The Meindl Caracas GTX are waterproof walking shoes made from premium Nubuck leather by family owned shoemaker Meindl. This is a German manufactured model and will offer years of wear thanks to durable leather uppers and strong Vibram sole unit. The style is very appropriate for town and travel use. However, the sole is deep enough to offer good grip on countryside paths and trails. This together with Gore-Tex membrane which gives great protection in all weather conditions make Meindl Caracas.
