The Meindl Glockner MFS GTX field sports boot has over the years proven a popular choice for hunting, performing excellently in wet weather and tricky terrain (with some suitability for crampons). With uppers made from luxurious Nubuck leather, and a robust rubber rand around the entirety of the boot, the Glockner MFS GTX has a classic style and is hard-wearing in demanding conditions. The addition of a GORE-TEX lining ensures the boot is 100% waterproof and breathable whilst the Digafix lacing system enables laces to be easily adjusted, giving extra support. The boot features a Memory Foam System (MFS) which offers extra cushioning around areas of pinching and pressure. The foams provide a customised fit by molding to the contours of the foot using body heat, meaning guaranteed comfort, support, and security. Complete with a Meindl Multigriff sole by Vibram, the Glockner MFS GTX ensures unbeatable traction and stable footing in the trickiest of circumstances.

How To Care For Your Meindl Glockner MFS
- Preparation: Take the footbed out, so it can dry out. If you also want to wax your boots, take out the bootlaces.
- Cleaning: Remove the worst of the dirt under running water with a brush; also remove dirt and stones from the sole.
- Hygiene: To improve the odour of your boots, clean the inside of your boots with luke-warm water and a brush. This doesn’t hurt the lining. Leather linings without GORE-TEX® can be cleaned with washing soap; only use water on linings with GORE-TEX®.
- Drying: Never dry boots in direct sunlight or on heat-generating units such as radiators or stoves. Wet leather is very sensitive to heat and “burns” easily (i.e. it becomes brittle and hard, and then gets cracked).
When the lining is wet, stuff boots with newspaper (don’t forget to remove later!). Dry boots keep their shape perfectly with wooden boot trees. - Spraying: It’s best to do this when the boots are not quite dry. The pores are still open and the spray penetrates deeper. Cordura can only be sprayed, leather also requires regular waxing.
- Waxing: Leather needs regular “nutritional” waxing, as do GORE-TEX® lined boots or the trim on cordura boots. Apply wax with a sponge or rag; don’t forget the tongues! Caution: Do not heat! Otherwise the wax penetrates too deeply, decreasing breathability and thus comfort. Use Meindl
- Tip for nubuck boots: Waxing changes the boots’ appearance. The leather gets smoother and darker, but this is a perfectly normal, harmless process! The leather is “fed” and the seams become more stable.
- Hooks and Eyelets: Protect against corrosion with wax or Vaseline.
