TrailBuddy Walking Poles - Pack of 2 Lightweight, Adjustable Trekking Poles for Hiking, Camping & Backpacking - Walking Sticks w/Cork Grip and Padded Strap

The poles are good quality feel robust. I think they will last a long time. I use these rather than a walking stick. They allow me to stand up straight and not lean over as in using stick. So keep my back straighter. I can also walk faster which helps with my overall fitness. As an older user, I would say give them a try. They are fully adjustable and the hand straps make them very secure. I don't feel as if I would trip up or fall. Safety in walking with these is good. I saw my orthopaedic consultant and mentioned that I was using the poles to help with my spine and knee problems, he said that they we a really good idea and a number of his patients had benefitted from the use of poles. (No particular make of course) From my perspective I can walk further and faster and breath easier, which surely must be of health benefit. I am no expert! I would say to anyone with similar health issues to give them a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Just arrived and practiced around the house to get used to them. Easy to assemble and the graduation marks on the shafts make sure you get the right height for you. The handles are comfortable to hold and the wrist straps can be adjusted to suit. I’m waiting for a hip replacement and these poles will help me to walk upright and give me support, they are sturdy. Comes with a storage bag and supplied with different ends for muddy conditions and snow. Really pleased with them, I feel sure they will help and enable me to get out and walk with more confidence, plus much more ‘fashionable’ than the usual walking sticks!

I took my new poles to Switzerland. It took a couple of tries to make sure the screws were tight enough to prevent the poles from slipping down. Comfortable cork handles and good wrist bands. All in all I am happy with my poles and the cost is good. I would have liked them to be more compact.

I bought these as I was having real trouble with my balance and walking was difficult, after a serious illness. I was fairly stable on smooth ground but had no confidence on rough ground. These poles have given me back my confidence and made walking anywhere easy again. They are very well made and easily support my body weight in a lean test. ( I am not light ). They are easily adjusted and fold down small and light enough to carry with ease. I have just spent a week in Wales and happily walked, beaches loose stone ragged rock, mud and slippery wooded slopes. I have nothing but praise, and gratitude for these poles. I highly recommended them

My first poles so nothing to compare them to. I decided to start at the lower end of the price range to see if I would like using walking poles. I took them straight out on a holiday in the lakes using them on boggy ground, on rocky ascents and descents including some scree. Had no issues at all. I adjusted the knurled nuts on the locking mechanisms a bit at a time until I got a firm clamp. I didn't have to readjust at all on two 5 hour mountain walks. No slippage at all. I only used the mud baskets and left them on where I shouldn't, on rocks and scree but they survived with no damage so seem very strong. In general I found poles really useful when crossing wide streams to aid with balance on stepping stones as well as on descents to help with large steps down. Even just using them for walking seems to help avoid back ache so overall extremely impressed.

These trail buddy walking poles are excellent, the photo's don't do these poles justice as they truly look and feel high quality. They are very simple to customize to your own walking posture or you can set them to the length via the sizing chart which is enclosed. You receive all the accessories you need with these sticks for any walk you have planned. These poles are light weight and easily collapsible (shorten) to put in your back back until they are needed. The price of these were perfect with a high price feel and quality finish to them. I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend this product and seller.

I previously used my poles for dog walking over unstable ground and when walking for longer periods. I got a second set at the beginning of the year after a knee injury, where I needed to use a single pole for support on a daily basis. I found and still find them so much easier to use than traditional walking sticks. I do know that if I were doing Nordic walking or I was hiking for long distances, I would choose differently, but these are pretty unbeatable when it comes to the price, ease of use, and overall toughness. I can say with total confidence that these are a great first pair of poles and are ideal for general use.

I am recovering from a spinal injury and a doctor suggested getting walking poles to aid my recovery. I didn't want to buy really expensive ones, in case I didn't get on with them, and I'm hoping not to use them for too long anyway. The poles are nice and sturdy, very easy to adjust and fold down, and come with a very handy carry bag, so if you aren't using them e.g. while sitting on a train, they don't take up too much room. The only downside I have found is that, when walking on pavements (which I do mostly) they are very noisy... tap tap tap tap tap tap. I feel like people can hear me coming from miles around. There are rubber tips on the end of the poles but they don't seem to make much difference. That said, they have helped me a lot with my walking, taking some of the weight off my back and helping me get moving.

Just received. First impression - Impressed. Well made, once adjusted as per instructions doesn't slip. Excellent attention to details in design and instructions. Good set of accessories (though I've ordered six pack of rubber tips along with poles as I expect to use these most). Will update once I start using them, over this weekend, hopefully.

低価格だがよくできており、ほとんどの場合、これで十分と思う。

La descrizione del peso è palesemente errata: "ogni bastoncino pesa solo 113 grammi, per un peso totale di circa 226 grammi per la coppia" Ogni bastoncino pesa sui 300g la coppia almeno 600g

とてもよかった

Très agréable à utiliser, pourrait être plus court pour mettre dans la valise!
