ABSTRACT:
A glide cap for a walker of the type has four legs that extend into contact with the ground and support an upper handgrip portion. The glide cap encompasses at least a portion of the bottom of an elastomeric tip placed on the end of at least one of the legs of the walker. The glide cap has a hardness greater than the hardness of the elastomeric tip such that any vibration or noise caused by skidding the glide cap across a surface is dampened.
