Lady Comfort Fit® Meran Light Hiker

Happy so far!

I've only taken these out on a short hike, but so far I'm very pleased with my purchase! They fit well, are comfortable, and feel sturdy and supportive. I normally wear a women's 10 and ordered a size 10 (even though they advised ordering a 9.5), and they fit great - there's just the right amount of room to account for thick socks a little swelling after a long hike.

My new hikers

Hi thank you for the new boots! Appreciate all you did to help. I'll be calling also to speak to someone to extend my thanks.

Quiet Pleased

I haven’t worn these boots on the trail yet, so I can’t speak to long-term performance. That said, I’m posting this review because I searched extensively for a hiking boot with a wide, natural forefoot and solid ankle support, and this was the best option I found. After a four-day backpacking trip, my wide right foot (with a big-toe bunion) developed blisters from the tight fit of my previous boots (Lowa Renegade). As a result, I ordered nine pairs of hiking boots to try - Hanwag, Zamberlan, Asolo, Keen, and Merrell - in hopes of finding a better fit. I’m sharing these details in case they help someone else, as finding boots that accommodate my feet has been very difficult. For reference, I wore the Lowa Renegades in an 8.5 wide. I ordered both the 8 and 8.5 in the Lady Comfort Fit Hiker and ultimately kept the 8.5. The forefoot is wider than the Lowa, and the boot runs slightly longer overall. As an aside, I also wear the Altra Lone Peak trail runners, which offer even more toe room. However, they haven’t proven waterproof as advertised, and I tend to roll my ankle in them on longer hikes - so I don’t think the boot version would meet my needs. I look forward to putting some miles on these Meindls - fingers crossed that I've found a boot I can keep coming back to!
