How do I choose poles for Nordic walking?
Ski poles or any other poles are not suitable for Nordic walking.
The design should have certain specific parameters, tips, handles that were developed specifically for Nordic walking:
A replaceable tip:
- A cap in the form of a point - needed for moving on slippery surfaces, loose soil.
- The rubber tip is better to use when walking on asphalt, concrete surfaces, etc.
- The tip in the form of a rubber boot is for those who are starting to master this sport.
The handle should be of an ergonomic design - as comfortable as possible to grip without slipping.
The temlyak should fit snugly to the hand, but without excessive pressure on soft tissues, blood vessels and joints.
Choosing a stick for Nordic walking by height:
- You should choose a stick that is the right size for you, wearing the shoes you use for training.
- The length is calculated by the formula: a person's height is multiplied by a factor of 0.68.

ATTENTION! We can make a convenient case for your poles upon your request!
