Meindl Activo Lady GTX Wide Fit Walking Shoes - Blue/Mint

Haven't had a chance yet to test whether these are in fact waterproof, however I do like that they are lightweight and accommodate my bunion with no issues or pain at all. However, the balls of my feet have been left tingling after two 3 mile walks on mostly pavements/roads so far despite the Comfort insoles. I'm hoping that with further wear this will cease and I can wear for longer walks without discomfort, or otherwise I may have to look at purchasing additional insoles to see if these alleviates the issue, and certainly not the most comfortable like some other reviewers. I really hope that for me they do not end up being yet another pair of walking shoes/boots that I replace long before they are actually worn out just because I can't face being uncomfortable wearing them anymore. Can't fault service from order to receipt from Hill and Dale Outdoors.

This is my second pair of these trainers - the first has lasted 4 to 5 years of many many miles of dog walking over countryside terrain. I have the Meindl leather for winter time, but in fact the last couple of years I have stuck to using these trainers as they have proved so comfortable and water proof. They are robust yet light and have worn well. I usually take a 5, but these are 5.5 and just right. The service from Hill and Dale has been superb. I rang to check they were in stock - a real person went to check hands on and said they would be in the post that day. They were, and arrived within 48 hours with communications all the way. Thankyou.

Bought these for my wife to replace her previous pair which have been worn daily for dog walking until the sole and heel were worn flat. A couple of days of indoor wear to make sure there were no rubbing seams etc, then straight onto the feet and out the door. As with other reviewers, my wife has bunions which make the front of the foot very wide and she finds the comfort fit on these perfect.

Excellent, lightweight and extremely comfortable from day one. Usual top quality from Meindl and very fast service from Hill and Dale.

I have very wide feet and continually struggle to find shoes that fir. I like a pair of "trainer" type shoes for every day wear but find other trainers (3ven when they say they are waterproof) let water in the minute I walk across wet grass. I bought a pair of these Activo Lady wide fit shoes over 2 years ago, and they have been brilliant. Now that the soles are wearing down I have bought an identical replacement pair. They are waterproof!
