Whether your goal is fitness, Total Body Walking™, Nordic Walking, hiking, improving posture, training for distance challenges or simply making walking feel easier, the Velocity combines lightweight performance with the revolutionary WALX Ergo Grip™ to help you walk naturally, comfortably and efficiently.
Every pair includes FREE access to our comprehensive Power of the Poles™ Online Course, providing everything you need to master the unique WALX Tri-Motion™ Method and achieve better results from every walk.
The Revolutionary WALX Ergo Grip™
Unlike conventional walking or Nordic walking poles, the WALX Ergo Grip™ has been designed around the natural movement of the human body.
Designed in Britain and protected by patent, the ergonomic cork handle features a unique 15° vertical and 12° horizontaloffset which mirrors the natural position of your hands and wrists during walking.
This allows your wrist to remain relaxed and neutral throughout your stride, reducing unnecessary strain whilst encouraging efficient propulsion and upper body engagement.
The whole-hand support design helps to:
- Maintain a natural wrist position
- Reduce gripping effort and hand fatigue
- Improve comfort over longer walks
- Encourage stronger posture
- Increase stability and confidence
- Eliminate the need for traditional Nordic walking straps for most users
The sculpted thumb support and ulnar shelf allow the entire hand to work naturally with the pole, creating a secure yet relaxed grip throughout every step.
Discover the WALX Tri-Motion™ Method
The poles are only part of the story.
The real difference comes from learning the exclusive WALX Tri-Motion™ Method.
Developed from over two decades of research, teaching and working with hundreds of thousands of walkers, Tri-Motion™ combines three key movement patterns that help your body move more naturally and efficiently.
You’ll learn how to:
- Improve posture and alignment
- Create effortless forward propulsion
- Engage your core naturally
- Activate the chest, shoulders, back and arms
- Increase stride efficiency
- Reduce unnecessary joint loading
- Walk further with less effort
Whether your objective is health, fitness, rehabilitation or preparing for a long-distance event, Tri-Motion™ helps you get significantly more from every walk.
Total Body Walking™
Walking is one of the world’s best forms of exercise.
Total Body Walking™ makes it even better.
By incorporating the upper body into every stride, you’ll naturally engage far more muscles than ordinary walking, helping you:
- Burn more calories
- Tone arms, shoulders, back and core
- Strengthen your legs and glutes
- Improve balance and stability
- Walk taller with better posture
- Open the chest for easier breathing
- Reduce impact through knees, hips and lower back

Adjustable for Your Technique
Pole Length: 90cm–125cm
Correct pole length depends on much more than your height.
Factors including arm length, walking technique, stride length and experience all influence your optimum pole length.
One of the advantages of the Velocity™ is that the poles can be adjusted as your technique develops, allowing them to grow with you as your walking improves.
If you are over approximately 6ft (183cm) or have particularly long arms, you may benefit from our longer WALX Xplorer™, TBW Pro™ or Carbon Pro™ models. Our team will be happy to advise and upgrade your order where appropriate.
Trusted by Hundreds of Thousands
The team behind WALX introduced Nordic Walking to the UK over 20 years ago and has trained more than 4,000 instructors, supported over 200 community health projects, and helped over half a million people discover the benefits of walking with poles.
