Meindl Activo Lady GTX women’s hiking shoe

This category A shoe is ideal for all-round use, walking on flat or slightly hilly terrain. The Activo GTX women’s shoe comes from the Comfort Fit line from Meindl. For example, the shoe has a wider forefoot, but is narrower at the heel. The advantage of this is that it prevents pressure points and blisters, and you stand more firmly. The shoe has removable memory foam insoles that mold to your feet. The upper is made of stylish suede leather and mesh. Do you prefer walking on unpaved paths? The rough, rubber profile ensures that you stay with both feet on the ground. Are you ready for a sporty tour?

The Gore-Tex® lining not only ensures that the shoe is completely waterproof, but also continues to ventilate well. Water from the outside is stopped by the membrane, water vapor (perspiration) is transported from the inside to the outside. It is important to wear the right (hiking) socks here.

Comfort Fit

If you wear a shoe all day, the fit is crucial. You want a comfortable shoe, especially when you go on walks. That is why Meindl has designed shoes with Comfort Fit, which have more space at the last.

1. More room at the toes and more volume in the shoe.
2. More space at the ball of the foot and big toe.
3. A wider stance thanks to the wider sole base.
4. A perfect fit due to the narrow heel.

Good maintenance for these shoes

It is advisable to impregnate your hiking boots with a water-repellent spray suitable for shoes with a membrane before using them for the first time. When purchasing a pair of hiking boots at our store, we do this the first time.

You can nourish the nubuck leather of this Meindl Asti GTX® with a conditioner or wax. Over time, when using a waxed agent, the leather will look like smooth leather. Brushing with a nubuck brush restores the nubuck structure of the leather.

Cleaning the hiking boots

First clean your shoes with a soft brush or lukewarm water and then let them air dry. A heater or hair dryer is strongly discouraged! Also rinse the inside of your shoes once in a while. This way you remove the salt crystals from perspiration and the membrane will retain its breathable properties. Air drying is also recommended after this. If necessary, fill with kitchen paper or newspaper to aid the drying process. Always follow the instructions of your chosen maintenance product carefully.
