Meindl Lite Hike GTX

The Meindl Lite Hike GTX is a men’s high-cut hiking shoe built for light to moderate trails. Its Gore-Tex lining shields your feet from damp conditions while still allowing breathability, making it a reliable choice when the weather turns wet or uncertain.

The upper combines suede and mesh to keep the weight down and encourage airflow, while the wide fit gives extra room around the forefoot for comfort on longer outings. Meindl’s AB | Hike Light classification places this model between soft hiking shoes and stiffer trekking boots, balancing flexibility for natural movement with enough support for carrying light loads. The Variofix lacing system wraps around the heel and midfoot to secure your foot in place, helping reduce slip and maintain stability over uneven ground.

The Gore-Tex membrane is a thin, waterproof layer with microscopic pores that block water droplets from entering but let moisture vapor escape, so your feet stay both dry and ventilated. The Variofix system consists of integrated webbing channels that tighten around the ankle and heel as you lace up, improving fit and reducing internal movement without adding bulk.
