Good to know

Meindl categorises this shoe as stiffness A/B, which means it offers a good balance of flexibility and support for light hiking. The GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort lining is designed for moderate temperatures and higher activity levels, so your feet stay comfortable even when you pick up the pace. For the best fit, order your usual EU size; if you're between sizes, consider going up half a size for thicker hiking socks.
