Meindl Desert Fox Boots

Material: Suede leather with Cordura uppers

Weight: 745g approx

I have used these boots for quite a few expeditions, and to have lasted more than one is a bonus in itself. Although not the cheapest boots on the market, I find that they are the most comfortable. The build quality is excellent, and as a result I only have to change my boots every few years. Although more of a military boot (it is currently used by the British Army on operations), it doesn’t look it and blends in perfectly well as civilian footwear.

I find the Meindl Desert Fox can be broken in rather quickly and wearing them from day one is very comfortable. They are not as stiff and inflexible as others on the market, yet still provide you with the ankle support you would need when negotiating difficult terrain. Overall, when looking for a tough and comfortable pair of boots, these fit me, er, like a glove.
