Meindl Kibo GTX
The Meindl Kibo provides warmth at extremely low temperatures but this incredibly robust and durable boot can be used in all terrains thanks Meindl's Multi-Grip Rock sole. A unique compound of soft rubber and felt on the inner part of the sole provides traction on wet surfaces and ice, so you can be confident in its traction and stability, no matter the surface.
The Insulated Gore-tex membrane and Insulated Air Active footbed are rated for temperatures down to -30 degrees Celcius.
B/C Class boots are the most versatile boot that can take you anywhere from the trails around Vancouver to multi-day trips in the backcountry, lower elevation hunting and alpine hiking. They are heavier and have a more robust upper and sole unit than a B grade boot. They are suitable for occasional strap crampon use but do not have a heel-well for semi-automatic crampons.

Care Instructions:
Constant waxing of the leather is critical to maintaining the overall health of the boots, ensuring they stay waterproof and extending their. We recommend any beeswax-based product such as Meindl Sportwax. Waxing changes the appearance of the leather, making it smoother and darker.
There's no strict rule for how often to wax the boots but if you notice that water isn't beading off the boot anymore or the leather is looking a little dry, it's time to apply more! Apply it in thin coats all over the boots and rubber guard, since rubber can dry out too. Applying a little to the hooks and eyelets also protects them against corrosion.
If you're heading out on a long trip, it's a good idea to bring a bit of wax and a brush to clean and condition the boots since salt water, mud, and scraping against rocks and rocks will strip the nutrients from the leather.
We offer all of our Meindl customers the following:
- Free consultation
- Custom fitting
- Special orders (if we don't have your boot)
