Wanderfreund High Fives Aluminum Adjustable Lightweight Walking Pole (Single) for Trekking & Hiking

This is a Stellar walking cane. I’ve been using one for about 15 years off and on when I need it. The first had twist grip adjustments but I really like the flick locks on this newer style. It has a derby style handle which is considered the most comfortable cane grip available. The easy adjustability is important if you wear different shoes as some can make you higher than others. This way you can really dial in the perfect height. It is strong with much less weight than some of the wooden canes. It also collapses down quickly if you need to stow it. The wrist strap is out of the way if you aren’t using it but there if you need to hang the stick off your wrist while using your hands. I highly recommend this model even if you have others in your quiver.

I am just getting to the point of occasionally needing a walking aid and this fits the bill. It's very light, very sturdy, and adjustable for either routine walking or actual hiking/climbing. When collapsed it can hang neatly from a carabiner or stow in checked baggage. The included tip is also TSA approved.

Awesome walking stick! Comfortable handle quick lock works as it should.

So I've been using leki canes for 30 plus years. My old one had the twist locks and my dog chewed the handle. The twist locks had simply stopped working. The old one had one other thing that this one didn't have, a spring shock absorber in the handle. I loved it for three reasons. One was the lightness. I had used a bentwood cane before that, it was just plain heavy. The heavy cane started giving me elbow issues. This cane, by comparison, is light as a feather. Also, I used to fly all of the time. My old cane was an issue, the flight attendants would always take it away and put it into a closet, and they would tell me that they would bring it to me after we landed. About half the time they forgot. The leki could be folded so that it could fit into the overhead and I could recover it. I have not flown with this one but the folding is faster than my last cane. There are other light canes, but this one is strong. I'm heavy and I never feel like this cane is about to bend on me. I've bent other aluminum canes. This cane uses a different locking system than the one that failed. The locks are external, snap locks. The clamp pressure can be adjusted. There are two locks and the cane under the locks is marked with max and min. Pay attention. When my elbow starts hurting, changing the length of the cane by a couple inches can help. The tips are hard, wireless better outdoors. The carbide tip worked best on ice, but it was hard enough that it could stick to tile. The new rubber tips are hard. Indoors I would want a gummier tip. I've tried other brands for various reasons, cost, availability, etc. Once you use a Leki, you realize that a cane can be worth most of $100. I miss the shock absorbers, but I don't see how they cab do them with snap locks.

The stick is beautifully made and sturdy, but be advised 120cm is significantly shorter than previous models. I use the stick as both a hiking and walking, but for me it is too short for hiking.

Great walking stick do indoor and outdoor use. The cork handle is comfortable and the stock collapses to a small size for transport

i really like the grip on this pole, and I’ve had 25 years of generally positive experiences with Leki trekking and ski poles. However this pole is hazardous—it collapsed on me without warning when I was depending on it to provide support. It’s Impossible to adjust the length without using pliers. It Unexpectedly collapses. I’ve used Leki poles for hiking and skiing on hundreds, perhaps thousands, of occasions starting in 1999. All of my previous Leki poles had an internal expansion mechanism that was very effective for maintaining the desired length of the poles. The mechanism was easy to use — just twist the section of the pole that you want to adjust and in a few turns the pole is locked into place. By contrast, to adjust the length of this pole requires loosening and then tightening a tiny tension screw head which is nearly impossible to adequately grip with just fingers. It can be tightened with pliers, but if the length needs to be changed while the pole is being used you can’t do it unless you have pliers with you. I had, I thought, locked the length by using pliers on the tension screw. But when I unexpectedly had to put a lot of weight on the pole to catch me it collapsed. I’m still using this pole but I have no trust in it.

Great lightweight stick, easily adjustable length, tough rubber tip on the end, I use it when walking our two senior dachshunds around the neighborhood. It's also great for going down stairs, using a longer length, so I can feel where my feet will land even before I see the step down; very helpful given my compromised vision. I have several nice wooden canes/walking sticks, but their fixed length and heavier weight now make me reach for my Leki Wanderfreund.
