Motivator Walking Poles Featured by Consumer Reports
York Nordic is thrilled to share that our Motivator Walking Poles are highlighted by Consumer Reports in the feature, "Get Around Town More Easily".
The feature provides tips and tools to help navigate life's everyday tasks that require getting around! Walking poles are rightly highlighted for their ability to help distribute body weight more evenly and for the support they provide, particularly on uneven surfaces. The Motivator's height-adjustability and ergonomic grip are specifically called out, which could not be more spot on, and it is noted that poles can improve posture by engaging the upper body and encouraging one to stand up straight.
We are pleased to see Motivator Walking Poles benefits recognized and encourage you to read the entire article. Let's Get Out There!

I love my new foldable walking poles. They are so convenient to use when out hiking. Recently brought them with me to the Berkshires; they made trekking through the snow so easy!
Don't get me wrong they're useful. They help the crutches stand up and be less likely to tip. But honestly thats all the praise I can give them. The main issue I have is that the to top magnets piece are not long enough to extend past the crutch cuff. This results in the magnets not being able to fully make contact SIGNIFICANTLY reducing their ability to stick together. The advertisements are more tame here on smart crutchs than geckos own site but you cannot carry one and support the other because without the magnets making that full contact they aren't strong enough to support the weight. Additionally (not smart crutches fault) the wrist straps gecko sells are not long enough to reach your wrists even on the smallest forearm setting, which I use. I use them every day, but I wish they were better.
