New Boots
« on: January 18, 2011, 09:03:02 PM »
 Well, it was time to cash in on the Cabela's Gift Card's that I received for Christmas. I have been looking at the Alaska Hunter Boots by Meindl for quite some time, and well, I finally got me some.

 Hopefully it was a purchase I won't end up regretting in the future.

If the Alaskans are anything like the perfekt's you will love them.  Been looking at the alaskans to add to the other meindle boots I have.  Nice boots!!

I LOVE my Meindles.  They should be great boots for you.

I think cabelas will not refund or exchange after 90 days now, so start wearing them now every day to make sure there are no flaws. Also keep them well coated with some good boot dressing.

they are great boots.make sure and oil them at least a couple times to reduce squeaking. mine got surprisingly loud but after oiling 2xs they rock. i used obenhuafs after being warmed up a bit.really helped

Nice! I have a pair of Meindl Denali's that are awesome.  They squeaked when I first got them, but a bit of mink oil fixed that.

Meindels are the most comfortable boot that I've worn.  Grease them well - a few people haven't been able to get rid of the squeek, unfortunately, but I haven't had a problem after I greased them.

I have had the exact same boot for over a year and love them.  Great support and traction over all kinds of terrain.
