I have a pair of Meindl boots, don't remember the model, but I like them for late season pheasant hunting in SD and big game hunting here in ID. They're not the perfekts, they were a bit more spendy than the perfekts. They wear well and are very comfortable.
I wore the heck out of the bean boots with the chain tread when I lived in AK. They fit my needs for the terrain where I hunted August/Sep caribou and moose i.e a lot of walking in wet tundra, not so much for the big game terrain I hunt here in ID.
However, I do wear the Bean boots when I'm hunting spring turkeys, walking skid roads.
