To perform Nordic Walking one only needs proper Nordic Walking poles. However, there are a few products which make your Nordic Walking experience even more special. Have a look below.

Accessories

Drink Belts

For extended walks some sort of carrying system for water, snacks and a basic first aid kit is necessary. Choosing a suitable system which doesn't interfer with the fluid arm swing back and forth of Nordic walking is essential. Slim line back packs or a decent drink belt are the best options.

The small bag is ideal for adjustable poles while the large bag fits all lengths fixed length poles. The large bag can be folded down to the length of the poles. For convenient carriage the bag comes with an adjustable shoulder strap.

What to Wear

Shoes

The most distinguishing feature between an ordinary fitness or running shoe and a shoe for Nordic walking is the construction of the heel (because of the more forceful heel strike of the Nordic Walking stride). If you are a regular Nordic Walker then the acquistion of suitable footwear is highly advised. There are now a few shoes on the market which have been designed specifically for the needs of Nordic Walkers and are a wise investment for your feet. If however, you are an occasional Nordic walker then lightweight outdoor or fitness walking shoes will suffice.

Clothing

Clothing should be comfortable and made from functional and breathable material. For the more serious Nordic walker athletic leggings and sports tops are recommended.A handy additional feature for your clothing is the addition of small pockets which can hold the rubber paws of your poles when they are not required.
