There are quite a few company’s that claim heritage in the products that they make, but very few actually follow through and continue those traditions of the past. Meindl is one of those companies that actually honors the heritage of their ancestors. A family company that can trace it’s roots back to 1683 in the German village of Kirchaschoring. Still today, Meindl is run and owned by the family that founded it and it’s main production facility and warehouse can be found in the same town. Many models are still made in the Kirchaschoring including their genuine double and triple stitched boots. Four models in their hiking/outdoor selection are made this way and range from day hiker up to a fully rigid traditional mountaineering boot (red laces and all). Very few companies are willing to make products that require so much skill and precision of their employees. These boots are truly handmade are can be considered works of art.
The Meindl Super Perfekt is the ultimate traditional mountaineering boot. Made in the traditional fashion with triple-stitched soles, a full leather lining and an outer made of Swiss Military Leather. This is the thickest and toughest leather a boot can be made from and is designed to stand the test of time. For more information, visit the Meindl Super Perfekt page on our webstore.
