The Veneto GORE-TEX is a womens wide fit trail boot from Meindl, excellent for those with wider feet.
As part of the Comfort-Fit range, introduced to offer an easier, comfier wear, the Veneto GORE-TEX provide a supportive yet relaxed fit. Crafted by hand in Meindl’s German factory, the Veneto GORE-TEX is made from waxed Nubuck leather providing a classic style alongside durability and protection against abrasion. With the addition of a GORE-TEX lining the boot is fully waterproof and breathable. The Comfort-Fit footbed is made from cork and is more supportive than the standard footbed. It gives a wider surface area to stand on allowing for more movement of the toes and around the flex point, whilst keeping a firm hold around the heel. Adorned with a fleece lining this footbed makes the Veneto undeniably comfy and perfect for all day use.
Complete with a Meindl Comfort Hiker II sole, giving fantastic traction on a variety of surfaces, the Veneto GORE-TEX is ideal for country walks and light hiking.

We know our customers like to know exactly what they're buying; we're not going to sugar coat it, but we are going to explain it.

The Meindl Women's Veneto GORE-TEX Walking Boots - Brown has the following sustainability attributes...
Leather production has a significant impact on the planet, using excessive amounts of water and polluting it with harmful chemicals. Certain organisations and producers are making efforts to reduce the environmental impact of leather production on the planet, such as non-profits like the Leather Working Group, who have been auditing the leather manufacturing process from tanneries to retailers since 2005, and Perwanger, a quality leather producer prioritizing the environment
Products using natural fibres can range from cotton to wool to hemp and silk - but by being naturally made, they will also naturally biodegrade at their end of lifecycle. Even if you have a natural fibre product, it can probably still be recycled or repurposed before being disposed of. However, if it truly has reached the end of its use, natural fibres need air to biodegrade so please don't dispose of them in landfill.
By recycling fabrics, we are not only stopping extra waste heading to landfill but also reducing the need for virgin fabrics to be created. Recycled fabrics can be anything from recycled polyester to recycled cotton and where recycled cotton is used, it's often offcuts from factory floors that would otherwise end up in landfill.
This brand manufactures over 80% of its products in the country of its headquarters, which has many benefits both for the environment and for workers. Local production means less CO2 emissions, more control over working conditions, and helps to boost the local economy.

Was recommended for lightness but is it wide-fitting please?
Asked Chris from Lancashire, EnglandThis item can be returned by post or to your nearest Tiso Group store – for more details see our Returns Policy.
True to size, excellent support&great comfort. Laces have been shortened from its predecessor model. In spite of wide fit it's on the tight side if wearing proper thick socks. Still: highly recommend.
Low ankle support lets down this otherwise excellent boot
