Fully met my expectations. I wanted hiking shoes in which you can put your own support insoles and which support the ankle after the fracture well.
Easy to slip on, and nice looking shoes.

UK sizing.
Gore-Tex membrane for total water protection. The Lavena II is supportive and sturdy enough for use in rocky, bouldery terrain while carrying a heavy backpack.
Lowa does not use PFC chemicals in any of their products.
This shoe can be re-soled: if you manage to wear through the soles, the mid and outer soles can be replaced.
You can print Lowa’s size guide and use a credit card to measure your foot. The card is used as a spacer to place the A4 paper just far enough from the wall that its length is suitable for use in this way.
