Dress for Success for Some Great Pole Walking in the Fall
We are in the heart of Fall with some time to get in some good pole walking before the snow flies! While it can be beautiful in the Fall, it is important to wear clothing that allows you to move freely yet maintain a comfortable body temperature. Warmth is great, right until you begin to overheat so plan accordingly and use layers and clothing that helps wick away moisture. As with pole walking and hiking in any season, it is important to wear comfortable and warm shoes with good traction as the Fall provides plenty of wet leaves and slippery surfaces to navigate. Let’s Get Out There and enjoy a good Fall walk today!

i have CRPS in my leg and need a mobile aid to get around, but i have terrible arthritis in my hands and wrists. using a cane has become impossible because of how much it hurts my hand/wrist, and i can't use a manual wheelchair for the same reason. my smartcrutch has been an absolute lifesaver. being able to adjust the forearm portion to be horizontal takes nearly all the pressure off my hand and wrist. it's not nearly as heavy as i expected it to be either. i am incredibly impressed. i can't imagine ever going back to a cane.
