"You were my only hope for relief. I can't use regular forearm crutches due to severe carpal tunnel in both hands. I'm not bad enough for a walker or wheelchair. I can't walk far or stand long due to severe Sacroiliitis.
The smartCRUTCH looked so comfortable - I was hoping they would work, and I love them! They're awesome! I'm going to order another pair next month. I can't say enough how great these are.
Thank you so much!"

The only issue that I have is that it is too easy to lose the flip lock. I tried my best to keep them tightened, but I lost them both. Now, I have to pay to get new ones. I am probably going to put something around the pole to be sure that I don't lose them again. I have used these poles for months now, including two months traveling with two of the weeks doing a lot of walking tours. I was having wrist pain using regular hiking poles. The thumb grip and palm cradle on these poles really helped. Also, the poles collapse down to a size that fits my newer checked luggage (smaller than my old luggage). I have the older version that does not have push buttons to connect the pieces. They have connector inserts that have worked well for me because it made it so easy to take apart and put together quickly which was important when traveling by train. I hope they last a long time.
Found the Nordic Walking Poles a great asset in my daily walking routine. Excellent on all surfaces including beach walks.
I waited a while to writed my review until I had used your tips on my Nordic walking poles. I have been walking about 2 miles a day over sidewalks and street asphalt.
These tips are the best ones I have used. Unlike the others I have used, these tips wear evenly over the bottom of the tip, taking full advantage of the length and breadth. With the other tips, the end of the pole would wear straight through the tip completely, not utilizing most of the rubber that made up the tip. I think the V-Tread contributes to the even wear and stability I feel with the poles. Thank you,
I have the Heavy Duty Walking Poles from York Nordic and could not be more pleased with them. I am 80 years old, 6’2””and 240 lbs and I deal with balance issues and a heart condition. The York Walking Poles make me feel very secure when exercise walking and have improved my balance and speed. I highly recommend these Walking Poles.
Very comfortable and adjustable.
The ability to change not only the height but the angle of how my arm rests is a gamechanger.
As someone with a connective tissue disorder these crutches have given me the ability to be a bit more normal and allow me to move quickly, which I haven’t been able to do in a long time.
And if you suffer from shoulder pain like I do, it does reduce that pain since the entire body isn’t taking the impact of each step.
