When ultra-breathability is required this is the best boot for high liability manoeuvre and load carrying.

Meindl Desert Defence

From a military pedigree, the Desert Defence has been designed as the ultimate boot when high breathability is desired. Ideal for full spectrum use and ideal for use off trail when carrying heavy loads (20-40Kg+). The Clima lining and hydrophobic foams move perspiration away from the foot to the exterior efficiently. This also allows water that has penetrated the boot to egress quickly during walking motion.

Meindl Desert Defence

Due to its rugged construction and high postural support the boot is ideal for all recreational, agricultural and tactical applications when a highly breathable non-waterproof boot is desired.

MEINDL DESERT DEFENCE

Advice from Meindl

  • This boot is awesome for both very hot dry environments and very wet temperate environments. In dry climates, it provides excellent breathability. In wet environments, the boot moves liquid efficiently to the outside of the boot. This can be a distinct advantage over waterproof footwear when the user is unable to prevent water entry through the top of the boot shaft.
  • Apply Meindl Sportwax liberally to the heel flex zone, the exposed seams and toe flex zones to prevent leather cracking in these high wear zones.
  • Look after your mates and watch your six, these boots will look after your feet.

Meindl Desert Defence Lace
  • Open weave Cordura mesh panels for maximum breathability. Cordura is used only in areas unlikely to experience significant wear.
  • Suede leather in areas that experience high wear such as the instep during fast roping.
  • Hydrophobic foam between upper materials and waterproof lining. This allows perspiration and liquid water to pass quickly to the exterior of the boot. Foams are minimised in other areas of the boot to minimise weight.

  • Internal polymer toe cap with generous volume to protect the toes from impact and minimise rub zones during very long tabs and pack marches.
  • Critical seams minimised in high wear areas. No instep seam in the area that a fast rope would rub in order to prolong the boot life.
  • PU midsole for the optimum balance of shock absorption, vibration dampening, rebound and flexibility.
  • Differential pronation and supination support zones combine with optimised heel to toe drop and midsole taper to aid natural heel to toe gait.
  • Very comfortable full-length orthotic differential tapered polyamide shank with defined torsion and flexation zones. Medium flex for strong tibial and metatarsal support on uneven terrain.
