The Meindl Island Lady MFS Active hiking shoe is a high leather shoe for women. The outer material is made of a high-quality and supple leather. The leather inner lining provides a comfortable shoe that easily adapts to the foot, but also continues to ventilate well and absorbs moisture quickly. Leather is a processed natural product obtained by tanning an animal skin. Despite the enormous development and progress in the production of new synthetic fabrics/materials, good leather still remains the most expensive but also the most durable material for a (handmade) technical hiking or mountaineering shoe. Treated well, you’ll have this shoe “forever.” Leather has a high wearing comfort, but once wet, it dries more slowly than synthetic materials such as Gore-Tex. If treated properly, you will not quickly get wet feet in a leather shoe with a leather inner lining.

These properties make the Island Lady MFS Active a real all-rounder with which you can enjoy excellent use in our forests, extensive heathland and dunes. This shoe is also perfect for a light Alpine hike.

The insole in the shoe is removable. The following insole is included with the shoe: Air-Active, this insole consists of a Drysole bottom layer and a soft top layer. This provides cushioning and the right climate in the shoe.

MFSystem

Meindl’s MFSystem means Memory Foam System: this means that the insole of the shoe adapts 100% to your foot and therefore excellent comfort. This is due to the specially designed foam combination that accurately adapts to the shape of the foot due to body temperature.

Good maintenance for these shoes

It is advisable to impregnate your hiking boots with a water-repellent spray before using them for the first time, which is suitable for leather shoes with a leather lining. When purchasing a pair of hiking boots at our store, we do this the first time.

You can feed the nubuck leather of this Island Lady MFS Active with a conditioner or wax. Over time, when using a waxed agent, the leather will look like smooth leather. If desired, brushing with a nubuck brush restores the nubuck structure of the leather. Regular treatment of the leather is recommended.

Cleaning the hiking boots

First clean your shoes with a soft brush or lukewarm water and then let them air dry. A heater or hair dryer is strongly discouraged! Also rinse the inside of your shoes once in a while. This way you remove the salt crystals from perspiration and the membrane will retain its breathable properties. Air drying is also recommended after this. If necessary, fill with kitchen paper or newspaper to aid the drying process. Always follow the instructions of your chosen maintenance product carefully.

Meindl Identity

The Ticino Identity is part of Meindl’s Identity series. This means that the shoe has been produced sustainably. For the Identity series, Meindl works with organic farms and with the German tannery Heinen, which invests part of their profits in reforestation. Each shoe of the Identity series is numbered with a unique code. If you enter the code on the Meindl website , you can see exactly where the leather of your shoe comes from.

materials

bioleather

The outer material of the Meindl Tessin Identity consists of high-quality organic leather. The organic leather comes from cows from certified organic farms that have been outside all year round and are not fed concentrates. The leather of these cows is therefore thicker and more robust and therefore very nice material to use in walking shoes.

Chrome-free leather

The lining of the Tessin Identity is made of chrome-free leather. Leather is often tanned using chromium-containing minerals. People who are sensitive to chromium can suffer from allergic contact dermatitis when they come into contact with this leather. Chrome-free leather is tanned without the use of chromium-containing minerals. Hikers with an allergy to chromium will therefore not suffer from contact eczema when wearing the Meindl Tessin Identity.

GORE-TEX ®

The Meindl Tessin Identity contains a GORE-TEX ® membrane. The GORE-TEX ® membrane ensures that the hiking boots are waterproof, but still breathable. This keeps your feet dry while walking.

insole

The Tessin Identity has a removable insole from Meindl. This insole contributes to extra walking comfort and is also available separately. We also sell custom insoles that provide extra support.

Maintenance

To ensure that your hiking boots last as long as possible, it is important that you maintain your hiking boots properly. Would you like to know more about how to best maintain these shoes? Then read our page: ‘ How do I maintain my walking shoes?’ .

Outsole

Like many other hiking boots, the Tessin Identity has a VIBRAM ® outsole. Vibram soles are known for their high quality and durability and are therefore often used in hiking boots. The soles ensure a good transition of the foot. The midsole provides good cushioning. The profile of the sole has been developed in such a way that it provides good grip on different surfaces. In addition, the profile of the sole is self-cleaning. This means that the sole does not retain sludge and soil. Because the soles are wear-resistant, they last longer than other soles.

If the sole of your hiking boots is worn, they need to be replaced. Worn soles are a risk when walking. Because the profile of the sole disappears, the grip decreases and you slip faster. It’s just difficult to say goodbye to walking shoes that fit perfectly and with which beautiful trips have been made. Especially if you have always maintained your shoes well, the upper material of the shoe will last longer than the sole. The walking shoes may still look fine, but because the sole is worn out, they are no longer used for walks. With a heavy heart, hikers say goodbye to their favorite shoes. The big advantage of the Tessin Identity is that the shoes can be resoled. So if the soles of this hiking shoe wear out in the future, you don’t have to throw them away. We at Antilope Outdoor offer you a service to have your shoes resoled. If you bring or send your shoes in, we can help you breathe new life into the Tessin Identity.
