simjakcal Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Looking at replacing my Harkila's that have fallen apart after just over a year's abuse ! I like the look of the Meindl's, yet im seeing them advertised on a few ads as a wide fitting ? Those of you who have them, how do you find the fitting of them and are they true to size ? ie im a 9 so should i order a 9 ? Cheers...

panoma1 Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Yes I have quite wide feet and they were very comfortable to wear, all day on walked up Grouse, straight out of the box, that was four seasons ago! I take a size 10 and they are a 10!....but as red dot implied.....I look after em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortmagnum999 Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I wouldnt buy anything else now, tremendous boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I purchased 3 pairs when I saw them in the USA back in the early 90s. Brilliant boot in my view. I was young enough back then to climb welsh hills and chase grouse through the heather they didn't wear out, I wore them out. I would believe they are still quality and should be at the price. I would still buy a pair tomorrow if they were what I needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve d Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 They are a wide fitting and ive found them true to size. I have weird feet due to an operation at 6mths of age, one foot is 1.5 sizes bigger than the other and the smaller one is wider! these are the only boots ive ever had that were comfy straight out of the box since my mum used to force me into Clarkes as a nipper in the 70's. Keep them well nourished and they will do you proud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simjakcal Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Thanks all for your response.. I think with them being a wide fit their not going to be any good as i got narrow feet ! I remember ordering a wide fit boot by mistake a few years ago and i felt like i had clowns feet ! Unless i can find some where in S/Wales to try a pair first, or take the hit on return postage if no good on mail order, ill have to look out for something else.. Cheers.

finreid Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Worth pointing out that they only offer them in a wide fitting. I was worried about them at first as I have normal feet verging on narrow, but find they fit well. I'm normally a 9.5 and went for a 10 as tend to wear them with a pair of shooting socks and they are the business. Extremely comfortable and would buy another pair in an instance. As with all boots though, definitely try before you buy. Lots of places do free deliver and free returns now so if you can' find anywhere local just buy online and send back if they're not right.

simjakcal Posted August 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Cheers m8...ill take a punt on them when my overtime comes through later this month... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetejArm Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I have a pair and love them, my only - would be to get a half size bigger as I have one foot slightly bigger than the other and feels tight sometimes!!! Still wouldn't by any other boots now ! Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
