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





John, I have the Makalu and find them excellent for the Kiwi high country in winter. They are heavy and stiff. However if you are going to do a lot of sidling and climbing on steep surfaces they do come into their own.

If not then go for something lighter and with more flex in the sole. I would check out the other Meindl boots recomended to you and maybe their Sambar boot. I have not checked the Sambar out so do not know if they are what you are looking for.

I would also check out some of the others recomemded by other forum members but I am very hesitant to buy footwear I can not try on.
