Looking for a Walking Frame with Wheels?

Need to Change Your Ferrules?
After long-term use, the ferrules (feet) of the walking frame can become worn down. To ensure your Zimmer frame remains safe for use, we recommend buying a replacement set of ferrules, such as these 25mm ferrules which are compatible with our range of Coopers Walking Frames.
Read our handy guide on how to replace an old ferrule.
Please Note: While the blog refers to replacing walking stick ferrules, the same principles apply to replacing walking frame ferrules.
