Dan, Sure the rubber bit it can be replaced however depending upon the monopod model you may be able to fit a metal spike (outside clamp fit) or a combination rubber foot/steel spike (inside expanding plastic collet fit, not 100% sturdy). If you are heading towards snow or mud you might consider making a wide foot like an associate of mine did. He found a rubber chair/table foot that fit the bottom section and screwed the big rubber pad from a sanding disc for a drill on the bottom. It remained flexible enough for a good range of tilt but wouldn't sink in the goop.
