  Keep your Balance and Look Good at the Same Time
  
  Using a walking stick made of blackthorn then is especially useful for anyone who needs sturdy support for walking and keeping their balance. A practical object, the walking stick is stylish as well. A blackthorn Irish walking stick, in particular, is always an appreciated cane, and a good way to keep from falling on fragile ground.
  
  
  
  Irish walking sticks, or Shillelaghs, are walking sticks that are short and made with knotty wood. The handle is typically a large knot or a shaped handle that is designed to fit the contours of your hand. Irish walking sticks are usually made with oak or blackthorn and they are known for their dark black finish. Some shillelaghs are hollowed out using molten lead, which makes them heavier. The walking sticks with lead in them are referred to as 'loaded sticks.' Shillelaghs are associated with Ireland because they originated in or around Ireland and they were used in Ireland often. They originated as weapons and were used to settle disputes, similar to duels using pistols or swords. They were used as weapons often, but now they are used as walking sticks. Today shillelaghs are also used as Irish symbols for several things, including many different sport teams.
  
  Shillelaghs are still used today and are good for anybody who wants more stability when they walk, but would also like a stylish walking stick. There are a lot of different designs for Irish walking sticks, and you can find them from a variety of stores and websites. Some walking sticks are more ornate than others, for example, some have designs carved into the stick or handle, while others have ornate stones decorating them, or they are used as the handles. Some walking sticks have straps attached to them too. Irish walking stick handles can vary greatly in design as well. You can find basic sticks with a large knot as the handle, a shaped handle to fit with the contours of your hand, a stone or gem handle, or a handle shaped like something, like the head of some animal like a wolf.
  
  A Utilitarian Item
  
  Sheepherders in Ireland also find use for the stick too. Therefore, on the Emerald Green Isle, the stick takes many forms and is used in a variety of ways. However, the walking cane is still a preferred pick of many dedicated pedestrians. Wayfarers, young and old alike, enjoy using the blackthorn walking stick. In fact, studies confirm that walkers who use a walking stick burn more calories and tread over more area than trekkers and hikers who forgot using such an assist. It may be because the stick causes you to challenge yourself more and take paths that are more difficult. After all, how many people would decide to amble up a steep grade without the aid of a walking stick or cane?
  
  Receive the Full Benefits of Exercise
  
  In addition, because you are using the stick to support your back and leg muscles, you are able to keep pace for a longer period of time and walk even further than you thought possible. A walking stick also serves as a type of weight. Therefore, you can combine weight training with walking to obtain the full benefits of the exercise.
