Meindl footwear has enjoyed decades of popularity, especially among hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. The German giant's footwear is particularly appealing in the Nordic countries, as the sturdy and often Gore-Tex-equipped shoes are well-suited for the local terrain, such as the mountains of Northern Lapland, wilderness areas, and rocky landscapes.
Founded in 1928 in Kirchanschöring, the family-owned business honors old traditions while embracing modern methods. Regardless, the main material for Meindl shoes remains high-quality leather to this day.
In addition to being favored by hikers and adventurers, many Meindl footwear models are considered excellent for work and official use, such as fieldwork or construction sites. Meindl also offers a range of products related to shoe maintenance and socks.
