Somehow, I missed that I did not need to order extras of these, two of them came on my poles. So I shouldn’t have spent the extra 20 bucks but whatever, now I have backups.
My word these are amazing. Ive tried other poles and never felt as supported or “right sized” as I do with these. The hand support, the grips, and the thumb options all make this a superior pole. Plus the purple is a great color.
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,
