Meindl Softline Ultra GTX (2012)

£150.00

These have the feel of a serious boot, with a stiff chassis underfoot that provides stability and support, particularly over rougher ground. This becomes useful on longer walks too, because feet don’t tire as quickly as with softer-flexing boots. There is a decent enough ‘rocker’ in the sole that provides a pleasant walking action on harder ground. Although made from ...

Meindl Himalaya MFS 2011

£230.00

The Meindl Himalaya has been around for a few years now, and it has always offered excellent performance for really tough mountain days when you are up against scree and snow for long periods. The upper is leather with a Gore-Tex waterproof lining, but to further protect the foot you also get a full rubber rand to ensure this is ...

Meindl Kansas Lady GTX

A great-looking boot made from tough, nubuck leather. The fit is really supportive – they’ve got a good women’s last that holds the foot in place and a high ankle cuff to protect from knocks and sprains. They’ve also got a great lacing system which uses a locking eyelet so you can get a comfortable fit right across your foot. ...

Meindl Portland XCR

£115.00

Despite being a bit heavier than some shoes, the Portland still manage to get the balance of weight and stiffness just about right. The sole is plenty stiff enough for most uses and there is an excellent amount of heel hold to keep your foot locked in place over uneven ground and when walking downhill. They have great stability under ...

Meindl Air Revolution Lite

£169.00

These Meindl boots fall into the stiffer, more robust category of fabric footwear, attempting to be a viable three-season boot. They have a really stiff sole and they did feel heavy on the foot – a sense exacerbated by their stiffness. The tread pattern has very deep lugs that really improve grip in grimy fields and on hillsides. There is ...

Meindl Respond XCR 2011

£105.00

The Meindl Respond XCR weighs 1004g (pair, size 11); Gore-Tex XCR waterproof lining; mesh upper for max breathability; durable protection around upper; good sole stiffness; good cushioning. But outsole lug pattern is relatively shallow so it’s not ideal for mud and grass slopes.

Meindl Magic Junior Mid 2011

£45.00

The Meindl Magic Junior Mid is a well-proven boot costing £5 more this year, but it retains all its great features. There is good stiffness in the sole and upper to protect the growing younger foot. A rubber rand at the toe should increase the durability of the stiffened toe box. Underfoot there is a reasonably grippy lug pattern for ...

Meindl Kansas GTX 2011

£150.00

The Meindl Kansas GTX was new for 2010 and it still looks pretty good today. The boot has a leather upper that is virtually stitch-free, so durability should be pretty good even on rocky ground. A rubber rand around the toe and forefoot adds a little extra protection for rockier ground too. The upper offers good support for the foot, ...

Meindl Burma Pro MFS 2011

£180.00

The Meindl Burma Pro MFS features nubuck leather; Gore-Tex waterproof lining; memory foam; rubber rand for durability; excellent sole unit for general hill-walking; proven performance and frequent Trail’s ‘Best in Test’ winner. But its weight of 1948g (pair, size 11) is just too heavy by modern standards; the price is too high compared with other options that provide most of ...

Meindl Matterhorn Extreme 2010

£265.00

The Meindl Matterhorn Extreme retains the GSB crampon mounting system that was originally developed by Grivel and Scarpa, and this allows the dedicated GSB crampons to be very easily fitted to the boot. Normal crampons can also be fitted though. The Matterhorn has a very high ankle cuff, which makes this more of a mountaineering boot that a winter walking ...

Meindl Alpine Trek 2010

£210.00

As the name suggests the Meindl Alpine Trek is an excellent boot for Alpine trekking. It has a relatively lightweight upper that is made from synthetic materials, which also gives it a modern, stylish appearance. There is a waterproof lining inside the upper as well as a stretch ankle cuff so you get an ankle-hugging fit but with less restriction ...

Meindl Borneo Pro MFS

£165.00

A luxurious boot, the Borneo Pro MFS has great leather padding on the inside, right up to the memory foam ankle cuffs. Stiff soles and heel section help to give good support over uneven terrain and the Vibram soles aid confidence with good levels of grip, although they did clog a little on some particularly sticky Cornish mud. The rubber ...

Meindl Respond XCR

£100.00

A great compromise between weight, stiffness and comfort makes these ideal for all types of walking. The initial comfort is good and improves with a wear or two; and the lacing seems to work well in conjunction with the leather ribs and the well-shaped heel to hold the foot nicely in place. A Gore-Tex XCR liner keeps puddles and dew ...

Meindl Alta Via 2010

£205.00

Any boot can be used for tackling scrambling and via ferrata routes, however some boots make the challenge easier. But if you are in no rush to push your limits to the max then a well-built general mountain walking and scrambling boot is ideal. The Meindl Alta Via fills this brief perfectly, thanks to its leather upper, rubber rand and ...

Meindl Kansas GTX 2010

£136.00

The Meindl Kansas GTX is a new boot, and what is instantly attractive is the spec you get for the price. For £136 you are getting a leather upper that is free from too many panels and lines of stitching to fray. There is also a rubber toe rand for extra durability. The upper has good support for the foot, ...

The Meindl Burma Pro MFS is very popular and well-proven, thanks to the durable design and out-of-the-box comfort that have made it a Trail favourite for many years. You get a good leather upper with minimal stitching to ensure longevity, with a Gore-Tex waterproof lining to keep feet dry. Inside a memory foam lining ensures extremely high levels of comfort ...

Meindl Magic Junior Mid 2010

£40.00

The Meindl Magic Junior Mid feels quite substantial and has good stiffness throughout to provide support and protection on rough terrain. Rubber at the toe box and heel add a little extra durability too. Underfoot there is a reasonably grippy lug pattern for mud. But this has quite a low ankle cuff, so it’s not ideal for rough terrain. Some ...

Meindl Softline Lady Ultra

£145.00

Will especially suit women with wider feet. Plenty of padding makes them feel snug and comfortable straight from the box, but will make them hot in really warm weather. Well-placed locking eyelets help maintain a really good fit and keep heels in place, even on steep descents. Out in the hills they perform well, with reinforcement at the toe and ...

Meindl Matterhorn Extreme 2009

£260.00

The GSB crampon mounting system is no longer provided in the Scarpa Manta, but it does remain on the Meindl Matterhorn Extreme. This system appeared in 2008 on this 4-season boot and it allows dedicated crampons to slot into the front of the boot while a tail clip locks the rear of the crampon in place. This makes crampon fitting ...

Meindl Burma Lady Pro MFS

£175.00

Plenty of padding makes these boots feel initially secure and comfortable, and because they incorporate Meindl’s Memory Foam System, should give you a better fit the more you wear them. Although fairly narrow, a good lacing system means you can get a decent fit. The ankle cuffs are high but soft, making them versatile enough for both high and mid-level ...

Meindl Emotion XCR

£100.00

Been around for a while now but still a top performer courtesy of an excellent Kevlar midsole that allows exactly the right amount of flex, and a very supportive suede and fabric upper. Good lacing, including the Meindl Variofix system, should enable a snug fit on most feet. Not as much padding as some so can feel a little harsh ...

Meindl Softline Ultra GTX

£135.00

The Softline has a pretty standard fit and is a sturdy boot. Less padding than most, so it takes a little more wearing-in than some. It’s quite tall at the ankle and therefore one of the more supportive boots tested. And the midsole is about the stiffest on test, giving plenty of protection on really rough ground. The Gore-Tex lining ...
