Asphalt Paw

The lightweight and sleek Control Asphalt Paw is made from the same material as car tires for excellent improved grip. The Control Asphalt Paw provides maximum grip throughout all stages of the pole cadence and can be relied upon whatever the weather conditions. The paw effectively absorbs pole impact when walking on hard surfaces. It comes as a regular accessory with the Nordic Walker® Trainer poles. The Asphalt Paw should be removed when used on soft surfaces, such as grass or dirt.

In addition the Nordic Walker® spiketip works best in off pavement conditions without the Paw. Please keep in mind that the Paws gradually wear and should be replaced when there is very little surface material left. Replacement Paws can be obtained by contacting: donna.marsh@q-imaging.co.nz
