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 with PFAS chemicals.

Sizing Guidelines

If you’ve never worn this boot before,
Our recommendation is to order a whole 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.

"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."

    Amazing!!!

    My son used these right out of the box on our hunting trip in Eastern Oregon. No superfeet insoles needed. Rugged, grippy and nimble. I watched as he maneuvered through the numerous downfall laden trails. Up and down the ridge we went with no issues at all. He kept saying how great these shoes performed! Super comfortable. A forestry guy said that Meindl was the best as we searched for shoes at Bakers and REI. I’m so glad we took his advice!!! Decided to order online…shipping was quick.

    Comfortable right out of the box

    Tried these boots out for the first time. The fit was perfect, comfortable, and good ankle support. Time will tell all things. So far so good.

    MFS Vakuum Light Hiker

    So far so good, I have only worn them to work & church, but the boots feel great on my feet. Sizing was spot on & i really like the toe bed which allows all my toes to spread out on every step the way it should be. That helps with my toes going numb & allows for better circulation. I look forward to getting out in the woods for hiking & hunting. I'm confident that they will hold up well & provide the support that i need.

    Very comfortable

    The Light Hiker is exactly what I was looking for. It's visually conservative and substantially made. I am a design engineer and these are perfect for trips to construction sites.

    Trust the sizing recommendations of customer service. I went with their advice and my new boots fit perfectly.
