Walking poles - which ones best for short women??

[user2251]

Hi

I like hiking but have recently had health problems. I think walking poles would help but I'm short (5 feet), are there any which would be better for me??

Most (all?) walking poles are height adjustable. With health problems perhaps look for lightweight ones? Mine came from Lidl and are often admired.

I'm 5'2" and haven't had issues with poles. I've had about 3 sets of my own in the past 20 years and sometimes borrowed 6' DH's without bother.

The part to pay attention to is the quality/ comfort of the handles/ grips. You don't want blistered hands after a few miles.
