About Meindl
Meindl has been around for centuries: the family has been registered as shoemakers since 1683, and in 1928 Lukas Meindl established the company in Kirchanschöring, Bavaria. What you’re comparing here are their mountain-ready shoes: hiking boots and, above all, mountaineering boots developed for serious terrain. The brand has put soles to work at high altitude—Meindl mountaineering boots accompanied a Mount Everest expedition in 1978—and its Desert Fox combat boots are also supplied to the British Army. Think rugged construction, ready for long days outdoors, with a focus on grip and stability without the showmanship. No frills, just performance proven in the field. At Solezilla, you can see at a glance which shops carry which lines and sizes, so you can find exactly the pair that suits both your route and your budget.
