5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect as both walking stick & cane - perfectly engineered, September 1, 2008

After spraining my ankle on the Island of Staffa in Scotland, I bought my Leki more for a cane than a walking stick. The Antishock makes it very easy on the hand. However, for the past few years I have used it primarily as a walking stick. And I love it. It is easy to use, easy on the hands, easy to adjust, strong, light-weight, sturdy and durable. When compressed it fits diagonally in a large suitcase so I can take it when heading to birding locations. When extended, it works wonderfully as a walking staff. Honestly, it is one of the favorite things I own because it is so perfect at what it does. Brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars LEKI walking stick, January 5, 2009

I agree entirely with the previous review. I have had mine for several years and cannot get along without it. For me, the biggest advantage is the adjustability for length. Most canes advertised on the Internet are 36 inches long. This is barely long enough for a six-footer and way too short for a taller man.

This review is from: LEKI Wanderfreund Antishock Trekking Pole - 1 Pole (Sports)

I bought this for a friend who has terrible arthritis in her knees. She has tried different types of walking sticks and nothing works like the Leki. The cork handle along with the telescoping pole relieves the pressure on her hands. She literally uses it all day, every day. I only wish they made a version that was a bit more elegant and stylish rather than simply functional.
