What size should I choose for Meindl footwear?

Go half a size above your usual size for most models, and up to a full size above for the LITEPEAK, OHIO LADY 2 and TONALE LADY: feet swell during exercise. Choose your usual size for the men’s SOLDEN après-ski boot.

Are Meindl boots waterproof?

GTX models have a waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex membrane. To maintain the water repellency of the leather and fabric, apply a Nikwax waterproofing treatment, which can be used on damp footwear. For smooth leather, use Waterproofing Wax.

Which Meindl boot should I choose for a multi-day trek?

Choose a high-cut boot: the LITEPEAK, available for men and women, for trekking with a loaded pack in mid- and high-altitude mountains; or the VAKUUM, with a nubuck leather upper and memory-foam padding, for long Alpine stages. Go at least half a size up.
