I was very skeptical about paying this much for any kind of boots but I am so glad I went out on a limb and took the chance!!! They are the best feeling boot I've ever had on my feet. I'm older and need a comfortable, supportive boot that will not make my feet hurt due to me having plantar fasciitis. This boot fulfills all my needs and concerns. Thank you Meindl for the quality boot!!

These are the best boots I’ve ever owned. I’ve almost worn out my second pair. I hike around 500-1000 miles a year. Can’t wait to buy my third pair - all shiny and new. I’m a shed hunter so all of my hiking is off trail - through the swamps, the slush, the snow, the mud, the streams, etc. I’ve worn these ice fishing right through to the summer. They’ve been totally waterproof in ankle deep mud and freezing water even when they are years old. These are the boots in which all other boots are judged.

These boots are going to keep my feet dry when I push my friend in his boat out from the bank into the deeper water and jump in at the bow from the shallows. I ordered size 12 which is a half size smaller than my foot measurement. These boots measure about 12 inches high to the top and about 10.5 inches high to the top of the gusseted tongue, which will keep water out of the boot. It is hard to find a gusseted tongue this high. I followed Meindl's sizing instructions and they fit perfectly. I followed the break in and care instructions also. My second pair of Meidl boots and I can't recommend them enough. Customer service is fantastic too!
