How long have you had the Meindl? How do they hold up to abrasion, if that's a factor where you use them ? I have problems with abrasion destroying the seams here in Pa with the mountain Laurel and brush. Rob
They’ve held up well. I’ve spent a lot of time in hells canyon as well as the coastal mountains. With my flat feet and destroyed ankles they are the only boots I have not been able to walk over. I haven’t wore any of the others after finding these in 2003. The midsole will break down from UVs after multiple years but I’m talking 7 or 8 years and I’m just keeping my last set in the closet when not wearing.
