Meindl Respond Mid II GTX

Meet the Meindl Respond Mid II GTX, a mid-cut hiking boot built for male hikers hitting varied terrains. Designed to offer stability and protection, it’s suited to day hikes or multi-day routes where a bit more ankle support comes in handy.

The upper combines velour leather and mesh panels for a balance of durability and breathability, while the Gore-Tex membrane keeps feet dry when you encounter streams or wet weather. With a regular fit and “Hike Light” classification, these boots aim to keep weight in check without compromising on support. The mid-height cut helps guard against twist injuries, and the Meindl Contragrip sole delivers grip on dirt paths and rocky ground alike.

Gore-Tex is a waterproof, breathable membrane that blocks external moisture but allows sweat vapor to escape, so feet stay dry without overheating. Meindl Contragrip is a sole technology designed with a mix of rubber compounds and lug patterns to enhance traction and durability over a variety of surfaces, helping maintain footing in slippery or uneven conditions.
