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.

Is the fit narrow or wide?

Meindl classifies it as a ‘normal’ fit: neither narrow nor wide.

Is it really waterproof?

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

Do feet sweat more with a GORE-TEX lining?

Not because of the membrane: feet sweat anyway. According to Meindl, the breathability of the GORE-TEX lining only helps if your socks are breathable and contain no cotton.

What is the upper made of?

It combines suede and mesh, a breathable open-weave fabric. The lining is made of GORE-TEX.

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. Leave them to air-dry away from direct sunlight and radiators; newspaper inside helps if the lining is wet. Meindl recommends regularly renewing the water-repellent treatment on the textile parts with a suitable spray, such as Meindl WetProof.

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.

I wear a size 39 shoe, and I ordered a 39.5 because I wear orthotics. The comfort is exceptional. I did a three-day hike with significant elevation changes and very rocky terrain, walking eight hours a day. I also wore the Rando Light socks, and I had absolutely no problems: no pain, no chafing, no blisters. The cushioning is fabulous, and the comfort is absolute. They're also perfectly waterproof. I'm truly delighted with my purchase and highly recommend this product and the socks.

Very comfortable, perfect width, plenty of room for my toes. I already use this brand for my high-top hiking boots. Never any blisters, it's my go-to brand and shoe. It's very expensive, but it lasts and is comfortable, which is what matters to me; enjoyable hikes.
