In a heart beat if it's my size.
-
They're my size too, think I'll snag them.
-

In my Size? Absofreekingtutely!

Meindl are great boots, have hiked all over NYS in mine for 10 yr. and they're still on good shape. BUY EM ! :thumbsup:
-
TOP BOOTS!!!!!!
-
DAMN!!!!!!! YES!!!!!
-
That's the exact style Meindl's I have, and I paid ALOT more the $50. Fantastic boots!
-
HELL YES!!!!!
-
I have a pair just like those but with the Cabelas stamp on them - best boot I have ever owned. That is a heck of a deal!
-
I have the perfect hunters and the perfect hikers. The Most comfortable foot wear I own !!!

Same here.
-
If they are size 15 I'll take them!!
-
Yep
-
As long as the owner didn't have "jungle rot" while wearing them......
-
Heck, YES!! Looks like the "Borneo-model" to me. Very good boots. Generations of boyscouts over here can`t be wrong. :thumbsup:
Hint: Meindl is crafting a rather wide last - not for the very narrow feet.
-
Great boots. Wore a pair like that six seasons of elk hunting. Great support and waterproof. Feet always felt good as long as I changed socks midday
-
Got 'em!
-
I had a pair of high end meindles for two seasons and honestly I loved them for the first couple months then they started leaking and after the end of the second year they were retired as work boots. but after that I bought the highest end lowa and same thing as far as waterproofing, the lowas structure and sole were a bit better but they should be for the buck. I even use revivex before every hunt. and still cant keep my feet dry. so my opinion. for fifty bucks and lightly used you probably couldn't do any better. and I hope many years of use for you.
-
Yeah, you could do a whole lot worse for $50, but probably not any better.
-
Maybe. If they have been broken in and have molded to somebody else's feet, probably not. I have taken a couple pair of slightly used boots that my son outgrew, and they just did not fit me well even though they were my size.
-
They really were a little more boot than I like. Very tough but stiff and uncomfortable. Everybody's feet are different as is the terrain being hunted so you will never get total agreement on boots.
-
Awesome boots. I wore mine for 12 days in Alaska, feet were never cold or wet.
-
Thanks for all the feedback guys - they just arrived in the mail today. Been wearing them for a few hours so far and the feel great. Going to give them a real work out this weekend to see how they treat my feet.
So now that I have them, what do you all treat them with to extend their life and keep them as waterproof as possible? Mink oil, snow seal....??
-
I bought their own brand of waterproofing. I'm pretty sure you can't use anything with silicone. Go on their website and see what they recommend, but a good product is a bees wax paste, no silicone.
-
I have tried them on as I have heard good things from friends (especially the pre Cabelas boots).
Unfortunately they don't make boots for average size fellas like me...oh well, back to Russel.

I just paid $200 at cabelas for a pair and can say they are VERY comfy (hard to fit wide feet) lots of room and thinking of buying a 2nd pair (to hold on to )The Most comfortable foot wear I own !!! I agree!
