how long do they last before they start to break apart.

I have my rain-guard nonslip cane tip now for almost a year and it still works. It has not yet cracked and hope it doesnt. I hope this was helpful.

I just had to replace my first pair after a year of daily use on standard crutches.

My son uses those crutch tips daily. We have only bought one set and that was at the beginning of this school year. That was seven months ago and they are still going strong.

I used them for about 2 months before I didn't need my crutches anymore, and they're still going strong! Very helpful in the snow and ice

I have had them over a year now and they are still in great shape. Best money I ever spent.

I've only had mine since Feb. 6, but they are still not showing wear (better than any others I've had yet)...I've been on crutches for most of the past 2.5 years, having 9 surgeries on my hip. I've been through lots of crutch tips and these are the only ones that haven't shown any wear after a month.

My son got them for me for Christmas last December. I now need a new pair. The standard tips would only last one or two weeks before the bottoms/sides would either split off or the treads would wear down.

I purchased a set two months ago and they are STILL in GOOD SHAPE with very little wear showing -- IF ANY!!!. What I am trying to say basically is that every other cane tip I had ever purchased over the last 15 years of using a cane every day was basically trash that may last a few weeks if I were lucky. These are excellent cane tips that are totally remarkable! I had tried almost everything out there but I'm sold on Rain-Guard! I don't plan on buying any of that other junk as-long-as Rain-Guard is around!

We kept ours for play for at least 2-3 months in a plastic storage bin. They did not fall apart and stayed hydrated. They might have shrunk down a little but it was very slow.

That's not an easy question to answer as I haven't worn any out yet! I would estimate that they would last for a number of years. I live in a 'Blast furnace' called Arizona and if they last a number of years here they should last a LONG time anywhere else!

I have a pair that I have used twice a day, 5 days a week, one hour at a time (for train commuting) for 6.5 years. After each use, I compress the telescoping parts and fold them up. Within the last month or two, I've just started to see some breakdown. The seam is coming apart on one side on the soft plastic that covers the foam on the part that cups the ear and touches the head. I'm still using it without discomfort. One of these months I'll get around to putting a piece of tape on it to stop the tear from spreading.

I have had mine for a while now, and they are still going strong. At least 5+ months.

It depends on how heavy the usage is on your system. They usually last about 3 to 4 months with our system.

don't know. When I buy them they are usually good for 6 to 12 months or longer.

When they start to fray and become close to the metal. I have noticed that one wears more than the others so if that one is replaced early enoughthe others will last longer.

They last about a year. I have been buying them for about five years and Amazon has the best prices. I think you will be happy with them. Hope this helped.

After you digest them how long does it take for them to breakdown or dislove?

You know I'm not sure but they are not terribly sturdy, altho I love them... I've had them drop and crack so as not to be usable..bummer.. So it's not likely an item that will last a long,long time.

I would say a few weeks, depending where you put them. If you have them in a rather air-tight container, they last a very long time...if there is air exchange, they obviously won't last as long. I like them a lot but I did have one go bad on me...when I was re-charging...for some odd reason, the balls turned black...rendering that one useless...the others that were in the same condition and were heated for the same time did just fine...

If you wipe them down after each session, and you don't break them--they'll be good for 8-12 months at least.

Probably not durable enough. Plus if you have to wash them they will fall apart. The seller will not help you if they fall apart.

I've had some over 6 months and they are still good. They have kind of a wax outer shell so I think they would keep for some time.

They last a long time, since there's nothing much to break or foul. All the plastic ones, even though they have some metal parts, break down pretty quickly, since the firing mechanisms are more complicated. Simplicity is the key.

I had a pair for about 12 years and then one night my husband snapped them. Didn't know his own strength. The new ones I have. I hand wash them, only takes a second.
