MFS - Memory Foam System

The MFS system ensures perfect adjustment to the foot; the latest air-active technology guarantees optimum ventilation and breathability and makes the MFS models genuine high-tech products. Meindl's best selling trekking boots model is the "Island" produced for more than 20 years under continuous development and improvements and has received numerous awards.

Original DiGAfix Technology

DiGAfix, the flexible, diagonal retaining system in the instep area exerts no pressure on the foot and allows for the ideal "counter lacing". Traction starts at the right spot, the hook is higher and protrudes less.

For optimum lacing and fixing with DiGAfix, the fixing point lies much deeper than the pull hook. Locking hooks for two zone lacing.

Air-Active Soft Print Drysole

The soft print foam is put directly on the drysole fleece. No glue is used for connecting the two materials to ensure optimum moisture transfer. Soft cushioning along the entire surface of the footbed.

Support Zones in the PU Wedge

Scientific motion studies are the basis for all the boots Meindl develop, because they provide information about toe-heel movement, pressure distribution and the zones that need supporting. The heel-toe movement starts at the outer heel and continues in a rather straight line to the toes. Meindl support soles are typical examples of how to implement scientific finding in boots.

Feet that tend to twist outwards are supported by the supination support that adds to the correct rolling movement of the foot.

Feet that turn slightl inwards are supported in the inner heel area by the pronation support and are aided to walk with the correct action.

MFS Vakuum

Tough on the outside - soft on the inside. That's high-tech for your feet. The MFS Vacuum technology with special, padded foam makes perfect adjustment to any foot shape possible. The strong upper shell optimises stability and ensures optimum protection. The MFS Vakuum is the perfect combination of materials, technology and workmanship.

CF Technology

The carbon frame technology guarantees more stability in the heel; and with the special PU wedge along the entire length, perfect shock absorption and heel-to-toe movement are ensured.

MFS Vakuum Technology In The Footbed - For a new definition of fit

• Perfect adjustment to any foot shape and optimum pressure distribution across the entire treading surface
• The fleece absorbs moisture and removes it downward
• Sturdy and absorbent upper material

B-Dynamic Technology In The Footbed

• Sturdy and absorbent upper
• MFS Vakuum foam for individual adjustment
• A layer of PE foam for optimum shock-absorption
• Spring made from permanently elastic POM material for dynamic adjustment to the longitudinal arc and form fit between sole (inside) and foot

Double Stitching

Shoe making at it's best

Meindl have been convinced of the traditional craftmanship of double stitching for generations. This tradition requires absolute mastery and only very few shoemakers still command the skill to do it. Some of our mountain and trekking boots, and of course most of our classic brogues, are genuinely double-stitched. They stand out with their particularly high quality and outstanding long service life. The typical feature of a double stitched boots is the visible double seam.

• High quality leather
• Insole from vegetable tanned leather
• Made by hand
• Soft midsoles

Alpine

Stable and yet extremely light boots for sure footedness - even on the most demanding days. Perfect suitability to the terrain and optimum stability in the upper makes Meindl alpine models stand out.

High-tech In Practice

Meindl's facility is based at the foot of the Alps where the going gets toughest. In addition Medinl rely on the knowledge, experience and expertise of top mountain guides such as Peter Geyer. They test our boots in alpine and high-alpine terrain on expeditions and mountain routes. Their findings, experiences and demands are indispensable for further developmental and optimisation of Meindl boots.

Yosemite Top

• Laces reaching far down to the toes, asymmetric lines
• EVA shock absorption
• PU wedge throughout, becoming thinner towards the front. The cushioning EVA material ends in the area of the ball to feel the rock better

Air Revolution

The innovation for best climate inside the boot and improved breath-ability. The Air Revolution concept was developed by Meindl in 2000; the path breaking technology has receive several awards.

Air Conditioned Footwear

The innovation for optimum conditions in the boot and improved breath-ability. The entire tongue is a combination of 3D mesh and a cushioning, reticulate, perforated sponge material that causes the pumping action. To achieve an anatomical shape, a stabiliser made from micro fleece is sewn on the tongue. A very strong Velcro strap is integrated in the forefoot area and at the end of the tongue to secure the tongue.

More Ventilation, More Pump-Action

The technology of the Air Revolution line was further improved. In addition, a shock has been developed that is tailored to the function of the boot and makes the Air Revolution system perfect.

The tongue now has newly defined ventilation ducts. The big ventilation perforation is on both sides and covered my mesh material. Thus there is no impairment of ventilation or reduction of sturdiness. The waisted tongue adjusts perfectly to the shape of the foot. Also new are the reticulated, large-pored foams that are used and have a positive effect on adaptability.

Easy Lacing Eyelets

Thanks to it's special shape, the lace runs easily through the eyelets. The eyelets themselves are made from metal and as such, are very sturdy.

Multfrip & Multigriff Soles

About 30 years ago, Meindl developed the multigrip profile and has been used ever since. Concave cross-section, high skid resistance at the edges, good shock absorption characteristics and self cleaning profile with abrasive are are the predominate elements of the Meindl Multigrip sole, which is exclusively made for Meindl by Vibram. Also available in a modified design and appropriate to the category of use. Scientific tests undertaken at the University of Tubingen are a valuable support in developing these well known sole profiles.

• Elasticity - The unique structure of the cells makes the footbed so pleasant to wear - both standing and walking
• Moisture Control - Climate regulating thanks to unique moisture control
• Heat - Cork adjusts to the temperature and ensures a pleasant climate in the shoe
• Ecologically Sustainable - Thanks to the sensible economic use of cork oak, the preservation of cork forests and hence the ecological balance is ensured
