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."

    Meindl does not disappoint

    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.

    Very comfortable

    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.
