Meindl Himalaya

Hi guys anyone have a pair of these if so what do you think?

I had a pair,good Boots.A bit hot in the Summer but you expect that.

What does a pair cost in New Zealand?

got two pairs and now have a pair of Lowa GTX. Himalayas are a bit stiff for me, are heavy and agree hot due to the high rubber edge (unsure what you call that). very much alpine boots

google tells me you have nailed it

I had a pair and didn't like their tread pattern. Arsed up in a few dodgy spots that could have gone seriously pear shaped had I not been ready. I kept wearing them, they started deteriorating within a year of use (wearing them most days mind you). However, for a 700$ boot I expected more. I've owned various brand of boots that are half that price, comfortable and lasted just as well.

At the moment I have a pair of Bestard Cotos, Hanwag Alaskas, and some Garmont Pinnacles for hunting. Just got a pair of Stein chainsaw boots for day to day. I'm a forest manager, so out in the scrub several days a week. If I'm not working I'm hunting.
