G'day Kathy,

You should be fine with any of our walking poles for city use, but I would highly recommend you grab some of the Black Diamond Trekking Pole Tip Protectors. They'll soften the feeling when the pole strikes the ground and they'll eliminate the clacking noise the poles can make on concrete or pavement. 

G'day Frances, 

The Women's Trail Trekking Poles can be adjusted from 59 - 123 cm, so given that you're around 5"7 you shouldn't have an issue with them being too short, so we wouldn't say you would need to size up to the men's version. 

G'day Reg,

We've not ever heard of anyone having issues with vibrations or rattles with the Black Diamond Women's Trail Trekking Poles. 

G'day Heather,

The 3 shafts of the Black Diamond Women's Trail Trekking Poles slide into each other. When extended, they are locked in place with Black Diamond's double Flick Lock™ mechanisms.

G'day Jane,

Great question, the weight for all Black Diamond Pole Sets is listed for the pair.

G'day Ange,

The minimum height for the Black Diamond Women's Trail Trekking Pole is 59cm. Hiking poles are typically fitted from the ground to your hand with your arm against your body and bent at a 90-degree right at the elbow. From what you've described, it sounds like these poles will fit you, no worries.

G'day Linda,

This pricing is for a pair, which generally helps increase your hiking efficiency - it's like having four legs instead of two!
