Thread: Meindl Boot Failure !

Common problem. I found the sole off a Meindl boot a long way into the Kawakas once. I bet the owner was pretty pissed off.
I have heard this BS about "they will fail if you don't use them". If you pay $600 for a pair of boots you expect them to last more than 5 years regardless of how often you wear them. I have a pair of Scarpa's going on 25 years old and they are just starting fall apart now but I now hear Scarpa are advertising their mid soles as "environmentally friendly" because they break down in landfills (and probably prior to that too).
