Get a pair of pliers or vice grips and take them off. If they are not available take a knife and cut them off. When you replace them use a very light coat of Vaseline and this will not happen again.

Try holding the tip under hot water for a minute or so, that might expand the rubber and allow it to slide off. Or, try sliding a small screw driver inside to loosen the bond between the rubber and the crutch. Last resort, run a sharp utility knife down the length of the tip to split it. Good luck.

Take them to a rehabilitation or home health care support shop and they should be able to help you out.
