Boots…

I imagine the meindls might be quite stiff as I think they are B1 (able to use C1crampons). If that's not a problem they look like a good option.
I'm still waiting for you to!
I am holding off buying any till I try my Meindl Bhutans out again after their go in the washing machine.
If they are still water tight then I'll not bother for a year or two.I've had the BOA Crispi sine just after Christmas. I tried them at the Gamefair back in the summer and decided an 8 was a better fit than the 7 (my shoe size) I wear them every day and I have to say they have been brilliant from day one, equally as comfortable as my Meindl Douvre Extremes. I believe Fortis are bringing out a BOA boot too.
Unless they are an inch too narrow for your feet!
Do you find the laces a faff and that wetness and gunge gets caught between the boot and the gaiter?
Laces I agree with, haven’t had the issue with the gaiters

Been thinking about these lately, third pair in how long?
Would you say they are a wide fit or not?

After 10 years of Lowa goodness I was given a pair of meindls. Very comfy however heavy and the lace eyelet are sharp buggers. They need a lot of looking after and leak for fun.
Think I am going to look at altberg, dedito or go back to lowa again

I'm on my 2nd pair of Altberg Warriors. I like a military style boot and use them for everything from dog walks, hiking and longer hill walks to hunting and range days. First pair lasted me 8 years and would've lasted longer if I'd taken better care of them in their final year when I changed to be a shift worker and got loads of days off for more walking. In the end the leather cracked because I wasn't treating them anywhere near as often as I should have. But they were so comfortable I went right back to the factory for another pair of the exact same boots. I like that they're a local business ad made in England too, I live in the North East and they're just a short drive away in Richmond.
I am a heavy boot user, my previous pair did 2.5 years before the waterproofing gave in. I would was they aren't a wide fit but certainly aren't narrow.
I like the look of these. Who did you purchase through?
Snowleader online, seemed ok service wise….

All you boa users.........how much TLC does the system require?
None. I have used boa systems on my work boots for years, and they aren’t looked after well at all…
How stiff are they? I finally got out this evening in the boarders. The Meindls held up in some fairly swampy conditions so seems like I might be waiting a while before I can justify some new boots.
They’re pretty stiff as they are new but I suspect the will supple up a fair bit.
