... help me climb hills in a more pleasurable way and there is less need for me to stop to rest as my legs as I did when I walked without poles. During descents I find it is easier to maintain my balance because of using these poles and I am less likely to toppling over a nasty section and they give me greater confidence to walk a bit faster down hill.
One of the most important features when walking with poles is the length of the poles. This is determined by the height from the ground to your elbow and this varies as you...morePrice Comparison for Leki Makalu Anti-Shock

I bought this pair of walking poles about 7 years ago following having an ACL reconstruction on my right knee. I wanted to get back into walking but knew that my knee would need some more support than it had previously when going up and down hills.

They are not cheap (about £60) but I find them really helpful when walking especially with heavy bags. They adjust to your size (your elbows should be at 90 degrees to your body and the poles should reach the floor). When walking up hill and on flat ground the pole should be positioned behind you so that you push ... Read the complete review
