Doctors and Physical Therapists recommend our quality one-piece poles, knowing they radically reduce the stress to the weight-bearing joints and improve posture, balance, and stability – a huge improvement over canes and walkers. Plus, one-piece Nordic Walking Poles are safer, stronger, more user-friendly, and far superior to cheap/flimsy collapsible poles from China found on Amazon and in big box stores. These cheap/flimsy collapsible poles rattle, vibrate, don’t hold their settings, and gradually retract or fail altogether, and can cause falls.

This week, a user of Leki walking poles called and yelled at me because his poles collapsed unexpectedly, causing him to fall. He said he had 3 pairs of broken poles and insisted they were garbage. I told him we NEVER sold Leki Poles. Sadly, he got scammed by expensive collapsible poles that are now made in China, and with zero quality control. I’m grateful SKIWALKING.COM LLC has NEVER recommended collapsible poles. Seniors and those with balance issues should NEVER be sold collapsible poles + athletes destroy them. Thousands of our happy customers first bought collapsible poles on AMAZON and in big box stores and loved the concept of walking with poles, but found them unsafe, noisy,  didn’t hold their settings, were not durable, and were not user-friendly.

Here is sincere appreciation from retired Dr. Bill:  “Thank you for all your helpful information about Nordic Walking

Can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your business and how you have encouraged Nordic  Walking. I retired from orthopedic surgery 3 years ago and encouraged my patients to start Nordic Walking because of less impact on lower extremities and the great workout one obtains.”

Thanks, Doctor Bill, for using our walking poles and encouraging others to do the same!!!
