Meindl Comfort Fit - The boots and shoes in Meindl’s Comfort fit range are typically wider, more generous and more supportive than a standard trekking fit. They are suited to walkers with wider feet who have struggled to find boots to fit them comfortably.
The Meindl Rapide GTX wide fit shoe is part of the Comfort-Fit Wellness Sport range, offering a wider fit than other styles alongside a superbly cushioned footbed.
Constructed from lightweight suede leather and mesh uppers the Rapide GTX walking shoe is durable yet supple. The addition of a GORE-TEX lining ensures it has waterproof protection keeping your feet dry in all circumstances and an Air Active footbed aids the ventilation of fresh air into the shoe. The Comfort-Fit of the Rapide GTX means that the shoe is wider at the front, giving extra room for movement particularly at the foot’s flex point. It does so whilst remaining secure at the heel ensuring a sturdy and supportive fit.
Equipped with a Meindl Comfort Sport sole the Rapide GTX has excellent grip on a variety of surfaces, an easy roll for maximum comfort and a sharp edged heel to help when hill-walking. The Rapide GTX is the ideal walking shoe for everyday wear and leisurely walks in the country.

Meindl Grade A - A good quality walking shoe with enough stability and underfoot protection for daily use. These shoes and mid's will take you from the urban commute and a weekend city break, on to a trail walk and lower level path. They are truly multi-purpose.
Gore-Tex® Waterproofing - the world's leading waterproof and breathable fabric technology. GORE-TEX Performance Comfort Footwear is designed to be highly adaptable to changing weather conditions and versatile for a wide range of activities. Thanks to their innovative construction, they are an ideal solution for the widest range of activities and changing weather conditions. Water stays on the outside of the footwear while perspiration from the feet can easily escape from the inside of the footwear.
Air-Active® Footbeds - Meindl's Soft Print footbeds are Air-Active for moisture absorbency and feature a Vildona dry sole underside, which pulls moisture away from the foot creating a good foot climate as you walk. Also featuring poron and memory foam, they offer comfort and natural shock absorbency.
Comfort Fit - In comparison to a trekking last, Meindls Comfort fit® last has more space at the front of the foot with a firm grip on the heel. You stand on a wider base. The more defined contour enables easier rollover when walking.
Meindl Comfort Sport Sole - Featured in their Comfort-Fit range, offers a blend of cushioned memory-foam footbed and breathable Air-Active layers that wick moisture and adapt to your foot’s shape for lasting comfort. Its supportive midsole and wider base enhance stability, while the durable rubber outsole ensures reliable grip on mixed terrain - all in a lightweight, athletic design suited for everyday hiking.
Suede leather - Made from the underside of animal hide, instead of the tougher outer layer, by brushing or buffing the material. It's more flexible and breathable than full-grain leather. While it is still leather, suede is less rugged and more soft and tactile than traditional smooth leather.
Don't forget! Rinse your boots off with fresh water after every muddy hike and remember to treat leather boots with waxes or conditioners to keep the leather hydrated, refreshing the water resistant outer layer ensuring a long and happy life from your boots. You can find our range of waxes and conditioners here!
If you are coming into Landers Outdoor World to try on boots don't forget to bring your usual hiking socks to try with the boots!
