The 9-inch Alpine Pro 200 is the pinnacle of performance and craftsmanship in the world of mountain boots. Born from the spirit of the Alps, each component and stitch embody our unwavering commitment to excellence. Crafted for the boldest alpine adventures, this mountain boot stands as our most technologically advanced offering yet. Featuring Meindl's exclusive Air Revolution® technology, which is an ingenious climate-controlled system that with every step allows warm air to leave the boot while letting in cool air to efficiently ventilate and comfort your feet. But that's just the beginning, with a waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex® liner and 200 grams of Gore Duratherm insulation working in concert with Air Revolution® these boots are built to stand the rain, snow, and cold, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable even in the harshest environments and varying temperatures. our Air-Active insole complements this, providing cushioned support while actively managing moisture, preventing hotspots and soreness for mile after mile. The Alpine Pro 200 is rated a C on our Flex-Use Rating System, meaning they are made for high country with challenging terrain including rocks, scree and glaciers, the type of terrain you're likely to encounter in extreme alpine areas. They also feature Vibram® Multigrain 3 Alpine outsoles for traction and stability on just that type of terrain. Attention to detail is paramount, which is why we've incorporated Meindl's exclusive DiGAfix® lacing system and ball-bearing eyelets. This ensures a secure, customized fit, locking your feet in place while allowing for easy adjustment when needed. With the Meindl Alpine Pro 200 mountain boot, there are no compromises. Conquer your alpine pursuits with confidence, one step at a time. Made in Slovenia.
I really like this boot so far, with one minor exception. I found the sizing to be smaller than my other Meindls (5 other pairs are all the same size) and I had to return them for a half size bigger. I'm still on the fence about the tongue. It is removable/replaceable and is velcroed into place. I found the velcro on the end of the insert (near the base of my toes) fairly uncomfortable at first, but it is getting better as the boot is getting broken in. I do like that it can be removed so you can place it where it is most comfortable. I think I would prefer the tongue insert to be permanent, I think it would ultimately be more comfortable without the bump the velcro creates. I was unaware about that feature of the boot, it was not in any descriptions I read before purchasing. I've only had this boot a few weeks so far and have not really put it to the test in steep country, so I am withholding judgement and may revise this review later after the boot is truly broken in. But it is a quality boot and well made, as Meindls are known to be.
Very comfortable boot, pretty stiff at first. broke in fairly quickly though, got about 15 miles on the boots so far, holding up very well and breaking in very nice.
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.
