I stopped using boots for hiking and backpacking over twenty years ago. But, I'm getting tired of the dust in my trail shoes and sometimes want more support for my right foot. And, more protection when going cross-country. I've used these boots twice on day hikes about 10 miles each. They fit very well, at the half-size below my normal size. And, they are comfortable. I'll be trying them out more, especially on rainy days, muddy trails and when going over rocky paths. They are, of course, heavier than trail shoes.
Fit great with no real break in time.
I love them . With most footwear on myself it’s always tight when they are new
I only have about 10 miles on these, but I am very impressed/happy with them so far. My old hikers were Crispi Thors, so my comparison is against them. They have been my all time favorite boots, so these have a lot to live up to.
They are a little heavier than the thors, and slightly less stiff. This is not a bad thing because I can feel sticks through the sole, which is great when I’m hunting and don’t want to snap twigs when I step down.
I wore these in some absolutely soaking wet grass/ rain for several miles and had zero water intrusion. These are quieter than the Thors. They always squeaked and these do not.
I had to go a full size down from my usual footwear size. I also have some vakuum hunters and going down a half size, as recommended, did not fit tight enough. So a full size was the way to go, for me.
The traction of these boots is amazing. It’s s like I’m glued to the terrain. Plenty of room in the toe box on steep descent. Overall great boots and if they hold up like my old crispis, I will be absolutely tickled.
Meindl has the best boot on the planet! I just bought the 7th or 8th pair I have owned. Fit is perfect right out of the box (read their sizing guide). Any boot that can survive 60-80 miles in the AZ desert has to be tough! Great ankle support, waterproof and built for the toughest terrain you can find!
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.
