I have had 5 pairs of Meindl Alaskan Hunters all bought in the early 2000’s And I am down to one left. I’ve also worn Lowa Tibets and various Asolo boots. It looks like Meindl quality may be down a bit (I could live with that) but more importantly the model is no longer available. Does anybody have a recommendation for a boot that fits like the old Meindls?
 
Schnee's Beartooth or Granite are what I'd look at if you were trying to duplicate the old Meindls.

Granite is stiffer, you can get either uninsulated or insulated.
 
I was in the exact same boat as you and I now have a pair of the granite's. They don't fit my foot quite as well as I feel that the meindl's did, but that is just a personal preference and they are definitely a quality boot.
 
I’m interested in this, as I have a pair of meindls I need to replace. I bought them in 2011 from cabelas. My holdup is not being able to try them on before purchasing. What are the quality issues you know/heard about?
