Walking poles for balance snd workout

On a related note, my father is 87 years old and has some difficulty maintaining his balance when walking. I think that he could really benefit from using walking poles to walk outside his house on the sidewalks and walking paths. Are there any brands for walking poles that anyone can recommend? Thank you.

Welcome @sam28, I bought a set of these inexpensive trekking poles for myself and my wife. I like to use them when the weather is nice and I have the chance to go for a little longer walk than around the house. I'm 80 and love that these are light weight and collapsible. They also come with different tips for the different surfaces but I mostly just use the round tips for any surface.

Does your father enjoy being outside and walking?
