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."

    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.

    Amazing break in

    The boots were impressive out of the box and fit well, but clearly I knew that they would take some break in. While I didn't think I would need to send them back, I did follow Meindl's recommendations to wear them in the house. I laced them up wearing my "go to" socks and have worn them for a week. Amazing how quickly these things began to feel like a perfect/broken in fit.
