What's so bad about the hydrofells?

 

Its been so long since i had them i can remeber, i think the biggest issue i had was that i'm long in the leg - and the ankle isnt hi enough so i got boots full of saw dust - then my boss bought me a pair of Haix p.ps

 

- once you get over the inital moon boot phase of they are super flexible great for spiking they are infact the dogs dangly bits. i'm not sure how to take people complaining they are too heavy when we lug and saws and logs around all the time - we aint on a trail run here....

I've got a pair of Meindle airstreams - comfortable and excellent for climbing trees with smaller crotches or a lot of branch walking, a pair of Klimba air tirrols - good for spiking and heavy work, and a pair of aquafell experts which are crap except for groundwork. The klimbas are still waterproof despite not being gortex ( I don't think) but after 7 months heavy use and walking through some deep puddles the meindles finally left me with wet feet. If I was re-ordering today I'd probably chose the meindles....just.

For work boots I agree bro, klima airs are real tough but I think the meindls just beat them on comfort.And mine eventually starting leaking too

Hiax all the way,Would wear scarpa's any day tho if they had steel toes caps!

[Taupotreeman]

Drew, do you treat your Meindles with anything? I rubbed some Nikwax type stuff in but didn't do much good. Sure are comfy though, and warm too.

i love my meindls but don't find them very warm?? this weather they're shocking, or i may jus thave bad circulation in my feet..!
