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.

"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."

I have had three pairs of meindl walkers, two pairs of meindl chukkas, and now a pair of light hikers spanning many years. One pair of walkers and the new light hikers are still in use. Every pair I have owned make my feet happy even after walking all day. FANTASTIC footwear. The light hikers are the same very comfortable.
Thanks for your wonderful products.
I have worn ******* light hikers for years and just now bought a pair of the vakuum light hikers. I love these so far!
Love the quality of these boots. Very comfortable fit and well made. No break in period needed for me. They were comfortable from the second I laced them up.
Very comfortable out of the box.
Very comfortable, excellent support

At Meindl we know that quality boots are a significant investment. That is why we are so committed to educating our customers on the best methods of care to make sure your boots continue to perform at their peak and last for years to come.
All Meindl Boots come out of the factory treated and ready for you to get out. However, if you want to ensure the boots are in peak condition from the moment you hit the field you can give them a quick treatment with our Meindl Wet Proof and let that sit for 24 hours and then apply Meindl Sport Wax.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT heat Sport Wax before applying. Doing so can cause it to penetrate too deep and impair the leather’s breathability and wearing comfort. DO NOT apply oils or grease on any of our boots. There are two reasons: First, oil and grease products can cause boots to lose strength and stability. Second, oil or grease will migrate throughout the leather which can cause the rand and outsoles to delaminate from the boot.
Quality boots deserve care and attention. Read our full article to learn how to maintain your Meindl boots from beginning to end.
