The MEINDL ISLAND has already been moving people for 30 years, a living legend, so to speak - always further developed, of course!
That's why this model is also one of the best-selling GORE-TEX® trekking boots in its class!
Numerous awards from trade magazines and top rankings in the relevant tests confirm its quality time and time again! This Meindl trekking classic is made from a robust nubuck leather and therefore also has the characteristic velvety surface. The MFS® system developed by Meindl and further developed in this boot has once again significantly improved the wearing comfort. This Memory Foam System® uses special cushioning foams in the shaft area, which adapt even better to the foot in the ankle area and instep area due to body heat, thus ensuring an even better fit. A flex zone above the heel also ensures optimum mobility of the upper. A soft cuff at the end of the shaft completes the already very good wearing comfort. The boot has a rubber lace protector, a reinforced toe cap, a soft flap end, side clamp hooks and the effective DiGAfix® lacing. The lateral 4-fold stitching gives the boot shape and waist, ensures an optimal fit to the foot and is literally embedded in the leather against wear. The Meindl Multigriff® sole by Vibram® with a hand-applied rubber belt pulled higher at the toe as weather protection offers very good grip and hold, even on difficult ground. GORE-TEX® makes this boot waterproof, breathable and thermally insulating.

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.
