Meindl's first purpose-built trail runner for waterproof trail runners who want Gore-Tex® Invisible Fit technology, Vibram® outsole grip, and over 300 years of German footwear craftsmanship in a fast, lightweight trail running package.
The Eldora GTX Trail Runner marks new ground for Meindl, the brand's first purpose-built trail runner, combining over 300 years of German footwear craftsmanship with the performance demands of fast, technical trail running. The result is a waterproof trail runner that feels like it belongs on your foot and on the trail in equal measure.
Gore-Tex® Invisible Fit is the technology that makes the Eldora different from every other waterproof trail runner on the market. Rather than adding a waterproof bootie inside the shoe, the approach that creates the thick, stiff feeling of conventional waterproof runners, Invisible Fit integrates Gore-Tex® protection directly into the shoe's construction. The result is a waterproof trail runner that feels as natural and lightweight as a non-waterproof shoe, with none of the heat-trapping bulk that runners typically associate with waterproof footwear.
The Vibram® outsole delivers trail running-specific grip, aggressive enough to handle wet rock, technical rooted terrain, and the slick unpredictable surfaces that fast trail running involves, without the stiffness that would compromise the shoe's running feel. At 4.5 inches on a standard last with an Air Active insole and handcrafted in Germany to Meindl's exacting standards, the Eldora GTX Trail Runner brings Meindl's craftsmanship tradition to the trail running category. Fast by design. Waterproof by nature. Built to run.
No intentionally added PFAS chemicals.

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.
