Have just bought a pair of Airstreams (online, as there's nowhere to try different boots on anywhere nearby). I currently have 2 other pairs of Meindl's (Antartkis? and another similar) both size 45, so expected the 45 Airstreams to fit. They dont. TOO SMALL

 

Any other 'remote purchasers' BEWARE.

Mine were tight when i bought them. I got them like that on purpose as i've found with nearly all boots the padding inside squashes and they end up too big and uncomfortable. After wearing them for a few days they losened up and now they still fit perfectly after well over a year of use.

I did the same mate, I'm a 45 in boots usually but the airstream were to small, I got the 46 and the are bang on, best boots ever in my opinion!! I sold my 45 on here and didn't loose to much.

Meindl used to be known for being a wide boot. Not sure if they are now. I still wear a Meindl general purpose walking boot every day.

 

Very good footwear maker IMHO.

i bought mine at size 9, i was a size 10 in haix blue ridge but needed 2 pairs of thick socks to fill them after a while, wearing thick socks only squashes the padding out further, i wear a thin pair of socks everyday with my airstreams, even in winter, thick socks make it too tight and i get cold feet from bad circulation then!

 

the inners are memory foam, so will shape over time, mine are awesome now!
