My new Hiking shoe Meindl Ventilator 7000

I have been using Montrail for ten years and at least I had used and worn off 40 pairs of Montrail during my last ten year hiking, until this year that Montrial had no sales agent in HK, So I have to find another shoe for my hiking.. Now this is the Meindl Ventilator 7000.  Once I had inserted my foot into the shoe and I could  immediatley I feel that this is probably the right shoe I am looking for after Montrail.
From the website this is the comment on this shoe...of course we will use other proper insole for replacement of his original filmsy insole...in order to prevent our foot to get premature tireiness. It is in sales at Protrek Hong Kong, since I am a gold member that I can entitle less 20% discount.. that would be a good deal for me...

TGO Rating: 5 stars (Best Buy)
Here, I’ll refer you back to the La Sportiva Trango review and those promised contradictions and subjective choices. Meindl’s Ventilator 7000 is the antithesis of the superb La Sportiva shoe: it’s light, has a very flexible sole and upper, and is super-cool due to its mesh upper and absence of a waterproof/breathable membrane.
And I love it to bits. If TGO ordered me back to the Pacific Crest Trail for six months (“Oh no, please… oh, okay then…”) this is the shoe I’d choose, of all the models featured here. While heel support is good, the rest of the shoe is what I’d called “relaxed” and pretty much lets your foot behave naturally (though not to the degree of the Hawkshead Cedar reviewed on page 95). There is room for improvement – I found my feet tired early in the Ventilator, and replacing the flimsy insole with a stiffer anatomical insole should ease that considerably.
