Meindl Pro Provider are very good tactical boots that offer comfort, low weight, and solid construction. In my opinion, they are better than the Lowa Z6/Zephyr MK2 and Salomon Quest 4 Forces, especially if you value stability and wearing comfort. Their only drawback is that they are a bit too warm for summer.
Meindl Provider Pro GTX Boots - Brown
Lightweight and durable tactical boots that, thanks to the breathable Gore-Tex membrane, provide comfort in various conditions. The upper is made of suede cowhide leather and mesh from Cordura, ensuring durability and resistance to damage.
Active Air insole, Gore-Tex membrane
The sweat-resistant Active Air insoles ensure proper air circulation, enhancing comfort during prolonged use. The high upper effectively stabilizes the ankle and minimizes pressure. The inner Gore-Tex membrane, combined with 24 ventilation openings, wicks away excess moisture, protects against soaking, and helps maintain hygiene.
efficient lacing system
The well-thought-out lacing system includes 3 pairs of metal hooks, 3 pairs of textile loops, and 1 pair of metal eyelets, allowing for quick and precise adjustment of the footwear. The tongue integrated with the upper effectively limits water ingress, and the textile loop ensures its stable positioning.
Multigrip G4 Sole with EVA Insole, Contoured Tread
The Meindl Multigrip G4 slip-resistant, antistatic outsole is equipped with a deep, contoured tread that provides stability and excellent grip on various surfaces. The sole is durable, resistant to abrasion, and does not react with gasoline, oils, greases, or diluted acids. The EVA foam insole provides optimal cushioning, increasing comfort during long movements in demanding terrain.
EN ISO 20347:2012 Standard, SRC Class
The Provider PRO GTX model meets the requirements of the EN ISO 20347:2012 standard for work shoes and the SRC class for slip resistance of the sole.

Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
EVA is a lightweight foam made of plastic characterized by flexibility and durability, as well as good resistance to chemicals and moisture. It is widely used in the production of clothing, footwear and accessories.
Gore-Tex is a thin membrane made of polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), which features a microporous structure. Its structure makes it highly water- and wind-resistant, as well as breathable. The membrane's pores are 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor, which allows it to efficiently wick moisture to the outside. Gore-Tex is widely used in the production of outdoor clothing and footwear.
Anti-sweat Active Air insoles provide adequate air circulation for increased comfort during activity.
EN ISO 20347:2012 is an international standard that specifies requirements for professional footwear for professional use. Footwear meeting this standard provides foot protection in the form of anti-slip, anti-static, shock-absorbing properties and resistance to oily and petroleum-based substances, but does not have to be equipped with a protective toecap. ISO certification confirms that the manufacturer meets certain standards for personal protective equipment.
SRC class is a designation used in international safety standards for safety footwear (EN ISO 20345) and occupational footwear (EN ISO 20347) that defines the highest level of slip resistance. In order for footwear to receive the SRC classification, it must simultaneously meet the requirement of SRA - slip resistance on a ceramic base coated with a sodium lauryl sulfate solution (a strong detergent), and SRB - slip resistance on a steel base coated with glycerol (an oily surface).

The shoes are excellent in terms of quality and comfort. The only minor drawback is the lack of a heel loop that would make putting the shoes on easier (I have this feature in Lowa and Salomon shoes). The sole and tread are top-notch, and an additional big plus for the lacing – the foot is very stable.
