This rubber buffer is an ideal asphalt pad for Nordic walking. I have him. As a complement to LEKI POWER GRIP PAD, who was the first equipment on my Leki Flash Shark with it because at its softer rubber wears out very fast on asphalt This pad provides - although it is much harder - sufficient support in drought. On damp surfaces, it can slip back and back. Even on easy sandy forest and meadow paths, the buffer may be used, here I use personally but rather the LEKI POWER GRIP PAD. The asphalt pad is pretty hard (therefore very durable) and springs while running after little. He is also a bit louder than the Leki Pad By hardness.
