Why Choose Carex® Walker Ski Glides?
Walker ski glides are useful for people who have difficulty lifting a wheeled walker as they move. Instead of the rear legs catching on the floor, the curved glides allow the walker to slide smoothly while the front wheels provide the primary rolling movement.
The ski-style profile is designed to move over a variety of surfaces, including carpet, concrete, tile and outdoor terrain. Carex positions these glides as a practical alternative to walker tennis balls, with a purpose-built shape for easier movement.

Compatibility
Carex states that the Walker Ski Glides fit most walkers and are designed to attach to the back legs of wheeled walkers. The manufacturer's distributor information specifies 1-1/8-inch diameter tubing.
Measure the outside diameter of the walker tubing before ordering. “Fits most walkers” does not mean every walker has the same leg diameter or mounting configuration. Do not force the glide onto tubing that is too large or too small.
Surfaces
The curved ski design is intended to glide over many common surfaces, including carpet, concrete, tile and outdoor landscape. Carex also states that the glides are designed to slide over hardwood floors without scratching under normal intended use.
Surface condition still matters. Use additional caution on wet, icy, oily, loose or highly uneven surfaces where traction and walker stability may be reduced.
Usage and Safety Information
Remove the existing rear walker caps or feet and install the ski glides on the rear legs of the wheeled walker. Secure them according to the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Before use, pull firmly on each glide to confirm it is securely attached. Both rear glides should be installed correctly and should contact the walking surface evenly.
Inspect the glides regularly for cracks, excessive wear, deformation or looseness. Replace them if the plastic becomes damaged or the glide no longer remains securely attached.
Use the ski glides only on a walker configuration for which they are compatible. They are intended to assist walker movement and are not a substitute for proper walker technique or a stable walking surface.
