This will be my second full season wearing Meindl Perfekt boots. I found them to be very comfortable out of the box. I'm not sure about never buying another pair however with the proper care they should last many seasons. I wear them mainly or upland game hunting. You'll want to oil them up immediately to tame the squeaks if you are deer hunting.

I would say that they are a little to much boot for warm to fair weather. Even on the coldest days I found wearing a liner sock with a light field sock works best.

My only complaint is they are pretty heavy. I guess that the price you pay for a super comfortable full leather boot.
