These trekking poles are sturdy and have fun designs. The handles are very comfortable and provide great support for balance on uneven surfaces or on even surfaces if you have balance problems. The only downside is that if you are using them in a therapy clinic to trial for patients, adjusting the height is not simple and it takes time to get both sides even. For that purpose, button settings would be easier. But if you are purchasing for a single person use, then once they are adjusted for the height, they stay put.
All other tips I’ve tried barely last 2 or 3 months which is pathetic why even sell them if they are that useless? That’s why I only use these tips, I actually get a decent amount of time out of them
I bought these motivator poles to every-day use at home to keep my gait correct and reduce stress on my joints. I already have a pair of the folding ones for travel. My wrists thank me for using poles with the grips these have that let my wrist rest and my thumb stay in a position that reduces stress on my hand and wrist. My physical therapist is quite impressed with my poles. And I get compliments on the appearance of my poles!
These are really nice to have! I really like how the top base part moves to change the position of your forearm/elbow. That's why I got these vs traditional forearm crutches was because my cane always ends up hurting my shoulder or my elbow and I was hoping these would be nicer!
However, they're pretty bulky and don't collapse/fold so there's no easy way to transport them or store them. I also feel like a giant billboard and the design is kinda ruined because of it... The brand name is displayed in LARGE letters in 3 places.. both sides of the arm mechanism at top and down the bar of the crutch... I understand having to advertise the brand name but even one side of the arm mechanism would be okay? Or just down the bar? I feel like it just kinda ruins the design.
I do overall enjoy these crutches and believe them to be helpful and incredibly beneficial when you've got multiple joint pain issues and not just lower body issues.
I had a comibnation ear infection (which threw me off balance compltely) and an emotional shock which stopped me in my tracks (literally).
These poles have set me back on course. Only three days in but I'm moving again. Love them!
