How long can I expect these shoes to last?
With proper care and regular maintenance, the durable construction of the Orava Advanced shoes should provide reliable performance for many hiking seasons.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have purchased the correct UK size. Try wearing them with appropriate hiking socks and allow for a break-in period on shorter walks.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Check the shoe's outsole for embedded debris and clean thoroughly. Ensure the terrain is within the shoe's intended performance capabilities.
