Meindl Veneto GTX Hiking Boot – What is comfort fit for hiking?

The Comfort-Fit footbed is made from cork and is more supportive than the standard footbed. It gives a wider surface area to stand on allowing for more movement of the toes and around the flex point, whilst keeping a firm hold around the heel. Adorned with a fleece lining this footbed makes the Veneto undeniably comfy and perfect for all day use. Complete with a Meindl Comfort Hiker II sole, giving fantastic traction on a variety of surfaces, the Veneto GTX is ideal for country walks and light hiking  

Meindl Veneto GTX Hiking Boot – What is Gore-Tex?

GORE-TEX® membrane combines durable waterproofness and optimized breathability, offering enduring waterproof protection and optimized climate comfort. This means that water stays on the outside while perspiration can easily escape from the inside. Thanks to their innovative construction they are an ideal solution for the widest range of outdoor activities and changing weather conditions.  

Aftercare for your Meindl Veneto GTX Hiking Boot

Cleaning

• Remove footbeds to dry. If waxing your boots, remove the laces as well.
• Remove loose dirt and stones from both boot and sole under running water using a brush
• Never dry footwear near a source of direct heat, e.g. sunlight, radiators or stoves. Wet leather is very sensitive to heat and can become brittle, hard and cracked.

Leather boots and shoes (Symbol I)

• Use Meindl Sportwax each time you clean your boots
• Every third time, spray with Meindl Wetproof before using Meindl Sportwax
• The Meindl Wetproof will improve the water resistance of the leather
• Remember to treat soft areas such as the tongue and cuff

Nubuck leather boots and shoes (Symbol II)

• Smooth leather – treat regularly with Meindl Sportwax
• The Meindl Wetproof will improve the water resistance of the leather
• Nubuck leather/suede – spray frequently with Meindl Conditioner and Proofer
• In all cases, remember to treat soft areas such as the tongue and cuff

Fabric and Suede boots and shoes
