Review Meindl's size guide below to identify the correct size of boot for your feet.

Guaranteed dry feet

The classic profile belies the high-tech design inside these versatile, lightweight hikers. Soft foam pads and MFS Vakuum foam panels lining the nubuck leather uppers form a solid grip that locks feet into place to create a custom-like fit. Spring showers, summer dew, fall frosts – whatever the weather does, you’re ensured dry feet thanks to 100% waterproof Gore-Tex linings throughout. Air-Active foam/fleece footbeds adapt to your feet for sole-soothing comfort. Meindl’s Multigrip rubber outsole is perfect for on-trail hiking and off-trail exploring alike. Made in Europe

"Made for springtime treks and summer overnights in the backcountry with the perfect blend of support and comfort. From the first lace-up, these hikers wear like your favorite, broken-in boot. If you’re looking for one pair of everyday hiking boots, you’ve found your match."

    Very Comfortable

    Got these boots to wear as my everyday boot, and they are great. Very comfortable as expected and they look great s well. I ordered a half size down from my usual & they fit great.

    MFS-Vakuum Light Hiker. Tried all the big name, expensive work boots!

    Most comfortable Meindl’s yet. First pair of this model and I want another pair just for everyday use. These are my 12 pair of Meindls, and my 7th different model. I am a 63 year old, 45 year carpenter/construction worker. I buy em for work boots and they outperform and outlast every other brand I’ve ever tried. I was really bummed when Cabella’s stopped selling them, and really thankful when I found out about Meindl USA. Worth every penny! By the way, all my old beat up Meindl’s are still good enough for workin in the yard, cutting wood and whatever else. Thanks!

    Well crafted boots, but

    I currently own three pairs of meindl boots, ( comfort fit, Utah light, vakuum light ) and each is a different size. It’s easier to crack nuclear code, than to order meindl boots that fit properly. It’s a shame because they they build good boots but, will not budge off their flawed sizing. Time to travel a different path.
