Are these suitable for hiking and walking?

If you read my review, you would know I would never buy them again for anything.

These are great for light workouts such as jogging and walking. Just don't use them for heavy duty exercises such as running or playing tennis.

The poles come with multiple tips that work very well on a variety of surfaces for both walking and hiking.I have the same poles in Spain and Southern California on many miles of trails.

Honestly, I got them in the Spring and plan to use them this Fall/Winter in Idaho and Alaska. But they look better than previously owned crampons I've owned. Their primary function is ice (and that's what I'm using them for). I suppose if the mud/gravel wasn't too deep then they would work. But these are primarily for walking on icy trails or streets. Cheers!

No my dear they are not suitable for cold weather hikes definitely you need to worn some thing under.

It depends on your metabolism. The pants are excellent for tropical environs but I would wear them in the Sierra wilderness trek during the sunny day hiking but they are not heavily durable so I think you need something a bit more of a tuff weave for backpacking in wilderness alpine rough conditions.

If you clip them on your leg good and arent too wild you should be ok. I use mine for skiing and have no problems.

I use them for walking only. The arch isn't very high, but they are comfortable and I've had 5 pairs over the years. Because of the mesh they are good if you have problems in the big toe area (like bunions).

Mine is in my motorcycle saddlebags so for me carrying is not a problem. If your hiking gear includes a backpack you'll be fine. Being discrete will all depend on what you have to carry it in.

I walk a lot, and they were still comfortable as far as heat was concerned. But I don't really know if these are considered breathable.

You could use these for that purpose. I don't walk around a lot in mine though.

They are not so confortable. If looking for something to walk you may see a better product. For pedaling thoose are great shoes.

Yes, but if you doing any walking other than minimal with the cleats, I recommend you buy the cleat covers as they will wear prematurely.

You can absolutely take these for a walk! I wear them driving (legal in my state), at the grocery store or shopping, etc. If your wearing them and you take off a jacket you may hear some static electricity but I just take them off before doing that. Any mechanical noise caused by the wire is very minimal. Only thing I worry about is the rain, but I use a 1 gallon zip lock bag for transport to my car if it is raining for a nice cheap additional water resistant case.

No, they're a lightweight, durable hiking/climbing pant. Tights or long underware under them makes them a good bet for the shoulder seasons.

Yes. But each pack lasts for ~10 hrs for me. 100% worth the purchase. I wear them every day on my walk/train commute.

I've need tried them for deep water walking but I don't know why you couldn't use them that way. They advertise their use for swimming and exercise in a pool.
