Comfort Fit® Light Hiker

3rd pair in 15yrs

Best overall balance of comfort, durability, and price that I've ever found in footwear in 40yrs. I'm hard on footwear. These are my everyday work shoe/boot that also endure weekly 2 mile trail hikes, and bi-yearly extended wilderness hikes. I buy a new pair once they're no longer water-proof for wilderness treks, which seems to average every 5 years for me, but continue wearing the old ones another couple years for work & dry hikes. They usually give out at the seams just behind my pinky toe, as i have wide feet... which is one reason I used to struggle finding comfortable shoes/boots. The EE size option in Meindl's lineup is much appreciated. I never get more than 2 years out of hiking boots with other brands, and the only ones that could possibly outlast these Meindls tend to be too stiff to be comfortable, unless I want to injure my feet breaking them in. Not these. Perfect fit right out of the box. If Meindl ever discontinued this boot, I'd hope to know in advance so I could purchase 3 pairs. Thanks, Meindl.
