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

    Great boot!

    These boots fit great right out of the box. I used to wear romeos and my feet started hurting even though the size was right. When I switched to the Meindle's the support has corrected all of my foot problems.

    High quality and comfort

    This is my 4th pair of Meindl boots and the quality on each has been outstanding (I get about 2-years of daily wear per pair). I do like this pair over the light hikers for the extra height and lace hooks. These are my "daily drivers" and feel more like comfortable slippers than hiking boots. The treads can shed clay mud (and doggy doo-doo) while providing reliable traction. My overall experience with Meindl boots is that they deliver quality and performance. They are worth the $$.

    Vakuum Light Hikers

    Last September I went hunting in Colorado wearing my old Italian made boots from a different brand that I have had for 10 years. I hiked over 25 miles and every time I stopped I had to take my shoes off because my feet were hurting. I think over the years, 72 to be exact, my feet has widened causing me to have problems with those boots. The tightness on the ball of my feet caused my middle toes on both feet to become numb for about three months. I decided I needed a new pair of boots. so I bought these Vakuum light hikers to give them a try back in October. They fit perfect right out of the box. Plenty of toe room so now I have no issues when I am hiking, working in the woods, climbing hills. I love these boots! I decided to wait for about six months before I gave a review. If they hold up into next Fall before Christmas, I am going to order my two son in laws boots from Meindl. I will get them two pairs of boots and they can try them on and figure out which ones they like and I'll send the others back to Meindl and not be charged extra. Thanks again for a great product - my feet are feeling wonderful. My toes are wiggling again!
