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’ve been using these poles for a few weeks now while rehabbing from surgery and I am blown away by the quality. The shaped handles are fantastic (though quite large on this model — intended for larger hands). The design, materials and finish are all top-notch. You’ll know the moment you pick one up in your hand that this is a heavier, higher-quality, more durable walking stick than you’ve ever used.
These lasted me 4 years of heavy everyday wear in all sorts of weather before something in the mechanism anchoring the spring gave out. I'm incredibly impressed! I'm very hard on my crutches and these flextips have more than stood up to the test. They are by far my favourite smartcrutch accessory!
It's about time someone made a pole for some of us bigger guys. I am big and tall and haven't been able to find walking poles that will handle my height and weight. These are perfect for me!
