The Cabela' s Canada Boots by Meindl

One thing I will not do is promote anything on this blog that I havn't tried myself and believe in.  Back in 2004, my wife purchased a pair of boots for me for Christmas. I had been wearing large felt pack boots while lion hunting and my feet were a mess. Little did she know how far those boots would carry me. After 7 years of use, I have logged many miles in my boots, in the toughest terrain and coldest tempratures. I have used them on horseback, on ATVs and snowmobiles. These boots are awesome.
  

I have done my homework and read many reviews for this post. Here is just a sample of the response Meindl Canada Hunting Boot owners had to the product:

" If you care about your feet, spend the extra money and buy these boots. I had looked at these boots for quite a few years and the price tag always scared me away, but the old moto "You get what you pay for" holds true with these. We do a lot of hunting on rugged steep mountains and I have never felt so comfortable in any other pair of boots. The traction is second to none, ankle support is out of this world and the durability is amazing. It feels like your feet are in 4-Low when your hiking something rugged. These boots broke right in with a few trips out scouting and before too long they felt like I was slipping on moccassins. Kudos to Meindl for making the ultimate hunting boots for all hunting applications. If these boots can't get you there, you don't belong there. Amen!"

Here is what others have to say about the Canada:

I have also tried Rocky, Hanwags, Irish Setter and other boots but nothing has compared to the comfort and durability of this boot. In addition to hound dog'n I am also a sheep, elk and mule deer hunter and I can say that the Meindl Canada Hunting Boots are perfectly suited for extremely rough terrain. It is 100% waterproof, yet breathes to allow water vapor to escape. These boots have a rigid sole, similar to the best heavy duty mountaineering boots, but with the support and protection of 11" upper. With an average weight of 4.8 lbs, these make the long trecks much easier. If you are as hard on boots as I am, these are for you.

Meindls in action!
