With this Meindl Winter trekking and hunting shoe the winter is boundless! For extreme requirements, from snowshoes to use in real cold poles. Only the best materials exist here!
Completely lined or insulated against cold and moisture with GORE-TEX® + 400g Thinsulate®. The shoe has a rubber cap in the toe area for increased abrasion and shock protection, a reinforced toe cap and a soft flap end. The smooth-running lacing with lateral clamping hook provides for hold and an effective 2-zone lacing. The lateral 4-fold seam gives the shoe shape and waist, ensures an optimal adaptation to the foot and is really let into the leather against wear. A soft cuff at the shaft end completes the very good wearing comfort. A bending zone above the heel ensures optimum mobility of the shaft. Meindl Multigriff® sole by Vibram® Ice Trek with hand-wound rubber belt and PU soft step wedge. This newly developed all-season sole with special rubber compound is particularly slip-resistant and controlled on ice, but also impresses with excellent abrasion on classic outdoor terrain.
(*)Even temperatures down to -30 degrees are no problem for this shoe. This guideline value always depends on the intensity of movement, circulation, physical constitution and suitable socks.
Our tip:
Please keep in mind that these boots can be "slightly smaller" due to the lining. On our site Shoe info you will find some useful tips on how to find the right size for these winter boots.

Top Winter Jagdschuh
Ein super Schuh! Wirklich das Beste was ich bisher getragen habe. Der Schuh hält die Füße auch bei -15°C beim Ansitz (bin Jäger) schön warm und trocken. Außerdem verleiht er dem Fuß - dank seiner Passform mit ordentlicher Seitenführung - eine ordentliche Stabilität in jedem Gelände. Für die Topberatung des Herrn Bader nochmals vielen Dank!

Important! These rules always apply:
When in doubt, the stiffer boot is certainly the better choice, as it offers more possibilities.
If you frequently travel in wet regions or have no opportunity to dry a wet boot overnight during
your tours, you should choose a model with GORE-TEX® lining.

How do I find my correct size...?
Unless otherwise stated, our shoes are listed in English (UK) sizes. Converting sizes can often
cause confusion, so we would like to help you find the right size with our size chart. If in
doubt, we are happy to advise you.
Please also do not fixate too strongly on a particular size. Especially when changing models or
manufacturers, deviations can quickly occur. Your feet also change over time, becoming wider and
longer as the arch reduces.

* Please note: The measurement in cm shown in the table refers to the approximate inner measurement (length of the insole) of the shoe, except for winter boots, see link Winter Boots.
How to measure correctly (see image below):
When measuring, it is recommended to already wear the socks you intend to use inside the shoe or
boot. Stand on a sheet of paper, ideally in the afternoon or evening (when your foot is at its
largest), and mark the tip of your toes (1) and the heel (2)
with a pencil held vertically. Then measure the length of your foot. To this measurement
(3), add 1 cm to 1.5 cm (finger test). This space should be
present at the front of a mountain or trekking boot as a minimum; for lighter shoes such as
Nordic walking shoes, 1 cm to 1.2 cm may also be sufficient.
For safety shoes, a minimum of 1.2 cm to 1.5 cm is recommended.
Then compare this value with our table. The size shown for
your measurement (foot length plus allowance of 1 cm to 1.5 cm) is the
recommended size for your shoe choice. In borderline cases, or if you occasionally wear thicker
socks, always choose half a size larger. Shoes are often bought too small. In terms of width, a
shoe can be stretched slightly or will adapt during the break-in period. However, it cannot be
lengthened.
Here is an example of size selection for a trekking boot:
Your foot length + space at the front (at least 1 cm) = 28.7 cm =
UK 9.5 (recommended size)
Note for children's shoes:
For children's shoes, add approximately 1.2 cm to 1.5 cm to the foot measurement to determine the correct size in the table above. For the children's boot model Meindl POLAR FOX Junior, no addition is necessary, as this model runs slightly larger than standard Meindl children's shoes at the same size, leaving room for thicker socks.
Note for winter boots:
In winter boots especially, it is important to have sufficient room and toe clearance. Boots that
are too tight will cause cold feet quickly.
For winter boots with sheepskin lining such as Meindl GARMISCH PRO GTX®, GARMISCH LADY
PRO GTX®, Meindl CORVARA and Meindl CORVARA LADY, add approximately 1.5 cm to your foot
measurement to determine the correct size in the table above, or select your
size according to the examples below.
Examples:
UK size 8 in the table above corresponds to size 42 for the models
Meindl GARMISCH PRO GTX® / GARMISCH LADY PRO GTX®, and likewise to UK size 8
for the model Meindl CORVARA / Meindl CORVARA LADY. This means you may only
need to go slightly larger with these two models to have a little more room for thicker socks.
For the winter trekking boot Meindl ANTARKTIS GTX® with Thinsulate® lining,
going half a size larger than your normal trekking boot size is usually sufficient to allow a
little more toe room for thicker socks.
For the models Meindl NORDKAP PRO GTX® and Meindl KITZBÜHEL, first determine
your size as you would for trekking boots (see "How to measure correctly" above). Then choose
exactly one full size larger to compensate for the construction-related difference and to allow
room for thicker socks.
For example: If you wear UK 9.5 in a Meindl trekking boot, choose UK 10.5 for
the Meindl NORDKAP PRO GTX® and Meindl KITZBÜHEL.
Note for sock size selection:
To determine your sock size, follow the same procedure but without adding any allowance, and
compare your foot length directly with the table above.
