Cooper: I had a pair of Cabelas Meindl made boots. When the soles peeled off I went to Cabelas and the boot department manager said I had "closet rot". My response was that the only thing rotten are your schit boots. A little research found that this was a common problem with the boots that Meindl made for a Cabelas contract due to inferior glue. Be advised that Cabelas Meindl is nothing like real Meindl boots made in Germany. The price difference reflects the difference in quality. Meindl will have nothing to do with any boot that is involved with Cabelas.
I've never owned a pair of Meindls. My step-dad got some from Cabelas. They didn't last long, and he doesn't walk much. I wasn't impressed.
I just posted because I want to know what the hell "closet rot" is.
