Meindl Gastein GTX® – Men's Winter Boots for Active Outdoor Use
Winter days outdoors are more enjoyable when your footwear combines a warm lining, protective construction and a sole designed for winter surfaces. Meindl Gastein GTX® is a lightweight, comfortable and timeless men's winter boot for winter walks, outdoor adventures, hiking and other activities in cold conditions.
Part of the Meindl Winter Light Hiker collection, the Gastein GTX® uses a hiking-boot-style construction but is intended for winter outdoor use. The waxed nubuck leather upper gives it a classic look, while the black colour makes it easy to pair with a range of winter outdoor clothing.
Warmth and Protection for Winter Days
The warm, soft lining contains 12 mm of genuine sheepskin. The removable insole is also made from genuine sheepskin. According to the manufacturer, the GORE-TEX® membrane provides full waterproofness and good breathability, making the boot suitable for a range of winter outdoor conditions.
The manufacturer states that the Meindl Gastein GTX® is suitable for temperatures down to –30°C. It is an option for men looking for a warm winter boot for active movement and time spent outdoors on cold days.
Grip on Winter Surfaces
The Vibram® Ice PRO outsole is designed for winter use. According to the manufacturer, it provides good grip on ice and offers good abrasion-resistance properties. The rubber outsole is also described as suitable for year-round use.
Choosing the Right Size
The sheepskin lining takes up space inside the boot, so the manufacturer recommends considering a size one size larger than your usual shoe size. Your toes should have enough room to move. For hiking boots, approximately 10 mm of extra room between foot length and internal boot length is generally recommended.
Different models have different lasts, and lining thickness affects the space inside the boot. Special insoles may also require additional room.
