Everywhere I look there seems to be Leki poles which seem to be fine but

Yes, they are quite expensive if you get them from an outdoor shop.

So..... I went to Aldi. Aldi and Lidl occasionally have poles and I
managed to get two for about 7 or 8 pounds each. On the face of it,
these cheap poles are "better" than my Leki Sport (they are
anti-shock) ..... and, for the price. they're certainly no worse!

Keep an eye on the weekly offers on www.aldi.co.uk and www.lidl.co.uk

Indeed. I have a pair of those which I have used a bit. My better half
uses them more than me due to the result of a knee injury from a crash
when she was about three.

They are light, appear robust (no problems in a year of sporadic use)
and comfortable. I recommend them to any folk who would like to try
poles without wanting to spend a lot.
