Those Meindl's look like good boots. I used to wear Danner Acadia boots for years while in Patrol and they were an excellent boot. They used to come with an orthotic insert that helped a lot.
Lately I've been wearing Cabelas Rimrock Hikers ($99). So far, the rubber guard is cracking but the boots are incredible comfortable to hike in.
For the OP. Let us know what you decide to use. My experience with military boots (Marines) ended in 81 and the boots back then were pretty crappy. Hopefully it's gotten a lot better.
