Does it keep the crutch from sliding if it comes in contact with standing water such as on a tile floor?

The trIck is to keep your weight over the crutch-tips. So on wet tiles take small steps so your weight is directly over the tip as much as possible. I use crutches on wet swimming pool tiles and the Rain Guards have never slipped out from under me. Whereas I slipped and fell a number of times on the traditional crutch-tips. You will walk on wet tiles with much more confidence. So the short answer is, yes. And not just in the wet. You'll have more confidence in any conditions. I can't recommend them highly enough I'll never be without them again if I can help it. Good luck.

We have had no slipping on the tile floors we come in contact with. They are absolutely marvelous. The only time we have had a slip is if it encountered a bit of dog hair on the floor (from our new long haired dog.)

Seems to have good traction on any surface. Except ice of course. Well worth the price.

Yes, it remains stable, and does not slide. I tested it on a kitchen tile floor.

Yes, I survived a rainy fall and an icy winter without any trouble thanks to these things. Much better than the stock ones.

It has a thick plastic backing on it, but I can't guarantee it wouldn't break if it fell and hit hard tile.

there is a black, plastic (?) ring around the bottom that seems to prevent unintentional sliding. i'm not sure about it being protective, but i've had them for six months and they haven't scratched the wood floors

I wouldn't suggest it be used on tiles but because it's leather it shouldn't slip. Ours has been used frequently since April and has not changed in thickness.

No, but it holds it in place so it doesnt slide around. I would recommend using it!

It has rubber stops on the bottom of all four legs. It is very sturdy. It should not slide.

I gave one to my Grandson. It does slide on the floor, stays where it should. He can then easily pick it up and move to sink. Works great for them.

It does not, however if you take off the hard plastic piece, all that's left is the rubber piece and I've found on multiple occasions I'll just set it up against something and the rubber will help keep it stay in place and not slide around.

There is something to keep it from sliding but it is easily knocked off. However you are pouring boiling watr over the thing; better be careful and not moving it around.

Yes, you would have to put a non- slip material under it to keep it from moving

The bottom is layered by rubber material. It stays and won't slip on tile floors.

No, although slipping isn't that much of a problem. It's on a tile floor, so I put felt strips on the feet to cushion it.

Be careful, it is only on one leg.I didn't have any problems with slipping. However, A clamp on handle on the shower wall is helpful. Doctor suggested a towel wrapped around leg underneath for extra dry security. Kept my brace very dry.

Yes it does. I usually dampen the surface underneath for extra staying power, but it does not slip.

Yes, it has two rubber strips that prevent the foot rocker from slipping. This will not easily slip on a hard surface...

It does. I have been using my cane for a couple of months now and have had not problem at all with any slippage. And it's really pretty.

My two mats hold well, but then they are against the toe-kick under the counter on one side which helps keep them in place. I have never had any problem with them sliding either way, and I have porcelain tile floors.
