Top Quality
Why Meindl shoes?Because I've been wearing my Meindl hiking boots for 25 years now, and they've just been repaired by Meindl for the second time. The repair was once again carried out to my complete satisfaction, and I hope my boots and I have many more years of enjoyment ahead of us. The service team is incredibly friendly and helped me super quickly in the recent case where the heel lining had torn. Now we can finally go on our winter vacation together. For those wondering why I don't just buy new ones, let me say that Meindl quality is fantastic if you take care of your shoes, and the repair option makes them very sustainable.I can highly recommend Meindl :-)

Dont buy
Dont buy ! This is really low quality.I bought the shots (Sienna) in Friluftland in Copenhagen …..they claim that the reason for the error in the shoe is the Way i walk…..come on guys. The shoes is only 11 months and have been used once per week and only for shorter walks. Btw the Price was close to 2000 dkk.

Avoid this scamming shoe company. Buy a reputable boot from a store
This shoe business does NOT sell in stores where you can try on your expensive hiking boots and ensure they fit. I assume they do this to save on distribution costs and increase their margins/profits.This presents the customer with a problem. The only solution is to buy 3-4 boots to try on different sizes and widths.This is risky in terms of returns. So Meindl go to great lengths to tell you that, and I quote, purchase is "risk free."They go on to state:"Experience the unmatched comfort, quality and perfect fit that Meindl is known for. Order today risk free with free & easy returns. If the boots do not meet your expectations, simply send them back - no questions asked.Your satisfaction is our priority, and we are here to ensure that your Meindl experience is nothing short of exceptional. So go ahead, take that first step towards comfort - we have you covered every step of the way."First, wear the socks and insoles you plan to wear on the trail and lace up your boots snuggly, but not uncomfortably tight. Check to make sure the tongue and gussets are straight and snug against your feet, then walk around indoors for a while. When walking indoors, make sure there is no pinching, binding, your heel stays put and your toes are not hitting the front of the boot. If you have concerns about the fit of your boots, please email or call us and we will help determine if the fit is right for you."This is all a lie and a total con.I tried on 4 boots. 3 were an immediate no. Following THEIR instructions to only wear inside and to walk around a bit, the boot that was promising I wore inside for 7-8 minutes on my hardwood floors. The sole got dusty. When I sent back, they charged my $50 "restocking fee" after online promises that I could buy risk free.This was a lie. There was a huge risk and I was the one that had to pay for their shady business practices.They are trading off a name that they bought and are rinsing for $$$.Go to a shoe store or REI and try boots on - and forget these cheats and con artists.
