The Top Trail GTX Low is Meindl's everyday trail shoe for people who want waterproof protection and reliable grip without the weight of a hiking boot.

Variofix lacing provides a precise, adjustable fit across the foot that holds consistently through the varied movement of active trail use, keeping the shoe feeling dialed-in whether you're on a groomed trail or navigating rougher ground. The ultra-light A flex rating keeps the Top Trail GTX Low feeling responsive and natural underfoot, and the Air Active insole provides cushioning and support for the daily miles that regular trail users put in.
Suede leather and mesh construction delivers the right balance of durability and breathability for everyday trail use. Gore-Tex® waterproof lining adds reliable all-weather protection across wet trails and unexpected conditions. At 4.5 inches on a standard last and handcrafted in Germany to Meindl's exacting standards, the Top Trail GTX Low is the everyday trail performance shoe that shows up reliably and gets out of the way so you can focus on the trail ahead.
No intentionally added PFAS chemicals.
I lived in Germany for 17 years and I learned of Meindl footwear and accessories there. I've ordered from Meindl USA before. My latest order arrived with a fit that was too large. I immediately returned them. I'm awaiting my replacement shoes once Meindl gets them. The bottom line is that Meindl USA provides excellent products and their customer service is outstanding. I'll always be a Meindl customer. My ratings below is a result of previous footwear and I expect my forthcoming shoes will be the same.
Great Shoes. Love the fit and support for my arthritic knees.
Great shoes. Breaking in nicely. Comfortable on first wearing. Shipping was a lot slower than advertised.

At Meindl we know that quality boots are a significant investment. That is why we are so committed to educating our customers on the best methods of care to make sure your boots continue to perform at their peak and last for years to come.
All Meindl Boots come out of the factory treated and ready for you to get out. However, if you want to ensure the boots are in peak condition from the moment you hit the field you can give them a quick treatment with our Meindl Wet Proof and let that sit for 24 hours and then apply Meindl Sport Wax.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT heat Sport Wax before applying. Doing so can cause it to penetrate too deep and impair the leather’s breathability and wearing comfort. DO NOT apply oils or grease on any of our boots. There are two reasons: First, oil and grease products can cause boots to lose strength and stability. Second, oil or grease will migrate throughout the leather which can cause the rand and outsoles to delaminate from the boot.
Quality boots deserve care and attention. Read our full article to learn how to maintain your Meindl boots from beginning to end.
