Weather lore or not, January typically seems to deliver a brief thaw that is a prime opportunity to get outside for your walking! Much of the U.S. has just had some crazy weather, including a boatload of snow in the Northeast. With luck, we will get a short stretch of unseasonably warm days to break out the walking poles and shake off the rough stretch of cold, rain and snow.
Nordic walking, pole walking or just plain walking for fun and exercise…Let’s Get Out There!

York Nordic provided the best, thoughtful customer service I have ever encountered. I had purchased the wrong grip poles, so I emailed York Nordic, asking for advice. Lauren immediately sent me new poles while I returned and was credited for the originals.
I have used Smart Crutches for about 10 years now. They are great for limited weight bearing or if you’re like me and can’t bear weight on wrists and hands so the weight is instead shifted to the forearm which helps tremendously for chronic/long-term use! Would love to have more frame color options but it’s nice getting to decorate the cuffs!
These walking poles are exceptional. After spine surgery, and then some complications, these walking poles are a godsend. Using them encourages me to be mindful of my posture and more confident with balance while building endurance. I particularly like the contoured hand rests that enhance my comfort while gaining my stride.
I think these are incredibly comfortable! My forearm sizing fell at 9.1, and I wish I’d sized down (7.5 to 9) rather than selecting the 9.1-10 option, since it fits slightly too big and rides closer to my elbows than I would have liked! Overall pretty happy, though!
