Let's take a moment to focus on a specific benefit for arthritis sufferers that use walking poles - Improved walking mechanics
As sufferers know, arthritis can sometimes lead to poor posture and balance issues. Walking poles can help individuals maintain proper alignment and balance, reducing the risk of further joint damage. Further, walking poles can promote a more natural and symmetrical gait, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals with arthritis. They encourage a more upright posture and help to distribute the effort more evenly between the upper and lower body.
Customer feedback consistently tells us that sufferers that have tried walking poles are more likely to turn walking into a beneficial and healthy routine that would otherwise be a significant challenge. Cheers to that...Let's Get Out There!

The walking sticks are really good, especially the smaller ones or regular size. They’re very comfortable and much more stable than others. I’ve used very well well-made great to use.
Using these for daily walks is exactly why I chose them. The thumb spaces help my post surgery carpal tunnel wrists stay pain free. The extra tips are handy for changing terrain from concrete to grassy to asphalt to packed clay. So happy with my choice
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.
