ok, 6 weeks in on these boots and the are great. They have formed to my feet very well but they havent gotten loose.

I've tried them wet, extra wet, cold, and dry and there has been no squeeking. Traction has been great even when the ground gets slick outside.  Been through a couple boggy areas and they never leak. They breath well for how thick they feel and the support is amazing. I was worried that they would be too stiff but the cushion depth, density and placement has been great.

Hopefully they continue to feel better and better.  I usually go on a hike sunday after church so i where then to church then hit the woods and they are comfortable enough to where all day.

Whenever i wear them on cement I think about more cushion but the shock dispersion due to good fit keeps foot pain at bay.  Off of cement in the woods they are awesome, especially when it gets uneven... thats when they fit and support kicks in.

I like how the laces hook and loop down to the foot so they are easy to take off/put on.

I'm taking them to washington with me since i'll be there for my annual christmas morning hike. Might get to try them out on my old stomping grounds in snoho county.

They are a great pair of boots and glad they are working for you!  I have had mine for over 2 years. i have had no regrets and still waterproof and most comfortable boot I have.  Just picked up some Alaskan Meindl and they are just as good but are taking a bit longer to break in since they are a little more ridged boot compared to the perfekts at least from what i remember from when the perfekts were new.

i couldnt imagine a stiffer boot that the perfekts

oh wait, a quick google the perfekts they sell in the states are built different than the ones i tried on here.

They are good boots. One thing that Lowas meindles, and kenetreks all have in common is their insoles SUCK!  Do yourself a favor and spend the $35 and buy a set of Green Superfeet for them. My brother has those and said it was the best purchase he could have made. I bougjt tje super feet for my lowas and I concure

Was wondering about these boots have read about them but never talked to anyone about them. Now is the time to start looking at new equipment for next years hunt and was considering new boots. Have been wearing Schnees un-insulted pack boots for years and have had good luck have used them in Idaho, Alaska and here, but always looking at new equipment to see if it is better. Good info thanks

between me and the wife we probably have 7 pairs of superfeet so a pair of them will probably make it to my meindl's eventually.

I bought some Perfekts this fall. They required absolutely no break in,and are easily the most comfortable boot I've ever worn.

   Nevermind apparantly you are a big fan of the superfeet as well.

Sole heat moldable insoles are very good also.

I have the perfekt, denali and AK hunters. I wish the perfekt had the rubber rand that the others do....that aside, they are perfekt...lol. sadly, I will never buy another pair, cabelas return policy is now hyper gay and I want a boot I can wear for a few weeks before hunting season and not worry about the return policy if it craps out. My next boots will be la sportiva or similar from......gulp, rei.
