What size should I choose?

Choose your usual size or, if in doubt, the slightly larger size: that’s Meindl’s advice. Try them on in the afternoon with your hiking socks, leaving about 1 cm of space at the toes. The size guide gives foot length in millimetres for each size.

Do they fit narrow or wide?

Meindl classifies them as a standard fit, neither narrow nor wide.

What kind of outings are they designed for?

Meindl classifies them as category B, for ‘classic’ trekking: long outings and comfortable walking on easy alpine terrain, including rough paths. Meindl only mentions compatibility with crampons from category BC upwards (lightweight crampons).

Are they really waterproof?

Yes: the GORE-TEX lining is waterproof and breathable. It protects the foot on wet trails and in the rain, but is not designed for immersion.

How should I care for these shoes?

After each outing, brush off dirt and clean the shoes with lukewarm water. Do not machine-wash them. Remove the insole to air it, then leave everything to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight and radiators; newspaper inside can help if the lining is wet. To waterproof the leather and textile parts, Meindl recommends a suitable spray, such as Meindl WetProof, reapplied regularly. It advises against oils and grease, which can weaken the shoe.

Yes, provided the upper is in good condition. Meindl says all its hiking, trekking and mountain boots can be resoled by a cobbler or through a Meindl retailer. Any repair voids the GORE-TEX “Guaranteed to keep you dry” guarantee.

What is variofix® lacing?

It’s Meindl’s heel-lacing system: a free-moving strap, the ‘speed wire’, tightens evenly around the heel as you lace up, keeping it in place.

What are the delivery times for this product?

All orders placed by midnight are prepared the next day. In France, orders placed before 1 pm (excluding weekends) with Chronopost 24h are dispatched the same day. Delivery then depends on the carrier and takes 1 to 4 days in France. Delivery times for Europe and the rest of the world vary by destination.

Can I return the item if the size doesn't fit?

Yes, absolutely. You have 30 days to return it and get a refund or an exchange. Return shipping is free. The item must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have its original tag.

Who did we design them for?

For hikers heading out for several days with a loaded pack: technical mid-mountain trails, rocky sections and long stages.

How waterproof is it?

Waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX® lining keeps feet dry in the rain and on wet sections.

How much support?

The high-cut upper supports the ankle under load. Meindl’s variofix® lacing tightens evenly around the heel; on descents, tighten the ankle area securely.

What about grip?

Meindl Multigrip® 3 Alpin Light outsole by Vibram®: a pronounced lug pattern for grip on rocky and wet sections.

Ideal for

Hiking

The trekking shoe that stays securely in place

A heavy pack, a steepening trail, rocky sections to cross. On a multi-day trek, your ankles work constantly, and fatigue often starts there.

This high-cut boot wraps around the ankle and supports it when the ground gets uneven. Its waterproof lining protects the foot from rain, its lacing tightens evenly around the heel, and its pronounced lugs grip rocky sections.

Because on a trek, it all starts with a foot that stays in place.
