Caring for Fabric & Suede Footwear

Caring for Fabric & Suede Footwear

Like other leathers, suede needs treating regularly with a leather conditioning spray to maintain water repellancy and help prevent the suede from drying out and cracking. It is also important to treat fabric footwear to help prevent it from absorbing water and 'wicking' it into the boots.

Meindl's Conditioner and Proofer spray or Grangers Footwear Repel Plus Spray is ideal. The solution will soak into the fabric and help prevent the fabric from absorbing water. When used on suede, the sprays will also condition and nourish the suede.

It can sometimes help to apply the spray while the suede is slightly damp as the solution can penetrate into the leather more easily. Allow to dry naturally away from sources of heat.

Proper maintenance and care is a requirement of the manufacturers warranty.

Good, but weak point in the heel

These are my fifth pair of this shoe, absolutely love them, all round footwear, from dog walking on the coastal paths to going down the pub, however, every pair always eventually hole on the heel wear the gortex sock meets the upper, come on miendl sort thus one recurring problem out and get 5 stars

Excellent

I have just received my second pair of Respond GTX shoes. I can honestly recommend these to anyone who wants a waterproof, and supportive walking shoe. I went up a half size, as my last pair were initially a little tight and caused blistering. Instead of my usual size 9 I opted for a 9.5, and I am so happy with the fit, particularly the width.
My last pair lasted 9 months before they began to leak, and show signs of 'wear and tear'. During that time I walked my dog every single day, often in pouring rain, sleet and snow, between 3-5 miles a day over hilly off-road paths. All in all, this is what I expected, and a testament, to how well made these shoes are.
They are comfortable and well suited to general hiking. And lastly, they are in my opinion, 'good looklng'.

Size and quality deteriorated

I am on my third pair of. Meindl Respond GTX Walking Shoes The last two were the best ever for comfort so I purchased the exact size and model again
The manufacturer has changed the sizing as I cannot break these in and after trying over the last 9 months they still hurt my feet and leave blisters
It is a shame but never again will I get a pair of these shoes
