5 hiking boots mistakes to avoid to help them last longer

A person walking over a bridge in hiking boots.

We all know that a pair of decent hiking boots and walking shoes doesn’t come cheap. After all, they’re an investment for your feet, providing superior support and comfort when venturing out on uneven and trickier trails.

According to Mountain Warehouse, a pair of hiking boots should last between 500-1200 miles (so if you only walk 10 miles per week you’re looking at a lifespan of one to two years). However, if you've found your boots aren’t lasting this length of time then it's possible you could be damaging them without even knowing it and, as a result, shortening their life.
