I'm a bit confused by what the phrase "doesn't last long" means.
That can mean a lot of things. How long do we each consider long?
I would personally expect a walker or a cane end to last for at
least a couple of years, but I'm not as old as Swingman, so what the
hell do I really know?

The cane will last forever; but the rubber tips last, oh, about a
month each.

When I made my cane, I used a brass ferrule and stuck in a rubber cork.
They last for 3-5 years but I don't go hiking

If you relace the steel tip with one that is, say, 1/2 to 3/4 longer you can
partially insert a rubber cork. It will last much longer, more rubber to
wear. You will probably have to whittle it slightly to skinny part of the
taper down.
