You will not be disappointed by these. They are bulletproof and while rugged still very comfortable just like Meindl always does. The ankle support was key walking through the uneven terrain up in the Yukon and my feet never got wet as long as I kept the water below the top of the boot.

I only had a few weeks to prepare for this moose hunt and did not have any boots on hand that would hold up to the Yukon. I reached Todd ant Meindl USA and was blown away. He immediately recommended these boots and walked me through every detail of breaking them in. I had foot surgery the year prior and some nerve damage in my foot so I was nervous about arch support and comfort, but he reassured me. The cork bedding will take care of me which it did! He suggested some mesh inserts in the event there’s a little extra room, which I did use and also suggested both the long and short MT Jagd heavyweight merino wool socks. The longer ones seem to have a little more meat to them so he suggested try both and go with what feels best inside the boot to avoid slipping. This was extremely helpful. Their customer service is outstanding. The boots worked awesome. A few days it got warm up there so sweat became a bit of a factor. I slipped off my boots while we called and the socks and boots dried out fast. My feet never got wet going through the muck and bogs up there and the ankle support is outstanding. A few times with any other boot I would’ve easily broken my ankle, but these kept everything…
