Thank you for the lovely feedback. It’s great to hear you’ve had such a positive experience with the Xcelerator poles over the past two years — and what a thoughtful Christmas gift for your relative in Spain. Just to add a small note for clarity: while many people still refer to this as Nordic Walking, these poles are designed for Total Body Walking, encouraging a natural walking action while engaging the core and upper body. We’re so pleased they’ve worked so well for you and hope your relative enjoys the same benefits. Mike from the WALX Team

That’s lovely to hear — we’re delighted your daughter-in-law is thrilled with her WALX Velocity poles. It’s great to know the support from the team helped make the right choice, and we hope she enjoys many comfortable, confidence-boosting walks with them. — The WALX Team

Thank you for your review. The challenge here is that the poles you’re using are not from a brand we supply, and each manufacturer uses different ferrule diameters. This means not all paws are interchangeable, even when they look very similar. To save you any further hassle or expense, the best option is for you to return the paws to us for a refund. We would also recommend visiting the store where your poles were purchased, as they will be able to provide paws designed specifically for that pole model and diameter. If you need help with the return, just get in touch — we’re happy to assist. — The WALX Team

Thank you for your review. We’re pleased the length works well for you, but we’re sorry to hear the poles haven’t met your expectations in terms of adjustability and storage. Just to clarify for anyone reading: the WALX Carbon Pro is our performance model. It has a full-length 100% carbon shaft with a short alloy handle section, giving only 10cm of adjustment (120–130cm) by design. This ensures maximum strength and responsiveness — but it does mean they won’t collapse to the shorter travel lengths of our multi-section poles, and they won’t fit into smaller car boots unless stored diagonally. Carbon also can’t be manufactured to the same tight tolerances as alloy, so the adjustment can feel firmer on brand-new poles. This eases with normal use. For anyone needing shorter storage or more adjustability, we offer alternative models such as the WALX Velocity (100–125cm) or WALX Xplorer (100–130cm, 3-section travel model), both of which are designed to collapse much smaller. If you’d like help choosing a model that better suits your needs, we’re always happy to advise. — The WALX Team

Thank you for your detailed review. It’s great to hear you recognise the safety benefits of a strapless design — especially for anyone who has ever tripped, walked on uneven ground, or pushed hard for pace. That’s exactly why these poles were created. Just to clarify for other customers reading this: We are Nordic Walking UK — the original founders who brought Nordic Walking to the UK. But it’s important to understand that Nordic Walking in the UK is not the same as the competitive sport seen in parts of Europe. Here in the UK, 99% of people do Nordic Walking for fitness, health, mobility, posture, strength and general wellbeing — not for racing, strict technique, or sport-level performance. For that reason, the traditional strapped technique and stiff carbon race poles often aren’t the best fit. That’s why we created WALX® and Total Body Walking®. This new approach gives people: •a more natural movement •better whole-body engagement •far lower risk of injury in a fall •more comfort for everyday fitness walking •more adaptability for mixed terrain •and equipment that reflects how Nordic Walking is actually used in the UK. Regarding materials — the Carbon Pro poles use 7075 high-grade aerospace alloy on the short handle section, as do Leki, Gabel and Fizan and is one of the strongest and most sustainable pole materials available. The main bottom section is 100% carbon BUT: we are minded, carbon production is one of the least sustainable processes on the planet. We’ve reduced carbon use deliberately on our other models, in favour of performance, durability and sustainability. Finally, on workout intensity: The technique for Total Body Walking® is different from traditional Nordic Walking. When used correctly, these poles actually offer more whole-body engagement for most people. Many of the top Nordic Walking coaches in Europe — including former Olympic cross-country athletes — now use this style of pole in training because it gives them a stronger functional workout. They simply switch back to straps when competing, because competition rules require it. We really appreciate your thoughts, and we’re glad you chose to share them. If you’d like support adapting your technique to get the full benefit from these poles, we’re more than happy to help. — The WALX Team

Thank you for the fantastic feedback on the Xplorer poles! They’re a brilliant choice for travel, and it’s great to hear the three-section design makes packing them into your luggage so easy. And just to gently update the wording — we now call the activity Total Body Walking, which is exactly what these poles excel at. Enjoy every step, especially on your trips away! The WALX Team

Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted you’re enjoying the Carbon Pro poles — the lightweight, strap-free design and ergonomic grip are made to give exactly that smooth, powerful drive through each walking stroke.

We also really appreciate your patience while we resolved the issues with your order, and we’re glad everything was sorted quickly to your satisfaction.

Thank you for the 4-star review! We’re glad you’re happy with the paws overall. If there’s anything we can do to turn that into a 5-star experience — or if you have any feedback on how they’re performing — we’d love to hear from you. We’re always here to help with advice or support.

Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re really pleased you’re happy with the pole bag — it’s a handy bit of kit for keeping your poles protected and easy to carry. — The WALX Team

We’re delighted you’re pleased with your poles and accessories! The Xcelerators are designed to give stability and comfort, and pairing them with Fizan paws is a great choice.
