Looking for recommendations for Meindl boots.

I was told the Makalu boots are too tough and designed for high alpine hunting with crampons.

Was recommended towards the Island Pro or Island MFS model.

These boots are for hunting in cold and mountainous environments in NZ, Australia etc plus also in Europe such as Norway and Sweden.

I need better boots. The cheap ones I have been using are tight and leak. Were OK for hot country hunting though. My good Scarpas no longer fit.

Second question:

Where to buy?

USA - who stocks them and sells online?

Europe?

I know where to get them in Australia but OS usually 40 to 60% of the price.
