Hiking boots

Peru GORE-TEX Walking Boots

Meindl · £240

A leather walking boot shown from the side.

Worth being NRY provisional

£240 for waxed nubuck and the classic Meindl shape, built for durable protection from weather rather than for lightness. Waxed leather is the one upper that genuinely keeps working after years of bogs, provided you wax it, and that maintenance is the deal you are making at this price.

For
Someone walking in British weather who will look after a boot.
Not for
Anyone who will never wax anything: the upper needs it to stay waterproof.

What we checked

  • A classic Meindl shape in waxed nubuck, for durable protection from the elements. Ellis Brigham

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.
