Z-Flick Poles, spreading out the force

Spare sock folded, though the inside is reinforced and have never had an issue with piercing.

Pole mushrooms.

If you are in the UK they are available here

Those poles mushrooms are cool.

You can put the wider base at the top but if you want it even wider than that, or you want more grip, then a nice solution is a trekking pole ‘boot’. Those are widely available will fit onto the narrower end of the pole. You might already have some laying around if they came with your hiking poles.

From Dans recommendation for the Pro1. Got at my local hardware store in the automotive section.

I ended up getting something like the pole mushrooms mentioned above, at https://speedsterstoves.co.uk

Combined with some other neat gear (like 30mL squeeze pouches, https://speedsterstoves.co.uk/other-products/30ml-squeeze-pouch/bottle.html), the shipping cost was worth it.

Those mushrooms look like rebar caps. I use the TarpTent pole adapters.
