Quality - Comfort - Tradition
For over 300 years, the Meindl family, have produced quality handmade footwear in their factory in Kirchanschöring, Bavaria. They employ more than 200 workers and make in excess of one million pairs of boots a year, exporting some 50% of their boots all around the world. MEINDL is now one of the few footwear manufacturers actually producing quality boots in Germany. This shoemaking tradition is now in its 11th generation, managed by Lars and Lukas Meindl who continue Meindl’s promise to produce high quality footwear. Every pair of boots are hand crafted, so we know you will feel the difference as soon as you try on a pair of Meindl boots. When it comes to heel fit, the best marks have always gone to us. Now, with MFS vacuum, the shape of the foot is even better replicated in the ankle, collar and tongue zones. A memory foam always returns to the intended shape. In line with the new stretch lining, the MFS vacuum foam adjusts even more perfectly to the foot‘s shape. No more seams in the heel lining, hence increased shock-absorption comfort. Workmanship, materials and technology create perfect harmony. LACING SYSTEMS DiGAfix®1 DIGAfix® - the flexible, pressure-free, diagonal fixing – ensures “all-round and more adjustable” lacing. Tightening takes place at the correct point, the hook is higher and protrudes less. DiGAfix®2 The covered stainless-steel wire (Speedwire) runs around the entire ankle to the heel (1). The speedwire is tightened when the boot is laced up and this results in a flexible, pressure free fold which improves the heel fit (2). (3) The top two hooks allow a two-zone lacing system. Footwear shapes/Footwear sizes Large sizes Some people have large feet, others have smaller ones – and it is often a major problem to find suitable footwear. For this reason, we make our most important models from the smallest sizes to the largest sizes. We make our best seller, ISLAND PRO, for example, in sizes 5 to 17, which is a 10cm difference between very small and very large! Last shape The human anatomy is as diverse as our feet: large, small, thick – slender, wide, hollow or “flat”. We use different lasts to cover the greatest possible spectrum. For children, ladies an men in various widths and also a “comfortable form” and the “Relaxed Fit System®”. We thus cover a very wide range. Comfort Fit Even if your feet are broader… there is the comfort last. The fit adapted for healthy feet. With excellent cushioning and a very grippy sole. Plus a Poron® shockabsorber in the heel area. We have a great deal of experience in this area.
