Anyone have first hand experience with these? Been wearing comfort fit hunters for years and thinking about trying the Kibo’s.

I don't have any experience with the Kibo's but have had many other pairs of Meindl's. I just got the Vakuum Hunters and am really liking them.

IME, the Cabelas Meindls were not as well built as the Meindl Meindls. YMMV...

I’m on 2nd pair of the post cabelas Meindl USA boots with no issues. Tried a few other brands and nothing fit as good as they fit me.

Yep the Cabelas Meindls failed me. It was the 4th pair I had owned. I now own 2 pair from Meindl USA and they are made in Germany and are of much better quality and they actually fit me better as well. Been on 2 hunts and so far I am very pleased.

I just put a pair of superfeet “hike” insoles in mine and it’s made a huge difference. All my boots will be getting them.

I’ve got their Vakum Hunter tall boots and love them. I’ve had them before and this is my second pair now. I love their insoles and all my hunting shoes have them including my LLBean rubber bottom boots. I use to wear their black duty boots for work when Cabelas sold them and probably wore them for 10 years. I believe I went thru 3-4 pair and they were much more comfortable then the Danner Acadias.

I have Lowa that I am getting higher miles on.
