Jay I would like to use them for hiking too. The first time I used walking sticks was in Maui, Hawaii back a few years ago. We were hiking and came upon a large group of hikers who had them and they just hiked up and down the rocks easily and quickly, we stopped for a break at some beautiful waterfalls and talked with a couple of the guys. They told us how much more comfortable it is to hike and you have more control. I was intrigued and they were kind enough to let me try them out. At the bottom of the trail I returned them, at the time I thought it was a little strange but they assured me it takes a bit of time getting used to them. I planned to purchase some online and keep them in the coach for when I'm in the mountains or places where I will be doing a little trekking. Haven't done it yet thanks for the reminder, I think I will see about ordering some now. Never know when I'll need them.
