In my opinion, they are a "must have" item for most adults. They give you
great leverage going uphill, and cushion your knees on the way down. On level
sections, they seem to help my stride. I prefer a pair of the collapsible,
shock absorbing style. REI usually puts a good matched pair on sale in the $60
price range, just keep your eyes open.
