Glad I used them

As a novice hiker, I felt somewhat dorky using trekking poles at first, but the difference is like night and day. With these, I was able to hike for hours, and felt absolutely no fatigue aches in my knees nor back whatsoever.
I was completely happy with my choice of Spires. Absolutely no slippage with the elliptical design and locking mechanism; the wrist straps were very comfortable; and the angle of the handles allow them to swing out naturally, further cutting down on fatigue.
