You want shoes for actives, Ja? You’ve got it! The German mountain experts give exceptional grip and comfort for the hostile heights of the German and Austrian Alps and are what Heidi opts for when the goat herding gets a bit gnarly. High quality is evident throughout, as these boots and shoes give excellent traction across the full range of surfaces for serious outdoor performance.
Meindl are one of a dying breed of German shoe manufacturers who have struggled to remain competitive, however the future is bright for Meindl with excellent testimonies to the quality of their shoes. They are keeping a 300 year shoe making tradition alive in the foothills of the German Alps at Kirchanschöring and are a global success story. The quality and craftsmanship of German design and manufacture is felt through every fibre of the shoes, the reason why they are in such high demand with outdoor enthusiasts the world over.
German quality starts with the selection of the highest quality materials and incorporates the latest technological advances, all double stitched together for excellent longevity. The rubber midsole is carefully stitched to the three ply uppers and stitched again for good measure. PVA stiffening in the uppers keeps the shoe in perfect shape after many hours of use, and a shock absorbing sole and padded heel cap keep the most vulnerable areas of the foot well cushioned and protected.
For added comfort, Comfort fit and MFS Vacuum technology seals the boot perfectly to the foot. Seams are kept away from the feet ensuring no abrasion and a perfect fit even under the extreme strains and torque of high altitude cross country trekking. Vacuum memory foam moulds to the foot for added comfort, however fully breathable uppers with active air technology keep air moving within the shoes to keep the feet cool and dry at all times.
Exploring the range further you will find not only performance gear but comfortable everyday shoes. The sandals take the outdoors and bring it inside, offering a super comfort fit for wear in the home and garden. Designed for multi use wear, they offer exceptional support and comfort, all brought together with a secure quick lace system and light tread with sticky rubber soles.
The brogues range bring attention to detail to the next level, offering exquisite style and the highest quality construction for daily wear around town of for the office. The same quality craftsmanship is evident with the highest quality leather, double stitching throughout and a real leather footbed for total comfort. Offering the full brown palette for colour choice and sleek black smart shoes Meindl provide a perfect shoe for performance in the more mundane environments.
Whatever the trekking terrain, your feet should be given the glove treatment, with super soft leather uppers for maximum comfort. However soft leather does not mean poor protection, as Meindl give superior toe protection with the Multigrip® outsole, protecting the feet whilst giving extraordinary grip in the thickest mud.
To many, the thought of donning skis and travelling uphill for fun is somewhat hard to comprehend. However for budding adventurers and hardcore cross country skiers, Meindl cross-country ski boots offer the maximum stiffness for perfect transfer of power to the skis and comfort for long sessions crossing the countryside.
High alpine boots, walking and hiking shoes, trainers and winter boots cover all the bases for the great outdoors and utilise the latest technological advances from the Meindl workshops. They offer style and performance and with the constant innovations, they are destined to carry on the southern German shoe manufacture traditions for many years more years to come.
