Anything can be done? I imagine gloves are not worth it
I dunno what's good https://www.amazon.de/s?k=padded+gloves+grip&crid=A9PTK2F9WGHL&sprefix=padded+gloves+grip%2Caps%2C116&ref=nb_sb_noss
There's losing weight of course, that should help
Hand pain instead of leg strength is limiting my walker usage

Had the same thing in the beginning with crutches. Your skin will adapt at your palm after a while (similar to when rock climbing). You can use gloves but I wouldn‘t recommend it tbh

Can't remember who suggested gloves to me, but I had a similar pair to your linked pair. Good padding but still decent dexterity in gloves was what I looked for. Also very good grip is key. Rubbery beats cloth. I found several that worked well enough. For me it was more for using my wheelchair than walker. But I basically wore them all the time except sleeping, eating, swimming or water exercising, contacts, brushing teeth, etc. I went thru a pair every 1-2 months. Seemed like other patients did fine without any, but I thought using gloves worked great and it was a no brainer. I recommend gloves and can't imagine LL without them. I was the heaviest person at WPB back during my LL so maybe others didn't need as much. Good luck.
