Other Thoughts: Guys, I have to tell you how wonderful the LEKI walking sticks have been! They have made such an impact on my walking/hiking! I had read an article in a magazine about how they increased your walking exercise by 50%, and it's true! My traveling this summer finally slowed and I have consistently used the sticks for the last 2 and a half weeks with the exception of one day. That particular day, last monday I failed to take the sticks and didn't notice they were not with me till I was at the place where I hike. Boy, was that day different! I was alot slower and didn't seem to utilize near the energy in the time spent exercising, as before while using the sticks! My pastor and his wife recently returned from Germany and they said that everyone in Germany walking/volksmarching are using these sticks! I have been passing your name along to the many people who have commented about my sticks! Thank you for your commitment to excellence!!!

Other Thoughts: $140 may seem like a good chunk of change for fancy sticks, but I would not trade mine for anything on the trail. The the angled cork grips have virtually eliminated any hand fatigue and the adjustable shocks make almost every decent quick and easy. With my Leki pole I can go further and faster with less leg fatigue.
