An auxiliary mobility guide adapted to be mounted on the tip end of a cane for a sightloss person is disclosed. The mobility guide includes a frame with at least one C bracket, each C bracket having two horizontal legs connected by a vertical leg. An arm projects upwardly from the top of the vertical leg, thereby forming an inclined plane approximately equal to that plane at which sightloss users place a guide cane with respect to the ground. A bracket mounted on the arm's upper side is adapted to adjustably overfit the tip end of a cane. One freely swiveling and rollable wheel assembly is adapted to be received and retained by each C bracket. The assembly's wheel fits freely below the frame's lower horizontal leg. When the mobility guide is mounted on the tip end of a cane, the swiveling and rolling of the wheel upon the ground surface as the user walks using the guide will send tactile responses through the guide to the cane and to the hand of the cane's user at the same cane-to-ground angle as when the cane is used alone.
