    I got few sets from LIDL last week,i think they were Rocktrail at around e20 per set.
    Lovely,very touching and lots of options ,resizable,strong and i hope i will give them a long running mileage ! :)

    I guess that compared with well known shops selling at 40-50 we get what we pay for !
    Also,on thursday,new trekking boots in ALDI starting from €22...

    I know it is only €8, but is any good.

    not sure about this years stock, but have used them in previous years and they are top notch.

    Well, I bought these in Aldi yesterday, and they look and feel fine. Test run coming up over the weekend. Thanks for replies.

    I have paid three times the price of aldi walking poles that snapped on the first hike.
    although I prefer last years selection for 8 euro you cannot go far wrong.

    I bought two, but for now I am going to use only the one. I'd feel like a plank using 2.:D

    I think they're ok, but a bit heavy. Personally I think two poles are worth more than double a single pole, although it will take a bit of time before you get used to using them.
