Yup, I am a covert from Meindl. Reckon that the model I have will take an articulated crampon too.
Boots have finally given up - replacements?

I bought some Meindl boots in 2010 for tahr hunting in NZ, as they were the favorite with dudes who did that. They have been good enough and the Gore-Tex linings certainly work - but I wonder about their ultimate reliability.
I went buffalo hunting in our Northern Territory in 2019. My American mate had brought over some Meindls he'd outgrown and gave them to our host, who put them on and walked out in the bush. A few minutes later the outer sole came right off one boot. No worries, Dom said and kept going, a bit lopsidedly. Twenty minutes later the other sole came off, too.
This month I was out deer hunting in very wet weather when the front of one of my Meindl soles came unstuck. I strapped it up with electrical tape and started back towards the car. However, not 10 minutes later, the other sole came off as well.
Though everything wears out eventually, and funny things happen in the Jung-le
, I'm amazed at the Meindls' synchronicity.
