I’ve had two students tell me they have worn out the rubber tips on their LEKI Nordic Walking poles. Amazing. But they live in Florida and the couple goes out twice a day! THAT’s pretty hard core.
They love it. So they wore them down to metal. Believe me, that is very unusual and I commend them for their devotion.

Since it’s hard to find true Nordic Walking poles (not hiking poles) at most locales, – it’s very hard to find new tips. Some sports stores do sell rubber tips for hiking poles. These will work. But they are round and not tapered with the “toe” that is in the back to allow max friction. Your call. Some do carry the correct tips, but I noticed that they are oversized and kinda clunky.
Let me know if you need a set. I can order them and have them shipped to you. If you have other brand poles, I’m sure the LEKI’s will fit on your poles. Keep up the good work!
