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

Made with PFAS chemicals

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."

    Boots for the mountains of southern Utah.

    Great, highly quality boots. Great for the mountainous, land rock terrain of southern Utah. Can’t be happier with how they are in every category of what makes a quality boot. I’ve been on three hikes/dog training sessions in the mountains. Highly recommend.

    Worth every penny

    I have used these boots for the last year in all different terrains and conditions from sweltering summer hikes climbing heights to cool autumn walks enjoying the outdoors and frigid winter hunts in swampy areas. The MFS-Vakuum Hunter boots have preformed flawlessly and exceed expectations.

    Great boots that makes you buy again

    Bought for my dad for his birthday gift as he has been wearing his old Meindl boots for 8 years. He says the new pair is comfortable and well made.

    20 years and still going

    I have hunted for 50 years and had numerous high level boots. These are by far the best boot for comfort, durability, great traction, waterproof, etc. The Germans are too proud to sell a poor quality product.

    Most comfortable boots right out of the box

    This is my 3rd pair of Meindl boots! Really like the placement of the speed laces so that I can get them on easily. No break-in period for them to be comfortable. So happy to be able to find them again since many retailers don't stock them.
