FAQs
How many ferrules are included in a pair?
Each purchase includes two rubber tip ferrules, which is sufficient for one pair of walking poles.
Are these ferrules compatible with brands other than Trekmates?
They are designed to fit all Trekmates walking poles. While they might fit poles from other brands with similar tip diameters, we can only guarantee compatibility with Trekmates products.
How do I clean the rubber tip ferrules?
You can clean them by wiping with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What is the material of the ferrules?
The ferrules are made from 100% durable rubber.
Can these ferrules be used on all types of terrain?
Yes, they are suitable for various terrains and help protect both the pole tips and the ground surface. However, on very slippery surfaces, the grip might be reduced compared to exposed metal tips.
How long do these ferrules typically last?
Their lifespan depends on the frequency and type of use. With regular use on varied terrain, they provide a durable solution, but like all rubber products, they will eventually wear down.
Troubleshooting
Ferrules are difficult to attach
Ensure pole tips are clean and dry. Slightly warming the rubber ferrule in warm water can make it more pliable for easier attachment. Ensure you are not trying to fit them onto a pole from a different brand with a non-standard tip size.
Ferrules slip off during use
Check that the ferrule is fully seated on the pole tip. If the ferrule appears stretched or worn, it may need replacement. Ensure the pole tip is not excessively damaged, which could prevent a secure fit.
Ferrules show signs of wear quickly
This may indicate very heavy or rough usage. For extended durability on abrasive surfaces, consider that rubber ferrules have a natural wear rate. Ensure you are using them on appropriate surfaces for maximum lifespan.
