Absolutely changing if you like hill walking. Just back from an 11 mile hike and absolutely no knee pain at all thanks to these. It really makes sense when you use them and feel about 30 % less weight being places on leg joints. I love them so much. Highest recommendations!!

I ordered to replace my old ones after just 1 year of putting them through constant and rigorous use. The things I like best are the OutWalkies poles are the ergonomically angled hand grips, how rigid the poles are and the consistently stable locking mechanism. They're light, durable, dependable and functional. Adjusting the hand straps are a breeze. I like that feature because I hike year round and takes seconds to change the straps from no gloves to gloves quickly and vice versa. My first hike with these poles was 8 miles with no arm fatigue and less knee pain. With my older set of trekking poles my hand and arms who become fatigued around 5 miles. They do not flex like my older poles that gives me confidence on difficult terrain. Also with the poles being more rigid it help to relieve the lower leg and knee pressure while hiking. I would highly recommend these to anyone who hikes on a regular basis.

These poles work well once you've adjusted the size to what you need. The instructions that come with them are rather skimpy, so it took me a couple of tries to get it right. After that, the poles performed well and are enjoyable to use on varied terrains.

If you are debating between purchasing high-end and budget collapsible trekking poles, as well as between aluminum and composite poles, look no further. These poles are great.

I often hike trails which have stretches of steep inclines and declines. The poles do a great job saving pain on the knees and help with balance on all unsteady surfaces. The poles are relatively light and their locking and unlocking mechanism is outstanding. Length adjustments are quick, easy and trusted to hold.

These work well and the price is great!

They are very well made, and are quite light, but the anti shock mechanism seems very stiff to cushion the impact with the ground. Maybe someone will know if the Spring is adjustable to soften anti shock system. They seem very good value for money, I’m impressed with them after about 4 miles of walking done. Will update as I get more use out of them. Lots more walking done with the OutWalkies poles, the Anti Shock is certainly helping with my weak right wrist, great value for money.
