A durable, long-wearing everyday outdoor boot for active outdoor people who want Meindl's build quality and Gore-Tex® waterproofing in a versatile, naturally moving boot built to handle years of daily trail, town, and all-purpose outdoor use.
The EuroLight Hiker is Meindl's everyday outdoor boot for people who want something built to last. Not a technical boot. Not a trail racer. A well-made, dependable, comfortable outdoor boot that holds up through the kind of everyday use, trails, errands, weekend walks, yard work, anything outdoors, that most boots aren't really designed for.
The waxed full grain nubuck leather upper is the foundation of what makes the EuroLight Hiker last. Tougher than standard nubuck, it handles regular wear and variable weather without breaking down, building a patina of character over years of use instead of just looking worn out. The Duo-DUR III sole provides durable, reliable grip across the diverse surfaces of everyday outdoor use, not aggressive enough to feel out of place on a sidewalk, not passive enough to let you down on a trail.
Flex channels in the sole allow for more natural foot movement than a conventional hiking boot outsole, reducing the stiff, flat feel that makes some outdoor boots tiring over long everyday wear. The A/B light flex rating adds to the natural, low-fatigue character of the boot, and Gore-Tex® waterproof lining ensures your feet stay dry across the wet conditions that four-season everyday outdoor use reliably involves.
At 7.5 inches tall on a standard last with an Air Active insole, and handcrafted in Italy to Meindl's exacting standards, the EuroLight Hiker is the everyday boot that earns its place by simply being reliable, comfortable, and built to last. The best gear is the kind that just works and this does.
Also available in a Hunter style, Uninsulated (EuroLight Hunter Uninsulated) and Insulated (EuroLight Hunter 300).
