Again, who would apply the same measures to their hands? What about rock climbers? Oops, my hand is too weak, I need some kind of fixed claw device to drag myself upward. LOL
LOL. Um, couldn't that be called "gloves"?
I almost always wear some type of glove whenever I use hiking poles to protect my hands. As far as my feet I am still in the boot camp and wear Asolo but not the full grain leather heavy ones.
