Meindl Glockner

Meindl Glockner is an extreme Alpine Trekking boot made to take punishment. An excellent choice for Outdoor Professionals, High Country Farmers and Alpine Hunters  who regularly traverse challenging mountainous terrain.The stiff shank and ankle support with a small amount of toe flex combined with aggressive sole toe taper allows comfortable heel-toe walking on steep country whilst being highly supportive during sidling. The Meindl Glockner is a tough alpine trekking boot, built to withstand heavy use in the Alpine environment and anywhere steep gradients are traversed. It’s intended uses span from professional-level alpine trekking and hunting, through to high country farming in steep terrain.  Dense and thick leather, high and thick protective rubber rand and minimal exposed external seams combine to reduce the chance of wear and tear related damage.

A Trekking boot last is used (rather than a very narrow alpine last) in order to balance a snug fit against the need to cater for those with wider/above average volume feet. The stiff alpine climbing polyamide shank combines with the snug fit, the low flexibility structural support and the narrow outsole profile to create an excellent stability platform for toeing-in, sidling, edging, climbing and crampon use in steep mountainous terrain. Ideal for movement across broken and steep alpine terrain when load carriage is medium to heavy (20-40kg+).

A favourite boot amongst pro-users who demand longevity despite constant use such as Outdoor Guides, Farmers, Professional Climbers, Conservation Operators and Professional Hunters.
