I have the Meindl Denali and Perfekt hunter boots. Tried the Alaskans out and the Denail fit my foot better. Pretty much the same boot minus a little insulation and one inch of height. Both boots have been great. No leaks. The Denali's are a great mountain boot (or for anything that involves walking
)
I found Meindl's to have a wider forefoot. The Hanwag, Lowa, and Scarpa boots I've tried all rub on the side of my right big toe. With the Meindl's I have no issues. Awesome boots!!
