Pete, Thank you!  I purchased them for my active 80-year-old father, who happens to have neuropathy.  These walking poles will help him continue to stay active! My dad says there are three kinds of senior adults: “Go-Goes” “Slow-Goes” and “No-Goes” I’m so excited that he’s going to continue to be in the “Go-Goes” category! Thank […]

Hi Pete! I’ve had my SWIX walking poles for about a month now, and I’m thrilled. Left a five-star review for you – I appreciate how unbelievably prompt everything was – as well as for the poles themselves. I’ll definitely be recommending you to anyone who wants a pair. We just got a large dog […]

Just came back from my first Ski Walk and absolutely love it!!!  As an aerobics instructor, I can highly recommend this exercise to everyone and anyone.  I will be talking these up to my students who need to get on dry land for cross training even on our indoor track.  I am amazed at the […]

For the past year, I have had an unusual and confusing neurological movement disorder, known by 3 different names as: functional neurological disorder, functional movement disorder, or psychogenic movement disorder. The condition makes it difficult for me to walk smoothly and without fear that my legs will freeze, drag, or buckle. To compensate for my […]

Dear Pete, I got some Nordic poles from you several months ago and love them. I have ME/CFS and an unstable left hip. The combination of problems was keeping me from being able to hike on our country property, and the lack of exercise was even making it hard to get on my horse. The […]

I love my poles. I have MS and have had my right hip replaced. For 28 years before I had the hip replacement, I was a runner.  My balance had become a real problem from the MS.  I got the poles 2 weeks ago and now I am able to walk 2 miles without any […]
