York NordicUltralight Folding Walking Poles - Travel Ready - with Rubber Feet, Baskets, and Bag

Estoy muy contenta usando estos bastones para realizar la caminata nórdica. Son firmes. Su diseño es bonito y muy práctico para ajustarlos al tamaño deseado. Los recomiendo.

Saw an article in AARP magazine about the benefits of Nordic Walking and thought I'd give them a try. I ordered the offered shorter poles for people 5'4' and under, but I was unable to figure out how to adjust them appropriately for my 4'11" height. I was disappointed because I had really wanted to give Nordic Walking a try. As an older woman who needs to lose 20 pounds, I wanted something that would burn calories but not be so vigorous that I would have to give up quickly from pain or exhaustion. I have never written to a company before, but because I was convinced this exercise would be something I could comfortably do and still lose weight, I took a gamble and wrote to Lauren, the owner of the company. I sent her a picture of the poles in what I thought was the lowest position, asking if I had adjusted them correctly. She put me in touch with Matthew, the Director of Customer Service. Apparently the update of the Nordic Walking poles had a longer lower portion, preventing them from lowering enough for someone my height. He stated he would send me the lower section of the poles that were from the previous edition of Nordic Walking poles, and would include a prepaid mailer to send the too-long pole sections back. The lower sections came quickly and were easily installed.I love these things! It took me a few days to be able to coordinate the walking and poles in the Nordic style of walking, but now that I've got it down, I'm really enjoying the experience. I can feel the work out in my arms as I push off with the poles, and my heart rate has definitely increased with the addition of the poles to my normal 5-mile walk. I'm anxiously waiting for concrete evidence of my efforts, but I have been using them for less than a week. In the meantime, I'll just enjoying walking with them and getting more fit.Just as an aside, both Lauren and Matthew were highly encouraging as far as my starting on this walking adventure/exercise regime. It was a very nice and personal touch to their service.If you're thinking about buying these poles, I'd say go for it. They're easy to adjust and use, they're sturdy, fold easily for convenience, and are very reasonably priced. The company is great to work with if you need to get in touch with them. I'm very glad I bought these particular poles!

Excellent delivery time....came way before "date of arrival" Very happy with these poles. Sturdy yet light. Will fit into back pack or large hand bag.I needed shorter length.....so these are perfect. Comes with good directions , web site info and info on how to walk properly with them.

Tried 6 different sets of poles. Excellent collapse folding mechanisms, hand grip and wrist slings brilliant and extremely functional and comfortable. Using for walking around neighborhood and traveling abroad. I need for balance and they have been extremely helpful in preventing balance loss .

El producto es de muy buena calidad. Desafortunadamente en el paquete sólo llegó una punta de hule en lugar de dos para cada uno de los bastones!!
