Good substitute for Meindl Boots?

[LRNut]

I see Cabelas no longer carries Meindl boots; I love mine and want to get another pair. Due to recent ankle surgery and a T/N joint fusion, I would like a high top boot with a stiff sole and waterproofing. 400 gram insulation would be a plus. What do you guys recommend? I was looking at Kenetrek, but got turned off by the bad reviews (waterproofing sucks, they fall apart, etc.).

What do you guys who pound the backcountry recommend?

Meindls are sold direct here in the U.S. You can buy them directly from Meindl online.
meindlusa.com

I now use Crispi (Nevada) and Lowa's (Tibet GTX). Similar feel/fit to the Meindl's (to me).

I would recommend crispi. I have the hunters.
My duty boots are the meindl army pro that have great support, are goretex waterproof. Soles have been amazing and have not worn down at all in the year I've been wearing them

Thanks guys.

I love the meindl perfekt hunter. Get them from meindlusa.com or the other boot that I've found that feels close is schnees guide

I'm in your boots!!! Lol Loved the Meindls from Cabelas So I'm watching this also. Need to get something now and get them broke in. Was at a Bass Pro this morning and not much to choose from.

I order directly from mendle last year for my Montana hunt. The wife got some too. Great boots

Thanks

Just looked them up on there web site. Meindl Comfort Fit 400. 325.00. If there as good as my last pair that's the boot for me. 4 pack in mule deer hunt on foot and no problems or blisters!!!

What size do you need? I've got a pair of the exact boots you're looking for. They are size 9 and were used on a single mountain lion hunt.

Too small. I have to check today, but I know it's not a 9. Thanks Though!!!!!

I have also been a MeindI fan for a long time and had several pair. I have been using Zamberlan for several years now and not one complaint with them at all.

Just checked…. 11 D on my older pair. Did you not like them for some reason?
