I walk blacktop and dirt trails and so far so good. Iv'e put about 30 miles on these poles and they work fine. I plan on getting new tips because are already very worn. After market tips are better anyway. Enjoy.

I got these because I have never used poles before, but as I age I find my grace leaves something to be desired. Anyway, I am not one who really abuses equipment any more than I have to. So far I have put about 20 miles on these from two seperate day hikes, one being fairly active with hills, creek crossings, and such. I am 155 pounds and usually carry about 20 extra pounds with clothes & gear. The poles have held up to with no signs of weakness. They bear weight without any give, and support just fine. I have no idea how long they will last, but I will say that they have convinced my to keep using poles in the future, so for entry level poles, they do what they are supposed to do.

Mine stayed strong for crossing streams or hiking on rocky trails, especially at Mount Osceola Trail in New Hampshire while it was very slippery with snow and icy water. I got my 2 poles as a set and was free with purchase of Mountainsmith Women's Laurel Backpack. I used only one pole at a time because I wanted one hand free and often switch pole from one hand to another. Though I relied on only one pole, I never fell "yet" even in the dark (in the rain at White Oak Canyon and Ceder Run at AT, Virginia). Of course, you will need good hiking boots to balance your feet. I have mine about a year now so can't tell for long lasting quality.

The price was right but on the first week long backpacking trip in the Wind River Range my wife snapped off one of the poles. Leki poles would have survived the same stick-jab. Sorry... they are pretty but more for Day hikes than serious backpacking.
