Size chart – Walking poles

Choosing the right length of running poles provides better running technique, reduces fatigue and increases efficiency in the terrain.

Quick rule:
Body length in cm × 0.67 = recommended rod length
Always round down to the nearest size.

Recommended length

Under 155 cm → 100 cm

155–165 cm → 105 cm

165–172 cm → 110 cm

172–178 cm → 115 cm

178–185 cm → 120 cm

185–192 cm → 125 cm

Over 192 cm → 130 cm

When the tip is in the ground, the elbow should form approximately 90°. A slightly shorter pole is usually better for uphill running. For varied terrain, adjustable poles are recommended.
