Good reminder that I should give some tlc to mine before heading up north for a vacation. You can't go wrong with Meind boots.

MEINDL ORTLER
perfect winterboots-made in germany!!!
supa hard & heavy boot!!!

Thank you, Werder! Never had these on the radar and I am currently looking for some nice winter boots. Alex, they look awesome. Not as beautiful as OSBs maybe, but they look like those kinda shoes you put on and don't worry about.

Stop I wear them even in the summer, not like the supermodern hightechfibre boots, but stylish and still with the
right socks not too warm at all….

Need to get a 2nd pair before only fareast made hightechfibre gear is around...or still settle for the old english
bootmaker, but not sure yet

Keep them on and use them....

Found some nice pics of used pairs on rakuten:

I have two pairs of Meindls, as imported by Cabelas. These are what I wear 90% of the time, because almost all of my time out of the house is spent walking up and down grassy hillsides in unpredictable weather! I wouldn't be able to stay upright in my Grensons or cowboy boots. I had a pretty hard time in White's, too; they're intended for standing in mud, not walking on 40° inclines.

My first pair is their 10" insulated Perfekt hunter. Made in Germany. Not a pretty boot, relatively speaking, but I think it has a certain rugged charm. It's also warm down to -20°F (from personal experience), rated to -40°F.

With flash, to show wear:

Those have been Nikwaxed.

I also have their Italian-made Light Hiker. Goretex, same leather, similar sole. Great fit for my wide meat plates. Currently covered in dust from the fields. I can walk down a 45° slope in these without losing my footing. Here they are with my BBs.

Now I feel like I have to post pics in something prettier!

And what do you do for a living?

@Giles:

And what do you do for a living?

Nothing too unusual these days: I work from home, at a desk. I simply have a very demanding and high-energy dog, and the surroundings in which to indulge her!

I also like to get out of the house and hike, regardless of canine input…

Damn, there goes my Goatherd theory…....

Similar to the Meindl are the Limmer boots that are sold in the NE USA. Does anyone know if the Limmer off-the-shelf boots are just rebranded Meindl?

Not exactly just rebranded Meindl, but they are Limmer design/lasts made by Meindl in Bavaria. Apparantly the guys running Limmer and Meindl are cousins
