That they have large toe boxes is very subjective, would have liked a better size description and also describes the circumference of the toe box and the size of the width.
But after two weeks of being read by a cobbler, they work fine and fit very well. Incredibly stiff throughout the shoe, but they should give in a bit the longer they are used.
The only direct complaint about the shoe itself is that it can feel very warm, especially if you are already a warm person, personally I will probably never need to use wool socks as long as I am not wading in the snow for a few hours.

These are fantastic boots, I have been wearing Meindl footwear for 30 years, won't be buying any other brand

Really comfortable to wear and my feet were dry throughout the 30kms of hunting throughout bush, wetland and tussock in Fiordland New Zealand. The tread of the sole always felt like it gripped what I was walking on, which in wet and slippery areas is a necessity and I felt I could trust the boots to hold on. Cannot be faulted. My feet showed no signs of blisters or damage despite there being no breaking in of the boots (they arrived the day before my hunting trip). I'm looking forward to putting them on again!

In regards to the Meindl Guffert Gtx as of now seems like a well made boot. Plenty of room in the toe box and comfortable all around. So far I have had no issues and expect for the boot to get more comfortable with use. I'm very impressed with the Meindl product that I went ahead and ordered the Meindl Sonnblick thru Varuste also. I have to say I have had an excellent experience purchasing from Varuste. They offer competitive pricing and our very responsive via email to any concerns that might arise. So with that,I will definitely keep Varuste in mind for my future needs.

After a long time of wasting money on walking boots I decided to put some research into meindl, usual walking boots have no lasted me long, nor have they provided adequate space and support for my feet, so usually after the first 15-20 miles I am already tending to my feet with blisters and talcum powder, then eventually cutting my walks short as my feet are completely falling apart, I knew I needed more space in my boots so I looked at the meindle comfort fit range, there are many options when it comes to boots but meindl explain everything with great detail, they grade their boots from A-C so it helps with deciding what grade of boot you will actually need, I chose the miendl Guffert GTX and....wow what a boot, I have already covered 300 miles in these boots since purchasing in December, the shoes broke in after 20-30miles and feel like slippers, I can walk all day and half the night in these and I have no blisters or rub marks at all, these are by far the best shoes or boots I have ever worn, so now I will finally be able to complete my 175 mile walk without any issues, if you haven't heard of miendl or don't know much about them, let this review give you confidence that you are not wasting your money! A wise man once told me, spend your money where you spend your time, on your bed or on your shoes, because if you are not in one you are in the other They are expensive-ish, but worth every single penny, I've wasted thousands in total on boots that just do not fit or do not last!

I've always hiked in Meindle shoes, and after many "Islands" I switched to the Guffert model. This is my second pair. Very good for rough hiking trails, but the sole does not hold very well on ice/slippery surfaces.
The previous models seemed to be finished a little better.
