The Leki Super Micro cane is not your average cane, it is a sporty model traditionally used for Alpine hiking made by the leader in high performance walking sticks, nordic sticks and ski poles; now repurposed as an attractive alternative to boring institutional walking canes.
This updated model includes the Super Lock System, which means stronger pole joints, no slippage, and simple adjustment. For storage, it compacts down to a mere 18 inches and extends to 35 inches. The AergoMED grip is ergonomically designed to reduce hand fatigue and stress and to give the greatest control. Whether you prefer to grip it with palm on top, side, or bottom, the control is remarkable.

LEKI USA is always written in capital letters because it is an acronym - LEKI is pronounced, "Lake-ee". LE are the first two letters of the owner's last name, Klaus Lenhart, and KI is from the location of the company, Kirchheim/Teck, Germany.

THE LEGEND OF LEKI and their walking canes, poles and sticks - LEKI, the world's leading manufacturer of ski, hiking and trekking poles, had its start in Kircheim, Germany as a hobby of its founder, Karl Lenhart, an airframe mechanic and avid skier. Lenhart believed aluminum would make a superior ski pole compared to the heavy steel models available in the late 1940's. After successfully creating light-weight poles for his friends, in 1954, the hobby became a full time business.
LEKI originated the use of nylon webbing for straps and created plastic molded grips and baskets in place of metal and leather. Additionally, Lenhart developed an aluminum tempering process that produces pole shafts with incomparable strength, durability, and reliability.
In 1984, Klaus Lenhart, Karl's son, assumed leadership and shortly thereafter developed the first dual-component grip. He is also responsible for improving adjustable pole-locking technology and grip innovations such as the Trigger "Click-In" system and COR-TEC, a material made of real cork and latex.
As the ski market continued to flourish, LEKI began manufacturing hiking poles primarily for European mountain guides. The concept of using two poles as a means of relieving stress on knee joints and the lower back appealed to climbers who also saw benefits in performance and safety. LEKI poles eventually caught on with the general hiking and trekking population that recognized and appreciated the preventive health benefits as well as the climbing support and stabilizing effects. In 1990, LEKI USA was incorporated.
The North American market has embraced the company's line of alpine, Nordic, back country, mountaineering, Nordic walking, and trekking poles. Like their European counterparts who have been loyal to LEKI for nearly five decades, North American outdoor enthusiasts know and appreciate LEKI quality and value.
