Very great value in these trekking poles. Usually you have to pay a lot more to get lightweight, durable poles like these. I weighed them at 7.3 oz each including the lanyard and spike cover.
I've used these on dirt and snow for hiking/mountaineering and they have fared very well. I haven't used them on pavement. The "spike" at the bottom grips very well and provides a lot of traction.
The grip is really nice and comfortable. I like the extended grip so you can grab it at a lower position when you're going up a steep incline. The poles feel very sturdy and don't wobble or bend much at all even with my 200# weight pressing down on them. Make sure you appropriately tighten the screw before you clamp the height adjustment in place. It should feel like you're almost pressing too hard to clamp it. Otherwise the pole will shorten as you press down on it. The pole has length markings to help you get both poles at the right length, which is very useful.
My one issue was with the baskets. They are kind of cheap plastic things and get threaded on. This may be my own fault but I didn't sufficiently tighten one while using it in snow and over the course of the hike it loosened and fell off. I have to buy a new basket now. Luckily I noticed and was able to tighten the remaining one before I lost it as well. Not enough of an issue to warrant docking a star, just make sure you really tighten the baskets!
I don't really use the lanyard/leash so I won't comment much on that but it seemed comfortable. It did seem a bit hard to adjust the size. Again, don't take my opinion on that.
