Just trying to humbly change the idea that "Americans won't do that kind of work" mentality......in my garage/shop/driveway! I have so many more ideas too but execution is time. Body mounting rubber is the thing I am working on now.
I remember a compatible rubber feet discussion/post.......the leg bumpers look like the spare tire to carrier bumpers.....or hood bumper.

those bumpers have the wedge shape to jam against the floor and bench at a 45 degree angle. i wish you luck finding a source, but doubt that there is enough rubber in a crutch tip to shape it before hitting the hollow part that slips over the leg. could something be added onto the tip to make it work? i would look into that if i needed a pair.

For those of you like Bosque who are crafty, go to lowes and get this (item # 881324) from the specialty rubber drawer in the Hardware dept. It can be shaped/drilled out to slip over the leg tip. You could put a 90 angle by using a grinder or cutting it. Go to Lowes.com to see it

I was off yesterday and decided to try the rubber pieces I bought at Lowe's. Talk about easy! It took about 2 min total.

Using the Hillman rubber plug

drill out 3/8" center hole about 1/2" deep.
using a dremel with a cutting tip, make a inner notch about 1/8" deep, 1/2" from edge.
put a couple 90 degree angle cuts at opposite end using razor blade.

Done. (Could use contact cement or adhesive as well.)

note...I didnt measure anything and it worked perfect. Having the old rubber foot nearby is a good reference.
