Just got my Cabela's Meindl Perfekt boots in today, hope they don't disappoint
On my second pair. You will like them if you picked the right size. If not, send them back and tweak the size. Boots by mail order can be dicey.
But for cold weather and snow, nothing but Schnee Hunters for me in the 12" version. On my second pair after 14 years with the first pair. Have two felt liners which I can switch out at night. Used them in Alaska on a spring brown bear hunt with snowshoes. But use them exclusively on our annual Jan. cow elk hunt in New Mexico.
If you spend any time glassing in cold weather, no matter the boot, bring along another pair of wool socks to switch out your hiking socks which could be sweaty.
Fresh socks at a spotting location will keep you warm. If the hike is back on, I will switch back to the other pair, which I had placed in a plastic bag to keep the scent down.
Good luck
