Maybe their ad is incorrect. This is what I read in the link you provided (caps are actually in the ad):
"Typical Physical Properties:
Solid Rubber - This product is NOT sponge or foam
Durometer / Hardness Shore A 60+/-5
Tensile Strength 525 PSI
Elongation 200%
Operating Temperature -40 Deg. F. to +200 Deg. F.
Finish Smooth Both Sides"
Also, why not get a tripod? Most of the quality ones have a choice of angles for the legs, so at the narrower angles, the feet would likely not be visible in the picture. The "feet" for monopods are likely intended for indoor use only, with no risk of wind. Light stands (other than heavy duty models) are also mostly intended for indoor studio use. If you must use a monopod, some small (5 lbs.?) sandbags on the "feet' might provide the stability you need. Many outdoor photographers use them to hold down their light stands.
