To use these poles, adjust the length to ensure your elbow forms a 90-degree angle when the tip is placed on the ground. Hold the handles firmly and use the straps to maintain a secure grip. As you walk, plant the pole at an angle behind your body and push off to propel yourself forward, coordinating the movement with your opposite leg.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the recommended pole length based on your height
• Verify the terrain type where you intend to walk most frequently
• Ensure the grip material is comfortable for your hand size

For optimal results, inspect the tips and straps before each walk to ensure they are secure. Replace the rubber tips if they show significant wear to maintain proper traction on hard surfaces.
