Well built, good looking (IMHO), comfortable, normal good Meindl fit, goretex, decent sole. | | Weaknesses:
Rather rubbish laces, When I forst got them I had an issue with the piece of plastic around the heel. Very expensive... | | Overall:
I got mine off ebay for £30, but I would struggle to pay full price for these shoes. My rating is based on the price I payed not RRP.
These are good solid performers from a good solid shoe company. As I have noted before I really didn't like the plastic around the heel (and almost got rid of them because of it), but after a bit of wearing-in I found that thankfully the problems went away. It is definitely worth trying these on for a while in the shop before buying.
Personally I find them a good looking alternative to the rather dull looking Magic range, with build and performance right up there with the rest of the premier league of shoes (Salamon, Scarpa, Raichle etc).
If you are looking for premium shoes like these and they fit then you can do far worse than these. |
