The walking poles in question are Leki Makalu Classic. They are a standard walking pole design and there is nothing unusual about them. "Where are your skis?!" heckled passers-by when I was walking down the trail, with my poles, minding my own business. Obviously I laughed so much at this witty comment that my sides split. I gave the hecklers an unamused stony stare and carried on my way. ;-) Does anyone else receive this kind of comment whilst out hiking with their walking poles?
