I am inclined to agree. The only sellers I can find of "nordic walking poles" is Leki and some hard-sell firm (that harps about the dangers of adjustable poles) that I have never heard of.

I've seen the special feet for sale. It doesn't seem like the "special" straps/grips amount to much of a difference.
