Meindl Journey Mid GTX men's hiking shoe

The shoe has a flexible sole and a high toe jump. Because the shoe has no seams on the side of the forefoot, it prevents pressure points. This makes him even more comfortable than he already was. The shoe has a removable insole. This makes it very suitable for arch supports.

The upper material of this shoe is mesh/nubuck. The inside of the shoe is made of Gore-Tex®. The weight per pair is 920 grams.

The Gore-Tex® lining not only ensures that the shoe is completely waterproof, but also that the shoe continues to ventilate well. The membrane stops water from outside, perspiration is transported from the inside to the outside. It is important to wear the right (hiking) socks here. Look for more information:

The combination of technical properties makes the Meindl Journey Mid GTX® a real all-rounder with which you can get along excellently in our (wet) forest areas, extensive heathland and on rocky paths, but also in the Alps for a light walk.

Meindl has included the Meindl Journey Mid GTX® in the Comfort Fit - Wellness category. This means that your foot has more space in the shoe at the feeding foot and toes and that the volume (space in the shoe) is greater.

The insole in the shoe is removable. The Comfort Fit insole is included with the shoe. This insole consists of a layer of cork for lightweight cushioning with a top layer of Memory Foam. This provides support and moisture regulation. Under the heel is a soft gel cushioning.

Comfort Fit

If you wear a shoe all day, the fit is crucial. Especially when you go for walks, you want a comfortable shoe. That is why Meindl has designed shoes with Comfort Fit, which have more space at the last.

1. More room at the toes and more volume in the shoe.
2. More space at the ball of the foot and big toe.
3. A wider stance thanks to the wider sole base.
4. A perfect fit due to the narrow heel.

Good maintenance for these shoes

It is advisable to impregnate your hiking boots with a water-repellent spray suitable for shoes with a membrane before using them for the first time. When purchasing a pair of hiking boots at our store, we do this the first time.

You can nourish the nubuck leather of this Meindl Bernina Lady 2GTX® with a conditioner or wax. Over time, when using a waxed agent, the leather will look like smooth leather. Brushing with a nubuck brush restores the nubuck structure of the leather.

Cleaning the hiking boots

First clean your shoes with a soft brush or lukewarm water and then let them air dry. A heater or hair dryer is strongly discouraged! Also rinse the inside of your shoes once in a while. This way you remove the salt crystals from perspiration and the membrane will retain its breathable properties. Air drying is also recommended after this. If necessary, fill with kitchen paper or newspaper to aid the drying process. Always follow the instructions of your chosen maintenance product carefully.
