These are solid. They do really add a few mm in height, which I appreciate, and so far seem to wear down slower than others. I did find, tho, that after my first roll with them, a chip was missing from one of the tips. I don't think it is effecting their grip.
Work as advertised.
Our team eats ferrules. ( we have over 50 kids). We have literally tried dozens of brands and these seem to hold up best. They run a tick small but are very stiff and the carbides do not loosen up easily. The "flats" on the bottom make it easy to twist off with a wrench.
These are easy to install, and are quite durable. I've had bad luck with other ferrule types, and good luck with these!
Excellent tips. The best I have found to date. 20 years Rollerski experience. Still sharp after many skis.
Fits pole beautifully. Stick to the road like glue. Great product!

these ferrules stay sharp for a long time
They work well. They fit easily onto my power slide telescoping poles (although they didn't fit the power slide attachment mechanism, but hot glue worked just fine). They perform well on a variety of hard surfaces. Can't attest to the durability yet.
These fit well to my older Swix CT3 composite poles, are strong and quite sharp out of the box, and should resharpen well, as did the prior 10mm black versions I've used previously. The order also was shipped in two days (back in early December); great service, thank you.
Fit Well and are very sharp.
Excellent service and fantastic product!
The 11 mm ferrules worked great with my late 1980's vintage Exel Ion Ski Poles.
50 km behind so far, they are like new. They required to be heated very good while mounting on the poles.
I've used many sets of these for myself, kids, and the high school team. These are durable and perform well.
I LOVE the product, just a little tricky to get on but they work like a charm.
So far so good, but different from the Swix ferrules I was replacing. Diameter of hole is smaller than Swix, and they therefore don't insert or seat quite properly on the pole tips. They haven't come off, but I was concerned at first with the fit. Swix ferrules also have more added weight to simulate swing weight of baskets on snow poles.
I've worn one ferrule through it's life, it held up very well. I was sharpening with a diamond disc on a Dremel, never an issue and very quick and sharp. I had one event when the ferrule got stuck in a crack to the point where it jerked my arm and shoulder back before it came free as continued forward- the ferrule was still fine! I took that as a sign of high durability.
These are decent ferrules for the price. I ordered the 10mm size but should have ordered the smaller 8 mm ones as the poles I use are narrower at the bottom. I used gorilla glue to secure and I painted a bright orange strip on the top in the event I lose one in the pavement cracks (has happened before and doing this maneuver allows me to see if my ferrules are still on the poles). They seem to sharpen well with my wet stone. Will evaluate after more miles are put on these.
I have been ordering these tips for years from roller ski shop. They are well made and last as long as any tip. I shapen them with a bench grinder and they handle the reshapening 10 to 15 times.
Yet again a great product to go with a fantastic company!!! I bought these the same time as I bought my T6005 and they work great. They are easy to apply, with a hair dryer or better yet a heat to loosen you old ones and they really work well on the road. I recommend you buy a pair and save your snow baskets for winter. What amazed me was this company was willing to toss them in the same box as my rollerskis and save me money in shipping. Imagine that a company that actually tries to help save you money
Good price, good quality
These are the best, most durable road ferrules we have used for our team - and we have used a lot! I just got a few pairs to try them out, but will definitely be ordering more!
I do not have a lot of experience with roller skiing but I like these ferrules. I only had to use winter ferrules for a little while and I noticed the difference immediately. The spike is beefier than my winter ones and they stay sharper longer. The only thing I can say is there is no basket. Now I know what you are going to say: Dude, there’s no snow, you don’t need a basket ! But here’s what can happen: my trail has several wooden bridge, and sometimes the ferrules get stuck between planks...with the ensuing results that one of my ferrules broke ! The basket prevents it from digging itself too far. No wood, not an issue !!
Actually I needed 8mm ferrules. This pair is 8.5mm. Never used, but seems very solid. decided to keep for later use.
Great product! 100 km on mine so far and no issues yet. Super hard, they stay sharp, and are very durable - I couldn't be happier.
Having bought many of these, and others, I can attest that these are longer lasting and of better quality. Have yet to break any.
They do the job and good delivery
Durable ferrules, worked great!
