Meindl boots

[Sako76]

I have a pair of Alaskans from Cabela's going on 8 years, best boot I ever had. I bird hunt 40+ days a year, elk and deer out west, PA, NY and NJ deer, can't beat them!

I have the old Cabelas Denali version and the Meindl USA Vakuum Hunters. The Vakuums seem to be made much better. I have put a couple of seasons on them and love them.

I feel the Meindls are a little heavy and clunky compared to high quality boots.

The comfort fit hunters are neither of those

I have the perfect hunters and hikers. most comfortable foot wear I have!

Just tried a pair of Vakuum's and kept them. This after trying 5 other boots, like Crispi's and Solomon's.
Miendl's run a little bigger and they were the most comfortable for me.

The Vacuums are pretty stiff, like the Crispi Nevada's, almost as stiff as the Colorado's. They have a full rubber rand which I like also. Overall, I quality boot for sure.

The Vakuums seem like a really sweet boot. I only have 10 or so miles on mine but love them. Stiffer than what I am used to but really comfortable. I can get my heel locked in tight and the fit is great for my foot

I have the Meindl Comfort Fit Hikers and they are nice boots with a wider toe box then the Vakuum hikers. They do run a little big and I didn't like the cork insoles they come with because they have cushioning for the heel but nothing on the forefoot. I'm still messing with trying different insoles in mine.

No straight from meindlusa.com

Worth noting; of the five or so boots I tested last year, the Mendels direct from Mendel or by far the softest and most flexible. I have some trail runners that are not as Flexi as these.

Which is exactly what I didn’t want in a boot.

Miendl comfort fit hunters are stiffer than the comfort fit hikers. Where I live in Pa. it has some really steep terrain, cliffs in some areas. I have been hiking up and down some of these hills in the Miendl hikers and agree they my be a little to flexible for really rough terrin.
