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 enjoyed using these so far (had several days now). I like the variety of patterns to decorate with. The flexibility of the crutch tips are very useful; I didn't realize I needed that feature until upgrading from my standard crutches! The ease of changing crutch length far surpasses that of standard crutches, and my wrists are VERY happy with reduced pressure.
I do fall almost perfectly between measurements for forearm length and circumference which is unfortunate because both options are a little uncomfortable. I also don't love how much incredibly visible branding there is compared to most mobility products.
Overall I’m happy with these poles. I love the fact they are adjustable and affordable. The only concern I have are the locking mechanisms on the poles - mine don’t snap down so occasionally one pole or the other begins to collapse.
The net pocket is so perfect for holding phones and the internal pocket has plenty of space for wallets and other stuff without being too big. This was exactly what i needed.
