Walking Poles

Walking poles are a great piece of kit for taking weight off your knees on longer hikes and maintaining your stability, especially on tougher terrains. They’re designed to provide stability and support, distributing body weight and reducing strain on the legs, knees, and ankles, which is particularly beneficial when descending steep slopes to prevent excess stress on joints and muscles. Our lightweight, sturdy and easy-to-grip trekking poles provide extra support for hikers of all ages and abilities, whether you’re a first-time trekker or a well-seasoned walker.

How to use walking poles

Many of our walking poles are height-adjustable with easy-to-use mechanisms for quick and secure height adjustment, so you can adjust your pole to your height, shortening them for uphill climbs and lengthening them for downhill descents. Move the poles in opposition to your feet with a comfortable grip on the handles. This way, the walking poles effectively share the workload with the arms and legs, reducing fatigue during long hikes.
