I've been using hiking sticks in the mountains for years - I can't imagine hiking with a 20-30kg backpack without them. They reduce the weight on my knees, especially when going down.
I also used them this winter when I had to walk because the roads were too disgusting to bike (alternating layers of ice and salt).
I bought a set for my Mom and after the first day her chest muscles hurt so bad she though that her heart was giving up. After that passed she was (and still is) thrilled at the ease and speed of walking.
