Review on πŸ”οΈ Durable Rubber Replacement Tips for Trekking Poles - Fit All Standard Hiking & Nordic Walking Poles by Dave Russell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Awesome trekking pole feet

I am disabled and walk about 5,000 steps a day, most of it around the block or in the nearest park. Surfaces are sometimes uphill, downhill, or sloped to the left or right. When I switched from traditional trekking pole tips to these, my confidence in poles increased significantly. If there was a wet sheet or the like on the sidewalk or path, the poles would not slip. The tips also tilt so the three "chicken legs" of the tips always land on any surface for maximum balance without slipping. I feel the touch of the bar before he really gains weight. No heavy weight is required until the spring is fully compressed. This helps me know the bar is in place so I don't lose my balance and can focus more on keeping the weight on my feet. Without heavy springs, traditional tips allowed weight to be transferred to the sticks too quickly. When the legs carry more weight, I get more leg work and a lot less fatigue in my arms and shoulders.

Pros
  • Medium sized round rubber feet for maximum grip and stability
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
