It's the poles, yes, but more specifically that they're attached to able-bodied, youthful, athletic types.
For people with mobility problems, I see the point, yes... and lots of elderly folks here in Retirement-Town use the poles as a sort of double whammy cane, while out walking. That I understand completely and if it gets people moving, that's wonderful.
But, able-bodied, youthful, athletic types... and with matching gloves. I don't understand it. Well, I do but I don't.
I have some poles like that...they reduce impact on your knees and effectively make you act like a quadruped. Also useful for long downhill descents on uneven ground.
We also have matching coats but that is because mine kept getting pinched and I do try not to go places where people will notice!
are they very big feet?? or funny shoes??
ReplyDeleteSnow shoes, obviously, to suit the conditions.
ReplyDelete;-)
Ah, is it the poles that worry you?
ReplyDeleteThey aren't ski poles but hiking poles. Their use is supposed to increase cardiac output, or efficiency of aerobic exercise stuff.
I just thought they had pointy feet, very big pointy feet.
