Great shoes. This time, Varuste delivered by far the best price-quality compared to other online stores. Paid with credit card. Reliable delivery. Walk for about 1 hour every day through dunes, forest and on the beach. Third pair of Meindl's in 30 years. I have had my previous pair resoled and will last for years. This new pair was broken in last week. The heels of the Vibram soles have a new shape: they are already slightly 'beveled' in the direction of walking, which means that it will probably take longer before (normal) wear occurs again.

Great boots that are comfortable from new, relatively light weight but still supportive and with good grip. Not ideal for sidling in really mountainous terrain but will get you through most stuff and their flexible sole is a plus for quiet stalking in the forest. Over the last 20 years I have worn out a number of pairs of these Meindl boots covering hundreds of kilometres hunting in the North Island of New Zealand. They used to be available in New Zealand as the "Meindl Sambar" and it is great to be able to still get them - now from Finland!

Excellent shoes and excellent delivery.

Sturdy and well-fitting shoes. Great grip on the bottom and the shoes hold their own on pebbles and rocks. For walking the dog on footpaths
a bit too sturdy base, at least when new. In my own use, it is also used as a general shoe for rainy Sunday walks and is also suitable for that purpose.
Easy to maintain by waxing.

Great shoes, with these you didn't have to worry on the wet rocks and stones of Karhunkierros about whether the shoe would fit, or whether the socks would get wet on the muddy paths and wet toes, they stayed dry. I was able to focus on the matter itself and the scenery!

Excellent quality and very comfortable. Walked 30 km in the first 3 days with absolutely no blisters. Looking forward to my next Camino de Santiago.

These are my other pairs of boots. The first ones lasted for almost eight years, and the only reason I had to buy new ones was due to the sole molding.
The shoes are incredibly comfortable to wear, completely waterproof and comfortable to walk both out in the terrain and on paths.
It is worth mentioning that they are not wide, but quite narrow so if you have wide feet, these are not for you.
They are also not hot, but if you want them when it is snowing and cold, extra socks are recommended, and thus a larger size than normal. The size corresponds to your regular foot, not a foot with extra socks.
This is an incredibly good allaround boot for a great price!

Fast delivery, at a reasonable price. Had to change from my normal size 8.5 to 9, and since the return shipping is paid by the buyer, the price was slightly higher than expected. Slightly slim fit, so not something for you with wide feet. Sturdy boot, with slightly angular hooks, which easily hooks when lacing. Personally, I prefer my old Timberland - in fact.

Probably the best and most versatile hiking boots out there. Work great for most conditions and have a clean and classic look which works well in the city as well. I've had my previous pair for 15+ years and only had to replace them as the sole finally cracked.

Comfortable hiking boots with leather and Goretex membrane. Good ergonomics and very good grip.

Very good product. Do not forget to lubricate the shoes abundantly if you want a perfect seal. Personally I use mink fat; I have been using these shoes for many years without problem with intensity except on two pairs where the vibram sole has deteriorated quite quickly

The boots look and feel really great- the quality is amazing. They fit true to size and would not hesitate to recommend.

This is the second pair of these boots that I have purchased. The first was 8 years ago, and they have been worn on average 4 days a week for a few hours, over that whole time. These are quite possibly the most comfortable boots I have put my feet into. No breaking in was required. The Gortex lining works as you would expect, leaving you with dry and comfortable feet at the end of the day, even after river crossings. Would not hesitate to buy these again.

Before participating in an expedition to Mount Everest in 2008, I bought my first Meindl boots, which I have used frequently every year since then but now after all these years it was time to buy new ones. Was around and tried various other brands on boots but the choice to buy a Meindl boot again was easy and it became the model Kansas GTX.
Know how important it is to have a boot you can trust in all weathers and which also feels "great" on your feet.
I feel confident in the choice and the knowledge that I have invested in a boot that will last for many years to come.

My Kansas are very comfortable and at the same time robust for my type of moderate hiking. It's my first pair, so I have little to compare with. I was lucky to get a good deal from Varuste (20% discount), do great value for money.

Fantastic shoes. They are nice, comfortable and very well priced. Have tested them already in tough terrain and splashed properly in streams with them. Results? Snuff dry, but do not forget to wax the shoes first and impregnate. Remember to choose about a size larger than you normally have in regular shoes so you can have two socks or thicker socks during the winter.

Very comfortably.

This is my second copy of meindl, kansas. The first pair lasted for nine years but then they were a bit worn in the back soles and with some tendency to sole release but the skin was still healthy and whole but due to sole wear maybe I should have changed something / a couple of years earlier. Although I possibly should have changed earlier, it is a longer use time than I usually have on my winter boots. I have used them mainly as the only shoe for 5-6 months a year (October-March) in an urban environment. The shoes are comfortable and keep the foot in place without squeezing or chafing. Delivery was fast with tracking and the price is significantly better than what can be found in Sweden.

First time buying Meindl boots. I like the quality and looks very durable. I ordered a regular shoe size (no wide option was available). I have not used it yet but I expect the same experience as the pair of Meindl Burma PRO MFS boots I have used - It was a bit stiff and tight the first couple of days I went walking with the boots. After a few more days and kilometres of walking the boots have moulded to the shape of my foot and has become more flexible an comfortable. I recommend ordering half a shoe size up from your regular size maybe if you want it more comfortable the first time you try the boots on out of the box.

Boots are amazing. I had multiple hiking and camping trips with it. It is waterproof until ankle level. I am additionally using waterproof wax to protect leather. I hiked with them 105 km in 5 days, there were no blisters or no foot pain. When it is paired with good wool socks it wont betray you in the middle of the nature.

Comfortable shoes. They fit really well on their own feet. Compared to the previous Tecnica hiking shoes I bought about 15 years ago, they are really light! The straps and strap hooks are excellent. I haven’t had time to try the actual hiking use yet, but I think it works well. High quality shoes!

I now bought a new pair as the previous Kansas ones start to be out of their way with years of hard use all year round. These will last as long as you remember to service the leather parts with Meindl Sport Wax and you should also brush it on the rubber part of the tip. These shoes I've never managed to get blisters when I used the same merinosukkia. Great hiking boots at a reasonable price, I recommend.

My first decent hiking boots, and with one weekend of experience I can recommend. The slightly wider last fits well, at least on my feet, and with the appropriate tightening of the strings, the shoe makes it fit well on the foot. The shoe supports the foot well even in uneven terrain. It took more than five weeks for the shoes to arrive after placing the order. Also, after that one weekend, I noticed that the sole of the other shoe had partially come off. I guess it’s an occasional manufacturing defect, but it’s annoying when the shoes had to be put back in circulation and now we’re waiting to see what happens: will the shoes be repaired or replaced - and how long will it take this time.

Have been good shoes, at least for Finnish terrains. Once upon a time, the Norwegian glaciers were visited and there was enough stability there with quarries and ice irons.
The downside is that in the first few kilometers, a small piece, perhaps the size of a little dragon's head, split from the bottom. Fortunately, however, this did not affect the grip or other properties of the shoe.
