You've heard of EDC, meaning everyday carry, the essentials you don't leave home without. Well, these are everyday boots. Think upland, pronghorn, mule deer, tree stand hunting and more. Trail, off-trail, rocky, grassy, timbered, open, dry, wet, snowy - these are your boots. And the fact they deliver on the promise of light weight (only 3 lbs. per pair for the uninsulated version.) adds to their every-day, every-season, every-hunt appeal. You've heard, and felt during long days in the field, that every ounce on your feet is like carrying an extra pound on your back. Meindl takes that to heart. Looking at EuroLights in the box, you don't expect such full-featured boots to be so light. And if they're surprisingly light in your hands, wait 'till you lace them on your feet. Light but tough, they feature 9" waxed full-grain Nubuck leather uppers (and reinforced toe cap) to stand up to use and abuse in the gamut of field conditions. A Gore-Tex® waterproof, breathable liner keeps water out but lets perspiration vapor escape. Flex-Zone Venting, a series of strategically placed vents in the forefoot, allows the boot to breathe and move naturally with your feet. Flex-Zone in the Achilles areas enhances your natural stepping motion while a high-performance polyurethane midsole and Air Active insoles provides cushioning and support. And you'll appreciate the over-sized gusset that opens wide for easy on and off; no more struggling to pull them on at the start or kick them off at the end of the day. The Meindl Duo-DUR III Sole, with aggressive multi-directional lugs, provides traction and stable footing on a variety of terrain types. Every day, every man, every woman - these are your boots. Also available in an Insulated and women's model. Available in an Insulated and women's model. Made In Europe.
"Meindl EuroLight Hunter Uninsulated will be your new everyday boots. Noticeably light, they're my first choice for all-season hunting from dusty sunflower fields to knee deep snow. These boots feel broken in the moment I tried them on."
Great boots !!!
These are super comfortable and the quality of the product is superior!
I have owned 4 pair of the old-style Ultralight Hunter boots. I live in Montana. I hunt and hike constantly as I'm retired.
I purchased the Uninsulated Ultralight Hunter boots in size 12 EE about six weeks ago. There are good and bad points to these boots. The first thing I noticed out of the box is how stiff and rigid these boots are. After putting a number of miles on them that has not changed. If you blister with other new boots, you will certainly blister in these. Although these are lighter than other boots, they are still about 1/2 a pound heavier per boot than the old style. The outsoles are better, as the traction is awesome. The old style were slippery in wet or snowy conditions. They feel good when just standing. However, the stiffness of them will tire your feet faster and the pressure points will irritate your feet. I hope this changes after a while, but we will see. They appear to be a very durable boot and I hope they will break in at some point and be a good boot. If you are looking for a boot to put on right out of the box and hike 10 miles, THESE ARE NOT IT! Take a number of months to break them in. I believe the boots are over priced as well. The old style were $200 per pair and these start at $295. I think $240 would be an acceptable price in my opinion. If Meindl had just put a better lug sole on the old-style Ultralight Hunter boot, they have had perfection. Hunters want comfort over durability.
I hope this review helps.
Hey John, thank you for the feedback and we’re sorry this boot did not meet your expectations. This boot was specifically designed to develop a new handcrafted flexible, lightweight boot, without compromising any features you would demand in a European built Meindl boot. Our Meindl EuroLight Hunter was not built as a direct replacement for the Ultralight Hunter. We pride ourselves in the quality of craftsmanship of our products and the service we provide and apologize for any confusion. One of our boot experts will reach out to you directly to see how we can better service your needs.
excellent all day boot.
I've really liked my previous Meindl boots and although I'm just breaking these in they seem as good if not better than the previous ones.
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.
