Is the Nordkap PRO GTX warm enough for extreme cold?

Meindl rates the Gore-Tex Insulated Comfort liner down to -31°F, and the sheepskin lining adds warmth. That suits deep winter trekking and hunting, but activity level and socks change how cold you can actually go.

Yes. The Gore-Tex Insulated Comfort liner is waterproof, and the integrated gaiter helps keep snow and slush out of the shaft. The leather still needs care to keep the upper from soaking through.

How does it fit compared with other Meindl boots?

Meindl boots generally run true to size with a roomy toe box, and this model is built for thick winter socks. Try it with the socks you plan to wear, and size up if you are between sizes.

Can I use it for normal hiking in summer?

No. The insulation and tall shaft make it too warm and bulky for warm-weather hiking. It is a winter boot for cold, wet conditions.

What is the Multigriff sole like?

The Meindl Multigriff by Vibram is a rubber sole with a multi-directional lug pattern for grip on snow, mud and rock. It is not a crampon-compatible mountaineering sole.

When is the best time to buy it?

Winter boots like this usually see the deepest discounts at the end of the season, in late winter and early spring. Check the price history before buying in autumn, when demand peaks.

Our take on the Meindl Nordkap PRO GTX

The Meindl Nordkap PRO GTX is a men's winter boot built for deep cold and wet ground, with a Gore-Tex Insulated Comfort liner rated down to -31°F and a sheepskin inner lining. The cowhide and mesh upper sits on a Meindl Multigriff Vibram sole with a non-slip, multi-directional tread, and an integrated gaiter keeps snow out. It is a heavy, tall (11 in shaft) boot aimed at winter trekking and hunting rather than city wear.
