The 10" 400 Gram Thinsulate Meindl Lineman Boot is among the favorites at Hoffman's. The German made Meindl boot offers excellent ankle/leg support and stability. A waterproof liner helps insure dryness and a removable insole adds cushion to your every step. Hoffman's has added our Dual Steel Shanks for all day climbing comfort. A durable Vibram lug sole provides traction and long time wear. Although waterproof liner failure is rare in the construction of this boot, neither Hoffman's nor Meindl will warranty the waterproofness of this boot. The large majority of custumers order 1/2 size smaller than usual.
