You're buying poles, not a car.

Get the cheapest and if it's too long, cut it. If it's too short, live with it.

go to your local shop
ask if they have any junior poles that are around 40''
also you can find some used ones at your local mountain and just cut those down

get 20$ armada quick release grips and buy some low quality adult Scotts and cut them and put the armada handles on, then you dont have to go through the hassle of boiling off grips
