Here is a US company that sells a Meindl boot.

I just found an issue with my five year old Cabelas Meindls, the stitching just above the heel on both boots is coming apart.

Also the Gore-Tex liner started leaking this year.

I got in touch with Cabelas and they said bring them back, but I'm not going to as I no longer have the receipt and their policy is to give you a gift card in return for the boots for the amount of the lowest sale price they had on them.

Except for the stitching the boots are still in really good shape, I think with a upholstery needle and some thread I can repair them well enough to get a few more years out of them.

My next boots will be Scarpas.
