The Meindl Jamaica GORE-TEX shoe

Let’s explore the features that make the Meindl Jamaica GORE-TEX shoe such a hit.

·        GORE-TEX technology

GORE-TEX technology ensures the Meindl Jamaica shoe is durably waterproof and breathable to keep your feet dry and comfortable. The technology allows sweat to escape while simultaneously keeping water out. This is thanks to the microscopic pores in the GORE-TEX membrane which are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet to prevent rain or snow getting in, but 700 times larger than a water vapour molecule (sweat) so the sweat can easily escape.

·        Velour and mesh upper

The velour and mesh upper makes the Meindl Jamaica shoe a lightweight option for low level walks and everyday wear. A UK size 4.5 shoe weighs just 340g.

·        Meindl’s Multigrip sole

Exceptional grip on mixed terrain is facilitated by the deep profile of Meindl’s Multigrip sole.

·        AIR-ACTIVE® cushioning

AIR-ACTIVE® footbed cushioning ventilates the air inside the shoe while redirecting unwanted moisture away for added dryness and comfort.

·        Low-cut upper

The low-cut upper provides the flexibility of a shoe with the secure sturdiness of a walking boot to instil confidence on different types of terrain.

·        Meindl category rating: A

Meindl rates its walking shoes and boots from A to D, based on the terrain that each product is most suitable for.

The Meindl Jamaica GORE-TEX walking shoe is rated Grade A which means it ‘will take you from the urban commute and a weekend city break, on to a trail walk and lower level path’. It is classified as a ‘truly multi-purpose’ shoe.

How to care for the Meindl Jamaica GORE-TEX walking shoe

To maintain the performance of any walking shoes or boots it is important to apply the appropriate care routine.

For the Meindl Jamaica shoe, a conditioning and proofing spray is recommended to keep the outer nubuck leather and suede protected. Treating the shoe when the velour and mesh uppers aren’t quite dry will help to retain their suppleness. Applying a small amount of wax to the hooks and eyelets will also provide protection against corrosion.
