meindl wood walker boots any good ?.

[spuddog0507]

Hi all looking for a new pair of boots and had my eye on a pair of meindl wood walkers for a while now, i have read both good and bad reports about them more good than bad but one or two reports have been bad, like boots apart after a few months , i do have a pair of meindl dovre walking/shooting boots and cant really fault them except that they are not the warmest boots i have had, has anyone had bad expieriance with these boots.

That's what I wear, very comfortable, great grip in the tree, the rubber protector around the base of the boot is a great idea to keep feet dry in wet grass etc but this seems to come unstuck when climbing in under 6 months I find. Still wearable but still a shame. You'll probably need to order a size larger than you normally are in other boots. I would probably buy another pair when these give up ?

As a groundie I vote for the Waldlaufers too.  They did indeed feel small out of the box - I thought I was going to have to send them back - but they moulded to my feet in a couple of days and have been very comfy since then.
