Durable shoes.

Other similar shoes just purchased. Supporting very loose ankles, the arm is high enough. Despite the excellent new shoes, not many strikes accumulated.

Meindlin's Taigas in the first relatively dawn: On the first day, seven hours of talsim in varying forest conditions, sometimes in rocks, in a bad twig and in an open felling square with lots of pine and birch twigs, in almost impenetrable thickets. Four hours the next day. This is a blood trace test in dogs, in which the blood trace is made according to the original plan drawn on the map, by orientation and as straight routes as possible (only large cliffs and veins are rotated). There were a lot of crumbs and rocks covered with wet moss on the trails, and there the foot slipped between the rocks several times. Meindlin's Taigas (extending to the halfway) supported the ankles nicely. Ankle-length hiking boots would definitely have been an ankle-splitting / stretching experience (you can see the experience of ankle-hiking with ankle-length hiking boots :(. Many times as my feet slip into the rock holes, I wondered if it was a good decision to buy Taiga!

On the first trip, the water from the second shoe comes in and the warranty is replaced with new ones. Unfortunately, even with good maintenance, the shoe is not waterproof except for the warranty period. Now let’s go with the waterproof sock.

In old shoes, the sewing seams of the inner edge of the heels wear / open and the water resistance deteriorates

The shoes are good and durable! Worth buying yes for sure!

2 pairs Taigoja played, in both pairs left. over the big toe of the foot from the joint area without visible breakage leakage for about 10-15 days of use (properly maintained). First couple under warranty, second not. I don't buy Meindels anymore. In other words, very good for walking on trails in good weather, for example, unsuitable for hunting even in a wet shade. Unfortunately, because of the many different brands I own (Haix, Lundhags, Haglöfs) the best on the foot, but the biggest problems in water resistance duration. Friends have similar experiences with Meindel shoes bought in the 2010s.

The shoes have been in use for about 3 years, during the melting earth. Winters at room temperature unused. This fall, the PU midsole began to crumble in both shoes causing the rubber sole to come off. The shoes are therefore unusable. Really annoying a lot because the shoes are very good on the foot.

Walkability and stability ok. The rubber Vibram sole does last in these, but the pu-midsole crumbles at some point, and the Shoemakers cannot fix them.
