The meindl Burma's are of the best boots money can buy! i'd recommend them all the time at work and many of the staff (who live for hiking) would have them.
However the non-gore tex version of the Burma, the Borneo -
is actually better, just because it doesnt have gore tex (Its identical in all other respects iirc). Gore tex being a water proof membrane is good, but putting it inside an already waterproof leather boot is pointless only making your foot more sweaty. Leather is naturally more breathable than gore tex you see. (but how much do you notice your feet sweating in reality is subjective)However as you have had your boots for 4 years the gore tex membrane will have now deteriorated and will be doing nothing to make your foot sweaty or waterproof your boots, instead you have an excellent pair of leather boots, so its all good!
- yes I would go with the sans goretex pair next time, for sure. Goretex was all the rage at the time :-P********
- ha, it sells boots so they slap it on, at least meindl have the courtesy to have a non-gore tex pair also :)Hombre_Lobo
- the inside at the top (which sites round your ankle) is well sexy and soft, reversed calf leather iirc.Hombre_Lobo
