They look interesting...

The angle at the wrist can be difficult for people with wrist or carpal tunnel however.

I use a walking stick...called a hiking stick to go up and down our
outside stairs. So far the stick works for me. But when I use it alot, it does put a strain on my right arm and shoulder.
You use these mostly vertically..so less strain on the wrist.

It just depends on what you need and can tolerate. I've had carpal tunnel since my pregnancy 32 yrs ago.
