The Meindl Mondello Mid GTX walking boot
Choosing the walking boots that best suit your needs should be given as much time and planning as when purchasing trainers and fashion footwear. If not more.
In fact, your walking boots have a multitude of jobs to do whilst on your feet, so it would be rather short-sighted to select a pair without considering how well those jobs need to be done.
Aesthetics should be at the bottom of the list when considering what kind of walking boots to buy, although brands have done much in recent years to meet the demand of those wanting boots that do the job but still look good.
How often are you prepared to replace your walking boots? How durable do you need them to be?
Do you need leather or fabric boots?
Note the focus on ‘need’. For example, you might prefer leather boots, but will they provide the flexibility and comfort you need? Yes folks, purchasing walking boots is serious business.
A favourite at BCH Camping is the Meindl Mondello Mid GTX walking boot.
The Meindl Mondello Mid GTX, available in men’s and women’s sizes from BCH Camping, is a nippy all-rounder that provides comfort for everyday walking on paved paths and is robust enough for more challenging hikes.
Offering durability, flexibility, comfort and protection, the lightweight Meindl Mondello Mid GTX boot has a lot to offer both regular and occasional walkers.
Feast your eyes on this impressive set of features:
The suede and mesh upper, and colour-matching lacing system provide the styling to make this boot a popular choice for those who want to look good while on daily activities and when hiking.
Meanwhile, the rubber overlay on the toe box and heel counter protects the outer from scuffing.
A mid-cut boot protects your ankles and provides balance and support to the rest of the foot. The advantage of a mid-cut boot to a high-cut boot is the flexibility it provides.
It is important to regularly care for your boots. The Meindl Conditioner and Proofer is an easy-to-use spray that maintains the waterproofness of your boots without changing their appearance and breathability. It can be used on leather, nubuck and fabric boots.
Fabric walking boots are suitable for all types of hiking. From paved and coastal paths to alpine use, the flexibility of fabric boots will serve you well. Being lightweight, fabric walking boots are an ideal choice for perhaps less experienced walkers undertaking infrequent activities such as the Duke of Edinburgh Awards. They’re also a popular choice for the Ten Tors Challenge.
There is less breaking-in required for fabric walking boots, and they generally tend to be cheaper than full leather boots. Fabric walking boots are easier to take care of than leather boots, needing just a brush-off of excess dirt and a spray with a conditioner and proofer.
All BCH Camping fabric walking boots have a GORE-TEX® membrane that makes them 100% waterproof and completely breathable.

Why choose mid-cut walking boots
The Meindl Mondello is a mid-cut boot. Generally, there are two types of walking boot styles: mid and high. You might hear of a low-cut boot, but essentially that will be a shoe that doesn’t provide the necessary support against ankle injuries during more challenging activities.A mid-cut boot protects your ankles and provides balance and support to the rest of the foot. The advantage of a mid-cut boot to a high-cut boot is the flexibility it provides.
