My walker came with pegs on the back and I hated it these wheels made it easy for me to walk across uneven surfacesThe description said a package of one and the picture showed one so I ordered two packages for my back wheels. It turns out that there are two wheels per package. They were very easy to install and it is doing just what I wanted to do, making the walker smooth, moving quickly. There are no brakes so do not get these if you need to walk slowly. They fit as if they were perfectly designed for this walker.They are not returnable so make sure you get the correct number of wheels.I needed to use a walker and my walker did not have wheels on it. I used it for a few days and it took a lot of lifting with the arms. A friend let me use hers that had wheels. What a difference. So I bought these instead of getting a whole new walker. Easy to install Took the place of the tennis balls on the front!These are a 99% match... same dimensions overall; just look slightly different.It took all of two minutes to remove the old wheels and replace them with these.The walker is like new again!Bought this to convert my mother's walker w/o wheels to one with wheels. Once the leg extensions of the walker were removed, trying to get the posts of the wheel extensions into the walkwer was quite tight. I almost thought it would not work as the tube diameters were almost the same (so one post could not fit within the other post), but was able to get them in and slide them up and down to the right height.The wheels are just the right hardness for use on hardwood floors... not so hard that they make a lot of noise as they roll over each wood joint on the floor, and not so soft as to put rubber marks on the floors.I mounted the wheels facing out to allow more leg room within the inside of the walker, plus that wheel orientation is much more stable for the walker. Some other wheels on Amazon people noted that they could not mount the wheels facing out, only the more conventional way of facing the wheels in. Again.. huge diff in stability of the walker with the wheels facing out... important for elders. This is a reason I did not buy the other wheels on Amazon, but got these ones for a few $$$ more.The wheels also run nice and quiet.. no sqeaking at all.. and no 'slop' in the axles so so that the wheels wobble.The wheels also roll straight and true. Some reviewers of other wheels indicated issues here.. again another reason I did not buy other wheels on Amazon.In short.. after reading the reviews of the various wheels I could have bought on Amazon... I am very satisfied with this purchase and well worth the few extra $$$ vs. buy the 'cheapest cost' ones. You will be happy too.Hope my time writing this benefits others in the same 'elder needs' situation as I am.JimAfter going through what seems like a gazillion sets of glides, balls, you name it, I finally said "f it," I need something that works. Walking 30 minutes each day, 7 days per week can put a strain on glides (most of which only lasting 3 to 7 days).So I went with these "tiny wheels" for the rear end of my standard aluminum walker and they are going strong weeks later. Plus, I have much better mobility, don't get caught up in rugs as often; lots of benefits.WARNING: Four wheels on a standard walker are not safe for ALL patients. I happen to be a 58 y.o. male using the walker primarily to relieve pressure on my feet and thighs due to my morbid obesity. An 85 y.o. with other issues may not due well with this setup because the walker CAN get away from someone who can't keep up with it.The wheels did not always rollThe light weight walker prescribed by the hospital for my husband after his surgery was deliberately designed with just two front wheels and no back wheels for safety and ease of use. That was why it comes with just two front wheels and without brakes. However, as my husband's recovery progressed, the scraping of the wheel-less back parts slows him down as well as a high risk for him as they kept getting caught on rugs and uneven surfaces. I researched and found new wheels assembly for his walker at Amazon. The installation was completely idiot proof. It took me just five minutes install them. While he still has to be mindful when using his new fangled walker, he has learned to maneuver the walker a lot easier with the back wheels so that he does not catch the rug edges as well as the uneven surfaces when walking around the apartment. Note: this walker with the new four wheels is definitely not suitable for outdoor uses because if there is any slight down hill or incline surface, as there is no brake on this device to stop, it may cause a fall to the user. I would restrict the use strictly for indoor uses only. He has another sturdier walker for outdoor use with brakes which he has learned to use as well.I bought the Drive Medical Universal 5" Walker Wheels, Gray for my Walker in September. When I was in the Hospital recovering from Day Surgery and walking holding onto their IV Pole. My Brother noticed that my back was much straighter. He took my walker and adjusted the height so it was around the same height as the Handle on the IV Pole. He tried to adjust the back wheels. .The original Wheels I had on the back only went up to about 6 notches./inches. As a result my Walker was on an angle and not sturdy enough to make me feel 100% safe using it.After searching online I saw that Drive DID have wheels that did go up 8 notches that you can attach to the back of the walker. Their site told me they were available at different stores including Shoppers Home Health Care. When I phoned the stores closest to Me, I found they didn't have them. As opposed to driving from Store to Store, or calling each store to be told "No" or to drive out there to pick them up, I wondered if I could order them online.I copied the name and serial number of the Wheels and found them here on Amazon.ca and placed an order. They arrived on time, and were easy to attach to my Walker. I may very well order a couple more in the Summer to have on hand.Thank YOU Amazon for selling the Drive Wheels. Please continue to sell these Drive Walker Wheels as I think a lot of people will find they come in very handy.Do I recommend these to anyone who wants to move a little faster and needs a higher setting on both the front and back wheels? Yes I do. For the price, they are great.Although the aluminum tube fits, the height adjustment holes are too small, and it doesn't work. Much to my surprise, the wheels are not returnable under any circumstance...a new low for Amazon.Ce fut parfait d'avoir 4 roues à la marchette, au lieu de 2 roues et 2 patins. Moins difficile à manier. Excellent achat.I was looking for a more rubbery type wheel to reduce the noise of a hard plastic wheel makes...other than that as a wheel spin freely works well.Worked the way I was hoping, turned my 2 wheel walker to a 4 wheel walker, I have a Hugo walker
