Meindl Burma Pro MFS

What phenomenal customer service! Approximately 10 years ago I bought a pair of Meindl boots. Although I don’t do a great deal of walking they have always proved to be very comfortable and sturdy. After a recent walk, I noticed that the sole on both boots was starting to break down. I contacted the UK agents, and they agreed to have a look at them for me. A couple of days later, I had an e-mail pointing out that the boots were 10 years old however, they offered to send them back to the manufacturers for a resole which would cost me £51.38. I have just had the boots returned to me, complete with new laces and shiny new soles. If you are in the market for a good quality boot that is going to last a long time and also want the comfort that should something go wrong the manufacturers will deal with the problem I cannot recommend Meindl high enough.

I'm on my second pair of these all purpose hill walking & trekking boots. Comfortable, waterproof & supportive over rough terrain. Fit like a glove and don't feel the weight they are. Superb lacing system means your feet feel as good at the end of the day as they did in the morning. No other boot I've owned has been so satisfactory. Recommended without hesitation.

It's a tough decision choosing boots. You'll be spending a lot of time with them and they can cause you a lot of agony if they're not right. I've now got the Meindl Burma boots and am very happy. They are wide enough for my short, wide feet and were comfortable from the first step, which is partly because of the memoryfoam around the ankle. They are leather, but the leather is so soft they didn't need breaking in at all, which is a real bonus. The only downside, I would say, is that they do feel quite heavy, but then they never promised to be a lightweight boot.

After four years of flawless performance I can't knock these boots. Mine are now battered and bruised but are still as comfortable and watertight as the day I brought them. The vibram sole is very hard waring and as new

I'v realy battered my burma pros and they have stood up to everything from streams to snow to marsh to mud etc....the fit is realy good too...if i had to pick a fault they are a little heavy but that would be picky...as they dont feel bulky! and here hoping they will do just as good on kilimanaro!!

These are the best boots i have had. I actually have the Borneo version without the gore tex lining. Reason being i have size 15 feet and Meindl as far as i know are the only boot company to make boots like this in my size. They are superb. The comfort is excellent as is the support.

Best boots I've had. Bought 6 months ago. Great ankle support. Meindl Sportwax good for the uppers and keeps the water out. MFS is an excellent system - tip is to wear them for 10 minutes and then retighten the laces. Chuffed to bits.

These are the best general purpose walking boots I have ever had irrespective of price. Although actually quite heavy they don't feel it as the fit is so good. Equally at home and comfortable on well defined tracks and rough scrambling. When these eventually wear-out it will take a lot to make me look elsewhere for a replacement.
