Trekking LAB

Do you use trekking or hiking poles? Some people use them and some people hate them. Here is a list of cases on which I suggest you to use poles:

1. people who have inferior limbs articulations problems, four legs are better then two
2. on snow, they helps to balance yourself
3. hikes with enough unevenness, to decrease the effort when you climb and to protect your knees on the skids
4. when the backpack is heavy, they take the weight off the knees
5. when you trek, walk on for some days could be hard, poles can helps you!
6. instead of use a wood walking stick, poles are less romantic but more useful.

Again the question: do you use them? Feel free to post your answer.
