An improved tip for a crutch or cane includes a heel portion extending rearwardly from the tip at an upward angle such that the bottom surface of the heel portion frictionally engages the floor when the cane is tilted rearwardly from a vertical. The heel is made of rubber or other high friction material and is provided with treads on its bottom surface to enhance frictional engagement of the floor.
