TheFitLife Nordic Walking Trekking Poles - 2 Sticks with Anti-Shock and Quick Lock System, Telescopic, Collapsible, Ultralight for Hiking, Camping, Mountaining, Backpacking, Walking, Trekking

I recently had hip replacement surgery. I’ve been suffering from severe osteoarthritis in my hip since 2012, with so many complications. Unable to walk without out a walker. After surgery I began therapy and my needs for a walker decreased to use of a cane, but my gate was still, impaired, Ankles were tight. I had heard about walking sticks and seen them used by hikers, so I asked my therapist about them. He said he found them to be better for walking than a cane so I bought these. I used them yesterday after therapy. My house is the same distance from therapy as I am able to walk (30 minutes). My gate increased in length, my ankles didn’t hurt, and I felt secure, steady, safe from falling. There was no awkwardness in using them. They contract for easy transport, and they’re sturdy too. Great design. Numbers (like a ruler) aid in getting them adjusted to the right length for the user, and comfortable hand grips with a strap. Feet attachments can be traded out for different terrain, ( street, gravel, rock/slippery/sandy beaches, snow even! Makes me want to try hiking again in these settings!

Great for my immobility issues due to severe back, hip, and joint issues after I sustained an injury and now I have a disability. I can actually walk longer distances with these. They help me resume my exercise walks outside independently for 25-30 minutes. With these, I walk like I’m not injured/disabled. Without them, my back can’t handle 5 minutes unassisted. They are a game changer!! So blessed to have found them. They take pressure off my back, hip and joint problems. They are inexpensive. Note: Watch a physical therapist video to ensure you use them correctly as I needed the tips. Now, I can move with ease and exercise freely after watching the video of correct usage.

I use these with my snow shoes. I would have given them a 5 star, except I nearly lost a basket as the baskets screw on and don't have a retaining clip to lock them in. however, after really snugging it hard, my baskets did stay in place. The variety of tips make them useful for snow or non-snow trekking. Light weight, straps are about the right length. A little longer for me would be nice as I have big hands and thick wrists. I was near the very end of the length.

Have walked about 4 miles so far and these worked great, I only use 1 and the wife uses the other. What We likeThe adjustable hand straps.The assorted Tips provided.Handles are comfortable.Telescopic adjustment is great & stays tight.Tip has built in shock absorber.Light weight but seem strong.Easy to store.Seem to be very good value for the price.Our use is light to medium duty, we plan on doing some hiking in a national park soon, I'll try to update afterwards if needed.

I have medical problems and have challenges walking any distance without some sort of aid. Now the ocean is my happy place and when my medical problems get overwhelming the beach is where I want to be. I only live 10 minutes away from the Oregon coast. I could not go. I couldn't walk out there. These have changed everything. I can go where I want. I still have limitations but these help so much. They are portable and easy to put together. Adjustable for height. Lightweight but sturdy and comfortable

These are great hiking poles. I traveled to New Zealand and they were so easy to pack. They even fit into my small day pack on our hiking days. Definitely happy that I purchased this set.

I got these for my husband and myself. We've never used anything like these but these have added a bit of extra stability on our walks.

Way better quality than I had originally expected for the price. I haven't used them ywt but I don't have any concerns. Heavier than my others but that is expected
