Size 11 wide? yes.
In a heart beat if it's my size.
They're my size too, think I'll snag them.
Ooops double post
YES!
In my Size? Absofreekingtutely!
Meindl are great boots, have hiked all over NYS in mine for 10 yr. and they're still on good shape. BUY EM ! :thumbsup:
TOP BOOTS!!!!!!
DAMN!!!!!!! YES!!!!!
That's the exact style Meindl's I have, and I paid ALOT more the $50. Fantastic boots!
HELL YES!!!!!
I have a pair just like those but with the Cabelas stamp on them - best boot I have ever owned. That is a heck of a deal!
I have the perfect hunters and the perfect hikers. The Most comfortable foot wear I own !!!

Same here.
If they are size 15 I'll take them!!
Yep
As long as the owner didn't have "jungle rot" while wearing them......
Heck, YES!! Looks like the "Borneo-model" to me. Very good boots. Generations of boyscouts over here can`t be wrong. :thumbsup:
Hint: Meindl is crafting a rather wide last - not for the very narrow feet.
Great boots. Wore a pair like that six seasons of elk hunting. Great support and waterproof. Feet always felt good as long as I changed socks midday
Got 'em!
I had a pair of high end meindles for two seasons and honestly I loved them for the first couple months then they started leaking and after the end of the second year they were retired as work boots. but after that I bought the highest end lowa and same thing as far as waterproofing, the lowas structure and sole were a bit better but they should be for the buck. I even use revivex before every hunt. and still cant keep my feet dry. so my opinion. for fifty bucks and lightly used you probably couldn't do any better. and I hope many years of use for you.
Yeah, you could do a whole lot worse for $50, but probably not any better.
Maybe. If they have been broken in and have molded to somebody else's feet, probably not. I have taken a couple pair of slightly used boots that my son outgrew, and they just did not fit me well even though they were my size.
They really were a little more boot than I like. Very tough but stiff and uncomfortable. Everybody's feet are different as is the terrain being hunted so you will never get total agreement on boots.
Awesome boots. I wore mine for 12 days in Alaska, feet were never cold or wet.
Thanks for all the feedback guys - they just arrived in the mail today. Been wearing them for a few hours so far and the feel great. Going to give them a real work out this weekend to see how they treat my feet.
So now that I have them, what do you all treat them with to extend their life and keep them as waterproof as possible? Mink oil, snow seal....??
I bought their own brand of waterproofing. I'm pretty sure you can't use anything with silicone. Go on their website and see what they recommend, but a good product is a bees wax paste, no silicone.
I have tried them on as I have heard good things from friends (especially the pre Cabelas boots).
Unfortunately they don't make boots for average size fellas like me...oh well, back to Russel.

I just paid $200 at cabelas for a pair and can say they are VERY comfy (hard to fit wide feet) lots of room and thinking of buying a 2nd pair (to hold on to )The Most comfortable foot wear I own !!! I agree!
