These poles need to be adjusted at a slightly lower level than a typical hiking, nordic or fitness walking poles. This is due to the 15 degree shaft and unique handle design that do not require a push from the heel of the hand. A great starting point is to loosen the poles and stand with elbow at 90 degree angle and push slightly to drop the wrist below the elbow level. Tighten the pole adjuster and follow use guidelines for comfort – check out our videos
