Since you mentioned it, I moved your post. I like trekking poles. I have used mine for cross-country ski poles and for snowshoeing, as well as hiking. They do help, especially on downhills. They take some of the stress off my knees. They are also very useful for balance on sketchy terrain or for crossing streams. They come in all price ranges. If you are unsure, buy a cheap pair and try them out.
