Using a walking stick to hike is a great way to be able to enjoy the beauty of nature and to get some exercise in the great outdoors. Walking sticks are great accessories for anyone who enjoys hiking. They help you maintain your balance on terrain that is uneven and while you cross through streams and rivers. For anyone who has lost their footing hiking, you know how great a walking stick can be. 

Hiking can take a toll on your feet and legs, especially for those who are not in the best physical shape or who have other health issues to contend with. Many people with knee and lower back pain find using a walking stick enables them to get back to hiking again. A walking stick can also be a great self defense tool if the need presents itself. Most people only use one walking stick but some individuals prefer the support of having one in each hand.

There are many different walking sticks to choose from. You will want to test them out before making a purchase. Everyone has a style that they prefer depending on their individual needs. I would suggest getting a walking stick with a strap to hold onto easily. You will also want to consider the grip, the weight of the walking stick, if it adjusts to various lengths, and how easy it is to set up and store. 

Walking sticks for hiking can be purchased at sporting goods stores and many other retailers. While you can purchase them online it is difficult to do so because you can’t test it out. I guess you can always send it back if you aren’t happy with it. It is a good idea to read reviews and information on the various walking sticks available before making a purchase.
