The Meindl Caracas walking shoe is a comfortable, leather-lined, flexible shoe. The outer material is made of a high-quality leather. The leather lining provides a naturally warm feeling under the foot. Furthermore, the leather shoe forms very well around the foot.
Wearing a good (walking) sock is important, for more information, visit: https://www.antilopeoutdoor.nl/lp/goedewandelsokken .
Due to the good counter (= heel piece) in the shoe and a firm padding around the ankle, the heel stays in place and the shoe provides good support.
The combination of the aforementioned features make the Caracas a real all-rounder with which you can enjoy walking on paved paths, through the woods, flat but also sloping terrain. Also excellent for a city trip.
Meindl has included the Caracas in the Category: Light Hiker – Traditional handmade shoe. This guarantees stability and comfort. Furthermore, the sole is irregular in shape so that the shoe provides the right support on all kinds of terrain.
The insole in the shoe is removable. The following insole is included with the shoe: Meindl Air-Active, this insole consists of a Drysole bottom layer and a soft top layer. This provides cushioning and the right climate in the shoe.
Take good care of these shoes
It is advisable to impregnate your hiking boots with a water-repellent spray before using them for the first time, which is suitable for shoes with a leather lining. When purchasing shoes at our store, we do this the first time.
You can feed the nubuck leather of these Caracas with a conditioner or wax. Over time, the leather will look like smooth 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. (Perhaps unnecessarily, but remove the insole from the shoe beforehand.) 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.
