@jude07 You will read @sueinmn's reply to you, and see she is well versed in these walking poles! I love them, and use them often these days. They help me balance my body, so I am not reliant solely on my cane. Have even considered using them when I have to go to the store. There is no shame to use them for a purpose away from the original intention of a hiking stick. Being able to balance your body, assist in uneven surfaces, and give you the peace of mind that you are moving around, would be foremost in your mind.
And at the very least, they can be used as warnings for people to stay 6' away LOL

I'm so glad to read this thread -- I just got a pair of walking sticks to help me feel more secure while walking and will try them later day. I think they will make me feel like an intrepid explorer.

Hello, Ginger. Are the Nordic sticks helpful even for short walks like in the store, in and out like that? I may be past that since I've 'advanced' to a walker when actually walking for any distance, more than a few steps. I use a cane well to cross the street to see my son, but not much further than that.
Glad you're getting out and walking!
Blessings to you and may you keep getting stronger, moving more. Elizabeth
