Finding the right fit in walking shoes or hiking boots can make or break your outdoor experience. That’s why we’re proud to introduce Meindl’s new Comfort Fit range to 53 Degrees North, featuring the Mondello GORE-TEX Walking Shoes and the Tramin GORE-TEX Hiking Boots. These models offer a fresh approach to footwear, providing extra space where it’s needed most, without compromising performance.
What is Comfort Fit?
Meindl’s Comfort Fit is designed to offer a wider forefoot, giving your toes room to spread naturally. This helps reduce pressure points during long walks or hikes. The heel area remains snug, providing the support and stability Meindl is known for. Combined with GORE-TEX waterproof lining, durable construction, and premium materials, these shoes and boots strike a great balance between comfort and function.
Unlike standard walking shoes, Comfort Fit footwear supports better toe alignment and a more natural stride. The extra space also helps prevent blisters and discomfort over long distances. Whether you're exploring a trail or strolling through town, the design delivers long-lasting comfort.
Meindl Mondello GORE-TEX Walking Shoes
The Mondello is ideal for those who enjoy light hiking, countryside walks, or weekend adventures. With a lightweight yet sturdy build, these walking shoes include:
- GORE-TEX waterproof lining to keep feet dry in wet conditions
- Extended lacing system for a personalised fit
- Rubber toe protection to guard against rough terrain
- Comfort Fit footbed for support and pressure relief
They are especially suited to low-level trails and urban-to-rural transitions, making them a versatile choice for Irish walkers. If you’re looking for a supportive shoe that doesn’t feel restrictive, the Mondello could be exactly what you need.
Meindl Tramin GORE-TEX Hiking Boots
Designed for more rugged trails and longer hikes, the Tramin features:
- Nubuck leather and suede uppers for long-lasting durability
- GORE-TEX lining for breathable waterproof protection
- Protective rubber toe cap and shock-absorbing sole
- Comfort Fit cork footbed, offering arch support and room to move
These hiking boots are well-suited to Ireland’s variable terrain. Whether you're navigating rocky ground or forest paths, the Tramin provides protection, grip, and confidence. The Comfort Fit design adds welcome room for hikers with wider feet or those who wear thicker hiking socks.
What Sets Comfort Fit Apart?
Comfort Fit isn't just about width—it’s about functional comfort tailored for real-world outdoor use. You get improved stability through a cupped heel design, enhanced shock absorption, and a roomier toe box that relieves pressure over long hikes. Many customers find this fit helps them enjoy longer walks with less fatigue.
Whether you're hillwalking in Kerry, trekking through Wicklow, or exploring your local woodland, Comfort Fit shoes and boots adapt to your pace and environment. This fit is especially helpful for hikers who experience foot swelling during extended outings.
