Bought these for my mother who has hip problems because these are designed for physical therapy and, although my Mom isn't overweight, are rated for 200 lbs per pole. These are adjusted via spring loaded pegs that fit into the selected hole. This is a much stronger and reliable way of adjustment than the walking poles that I use which rely on twisting, and occasionally loosen and telescope. I have to check these constantly which isn't something my mother is going to remember to do.These poles are specifically made to bear weight and won't collapse. On the package of my hiking poles it specifically says they aren't for use as canes.

After experiencing some health issues I took up pole walking. The first set of poles I tried were hard to use. These poles were made for me! They are light, but sturdy. The grips are very comfortable. The tips work well on sidewalks, dirt paths, pavement, and lawns. I enjoy using them. My walk without the poles is improving. My doctor is impressed with my progress!

I use these walking as part of my daily exercise routine. They provide me with the balance and stability I require, and they make we walk straighter and further than ever before.

I have not used these as I had hoped I would, but I haven't been walking as much either. These poles are well made, very sturdy and light weight. They are easy to use and I did find that when I was walking and used these that my knees and back did not hurt near as much as they had done in the past. I didn't even wear a compression sleeve on my knee. I did need to wear gloves when I used these, but that's because it was darn hot and my hands were sweating a lot and I was having trouble gripping the poles. Not the poles fault, it was just in the high 80's with high humidity. These are a basic walking pole for balance and stability, they are not Alpine walking poles. There are not a lot of videos of Activators on line, mainly Alpine, but view some of the on line information to make sure that you are getting what you want. There is a difference. One big thing is these have no straps, mainly because of stress on the wrists. When I do get out and walk, I use these and it makes a big difference in how far and long I can go and how I feel afterwards.

I really like my walking poles. They give me great confidence to walk standing up right and now worrying if they are going to collapsed like other cheaper ones I have had. I was introduce to these by my physiotherapist and so glad I ordered them.

An all round excellent product. Very sturdy, and yet surprisingly lightweight. If I had any criticism, I would like to have wrist straps on the handles, although that is easily remedied for an extra cost. I use and enjoy them several times daily.

As a 91 year old senior with knee weakness I recently added urban pole walking to my exercise routine. It not only helps me walk to strengthen my legs, but it also exercises my upper body muscles, and helps me stand erect. The bonus is that it is a very enjoyable activity. These Urban Poles are an excellent product which I adapted to very quickly.

I love these poles! The mechanism to adjust the poles is very easy and holds in place. The handles on the ACTIVATOR poles allow you to rest your hands on while walking, so there is no slipping. The bells are wider than most poles so they offer more stability. I also purchased the boots and I've been walking with these every day. Great upper body workout. Highly recommend. Well worth the money.

I have only used these poles for a short while, but can feel they are keeping my body in a better alignment than the single walking stick I'm used to. My GP suggested they would probably be better than a stick and I think time will prove her to be correct. Well made and fast delivery.

I recently found out I need both my hips replaced. We had booked a trip to Germany and I needed something which could help with the walking I would have to do. My cane was not going to do it. These poles allowed me to enjoy Germany for 2 weeks. I found them true to their listed benefits - reduce pressure on hips and knees and stopped my "waddling" so I was more stable. Due to my improved posture and hence movement, I was able to walk longer and further, though breaks were a necessity. I recommend what the retailer suggests - build up your use and do not lean on the handles as if they are crutches. Leaning will put too much pressure on your shoulders, back and arms. I also love they can be adjusted to accommodate different heights (I am 5 ft 3 inches) and can be reduced to fit easily in about half the overhead compartment of a plane. The only drawback is that it is hard to carry anything in your hands so a backpack is the best for a purse, briefcase or luggage. I have dumped the cane and will use the poles for now on.

I have mobility and balance problems and foot drop due to neuropathy, and assumed I'd no longer be able to go hill walking, which was previously one of my hobbies. Since getting these walking poles last month, I've felt far more confident when walking - I guess they're like stabilisers for a bike! I've been walking on paths (and even across fields) that I thought I'd never see again. I should add that I'm having treatment for my neuropathy, so that's improving in its own right, but the fact that I can get out and exercise and build up my strength is also helping my symptoms improve. Fantastic and highly recommended - well worth the price.
