Circus performer's long walking poles (6)

I believe the answer is:

stilts

(Other definitions for stilts that I've seen before include "Poles used for walking high above the ground" , "Walking poles; birds" , "Sticks to help you walk tall" , "Sticks to wall on" , "Long sticks for elevated walking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
