance. It is the reason walkers get left in corners. Skis convert the walker into something that rolls with the user's stride, and walkers that move easily are walkers that get used, which is the entire point of owning one.
- Continuous Motion – The walker advances in one push – shoulders and arms stop paying for every step twice
- Threshold Friendly – Glides cross carpet edges and door thresholds that stop rubber tips – rooms reconnect into one route
- Longer Service Life – Composite glides wear slowly and evenly – the replacement cycle stretches from weeks to seasons

What surfaces do they glide on?
The manufacturer describes them gliding over most surfaces. They are at their best on hard floors, low carpet, and smooth outdoor paths.
Do they replace the rubber tips?
Yes, the skis pop on in place of the rear rubber tips. Keep the removed tips if you ever want to switch back.
What was this product called before?
