The Respond GTX is a lightweight do-it-all shoe suited to everyday leisure & light hiking. The fabric & leather uppers are lined with Gore-Tex for breathable waterproof protection & feature a reinforced toe bumper. Meindl have teamed up with Conta Grip (who make sole units for Salomon) to produce a lightweight & low profile, yet grippy sole unit. The thing that you notice about the Respond though is just how comfortable they are straight out of the box. A good rounded toe box & a roomy fit suit just about all feet making them one of our most popular walking shoes.
