I have the Meindl Island's bought where I now live in British Columbia and the Cabela's Perfekt Hunters (CPH) where I am on my third pair. They fit differently and the sizing is different. The CPH have a larger heel pocket and are wider in the toe box, and fit me better (ie no blisters) versus the Canadian sold Island. There is a major price savings with the CPH from the US as well. The leather may be sightly thinner on the CPH, but is thick enough for a two week back pack trip pursuing stone sheep a month ago. Try them on, your feet will be different than mine for sure. I do endorse Meindl boots for their quality, durability and fit.
