Steady on My Feet Now

By Backcountry.com Alumni February 6, 2008

I love to hike but unfortunately I tend to be a bit wobbly on my feet. I also have screws in both my feet. After running into a much older gentleman on the trail who claimed that trekking poles saved him from early hiking retirement, I decided to give them a shot. They definitely gave me leverage on the down hill, taking away a lot of pounding on my knees and feet (although my arms and shoulders ached a bit after using them). I also felt steadier on my feet especially on uneven terrain. I don't have the experience with trekking pole that the others who posted review do. So I greatly appreciated their guidance on this product.
