>>2405245I'm 187cm and 110kg, while calling me fat would be a stretch, i could drop 15kg an be fine.
My feet hurt too. I always have blisters, regardless of what shoes or socks or tricks i try. It is what it is and i don't let it stop me.
It's all healed up at the next weekend, so it's ok.
>>2405308Yes, they allow your upper body to help with some of the work. Once you have a rythm, it's awesome to propel yourself up a hill with poles.
Also an asset if you scramble around in the alps.
