Just purchased my second pair of these boots, while evaluating their fit alongside similar boots from Zamberlan and Schnee's. For my feet, these were the best-fitting pair of the bunch and I was happy to return the others. While not as elegant as the Italian boots, the fit and finish are still top notch. I appreciate and trust the ruggedness of these boots; the addition of the rubber rand is a welcome upgrade from the previous version of the boots. And the Primaloft insulation is sufficient for hunting and work use here in the upper Midwest, nice and warm as long as I'm on the move. Thanks Meindl!

I don't typically write reviews but had to on this one. This was my first try on Meindls. My first experience started out a little bumpy as I needed to return another model of Meindl boots that just didn't suit my feet. Unfortunately, I had worn them hunting a couple of times only to discover that there was an ongoing issue. Sometimes a particular model of boot just doesn't suit you even though they are very high quality boots. I was fearing my first Meindl outing was going to be a bust but took a shot at reaching out to customer service even though I had worn them in the field. The Meindl customer service team was beyond amazing and reached right back out to me directly via phone to take care of it. We exchanged for the Comfort Fit Hunter 400 boot. Wow, what a difference for me. I can honestly say these are the most comfortable, stable and sturdy pair of hunting boots that I've owned. And I've owned a lot of them. Thanks, Meindl! (particular thanks to Dan who was incredibly helpful and proactive in the process of getting me into the right boots...)
