Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Cabela's Meindls vs international Meindls - difference?

arifleman, the international perfekt is a different boot. It has a norwegian welt and replacable soles. That one I can see. I also found that they use a different, smoother, maybe tougher leather.

The island pro mfs, however, is pretty similar to the hiker and denali. I have a hunch the interior leather may be the only difference. Here's a pic:

In my bedroom right now, I've got boots from meindl (cabela's)- the alaskan hiker, hunter, denali and perfekt. Add to that the Lowa Tibet, the Zamberlan 940, the Kenetrek hardscrabbles, the asolo sasslongs, and the hanwag. I'm certainly not going to keep all of them, but I wanted to do a good comparison video and show how they compare. They are all top notch boots, to be sure.
