Hiking boots

Journey Mid GORE-TEX Walking Boots

Meindl · £230

A leather walking boot shown from the side.

Nice, but provisional

£230 for a lightweight boot Meindl themselves describe as being for leisurely hikes and urban walking. That is an honest description and it is also the problem: at £230 you are paying trekking money for a boot the maker positions below trekking, and the £150 Salomon covers the same ground.

For
Someone who wants Meindl build quality for walking that is not demanding.
Not for
Anyone doing anything strenuous, where this is both too dear and not enough boot.

What we checked

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
