At 6'0 and 235 I am not the easiest on boots, great ankle support along with superior foot bed comfort is a must.
Have also looked at Meindls (cabelas) good reviews but some say they are a knockoff.
Not a knockoff, but a special run made just for Cabela's using a different type of leather that is supposedly softer.
It's still a Meindl's boot.
They are a great boot, but quite stiff. They give excellent ankle support, but I don't think I would categorize them as a real comfortable boot. I've slipped my Alaskan Hunters off at camp and put on my Danner Super Rainforests, it felt like I was putting on a pair of fleece lined moccasins compared to the Meindl's.
If you don't really need that type of stiffness I would not recommend them.
