Meindl's Best Selling Go-Anywhere Uninsulated Hunting Boot

Thanks to an innovative boot-within-a-boot design, these high-country mountain hunting boots wrap your feet stabilizing comfort. Inside the full grain nubuck leather uppers, MFS Vakuum foam panels form to the shape of your feet, ensuring a perfect fit without uncomfortably tights pressure points common in lesser-made technical boots. Special stretch Gore-Tex, waterproof linings do away with standard heal seams, eliminating yet another potential blister-forming hot spot. Between the Air-Active insoles and gripping Vibram Alpin outsoles, polyurethane midsoles push you through each step while allowing for the addition of soft crampons. Also available in a women's style Lady Vakuum® GTXMade in Germany

Sizing Guidelines

If you’ve never worn this boot before,
Our recommendation is to order half (1/2) a size down from your Brannock measurement or current U.S. size. Click HERE to find your Brannock measurement.

If you have worn this boot before,
Our recommendation is to order the same size you’re currently wearing.

"Vakuum Hunter boots will carry you to the top of the mountain in all but the most difficult terrain. While the stiff uppers provide maximum ankle support when climbing, the inner reticulated foam booties deliver a solid, foot-gripping fit and feel for comfort and stability. Uninsulated, yet fully waterproof, they’re a solid choice for high-country hunts that could take you well past the timberline and into the rocks above."

    Hunting boot.

    This is my 4th pair of this boot. I have been wearing them for at least the last 15 to 20 years. Every one fits just like the last one. I don’t think the quality can be beat. The new pair that I just purchased are built exactly the same as the first pair that I purchased. The last pair I still use will be backup for the new ones. My old pair have at least a 1,000 miles on them and the souls are still good. The toes are beat up from the blackberry braiers. And now have started to leak. Only boot that I will buy for hunting.

    Another great pair of boots

    After over 10 years and hundreds of rugged miles of use my old Meindl Denali hunting boots lost their soles. I was pleased to find the Vakkum hunter retains all the good qualities of my old Denali boots with an improved sole. The Vakkums are comfortable out of the box. I took them on a three day hunt to wear them in. i’m very happy to walk for miles in these. The new sole is a tad stiffer and offers more protection than my old Denali’s. Still at the same time they maintaining a level of suppleness important for stalking wary white tails. This is my fourth pair of Meindl boots I am very satisfied with every pair I have owned.

    Great fit and support right out of the box

    Received my pair of 11.5 D's early this week and have put 8 hours of tough bird mountainous terrain under them already. Temps are 18F in the early am, and rise to 38F later mornings. Rocks, mush, mud, puddles, brush, sand, soggy hillsides - no matter. Boots feel great in all conditions, but today I was crossing some steep wet rocks and was a bit concerned I would slip and fall -- did not happen! Those soles gripped perfectly and the uppers' construction was technical enough to keep this hunter upright and moving. Really impressed with this boot!

    Great boots in look and comfort. Only "complaint" is that they eyeholes are not equally placed on both boots resulting in one boot having a significantly shorter lace once laced up.
