Ok here’s the deal, I’ve worn meindls my whole life, I have 6 pairs, (get them through work). I decided I wanted to try a much stiffer boot, the last couple years my approaches have been very very aggressive and the meindls wouldn’t side hill or toe in the way I wanted. After a pile of research I went out and bought some lasportiva Nepal exo gtx boots.... they are incredibly stiff, they make side hilling a joke and you can walk up a steep face like your on stairs, on flat ground they have a very nice rocker design so it’s smooth to walk not like ski boots or other mountaineering boots... my question is, is there any downside to wearing a boot that stiff for a multiple day trip, they are very comfortable also.
