Who should buy the Meindl Journey Pro GTX
The Journey Pro GTX from Meindl proved to be a reliable hiking shoe, albeit one must be fine with shelling out a great expense. It is a solid option if you:
- Prefer a hiking boot that renders a waterproof, breathable, and durable build
- Prefer a hiking boot that grants a durable yet comfy performance
- Prefer a hiking boot that promotes the natural rolling motion of the foot with its tapered construction
Self-cleaning profile
The Meindl Journey Pro GTX features a Comfort Sport outsole (No. 77). It has a self-cleaning profile that channels water out and prevents the build-up of debris.
Excellent traction
This mechanism allows it to maintain its traction on varying ground conditions. An extension of this component is found in the toe area to grant protection against accidental knocks.
Supportive and comfy cushioning
This low-cut day hiking shoe employs the Air-Active Wellness Sport footbed for a supportive and comfy ride. It sits atop the shoe’s EVA midsole which serves as the shock absorber.
Promote breathability and comfort in arid outdoor conditions
The upper of the Journey Pro GTX uses nubuck leather. Mesh is used in specific areas of the shoe to promote breathability and comfort in arid outdoor conditions. The foot is protected from wet encounters through a Gore-Tex laminate.
Delivers extra protection on rocky trails
The brand engineers added a layer of reinforcement on the toe and heel areas to deliver extra protection on rocky trails and enhance the shoe’s durability. Comfort is amplified by its cushioned tongue and collar. To manage fit, it uses webbing loops and two sets of metal eyelets at the top. A pull-loop at the back of the shoe facilitates smooth on and off.
