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."

    Poor Quality

    I bought a pair of Meindls that Cabrlas was selling back in 2010 and they lasted over 12 years through countless training treks and actual hunting trips. Was very pleased with them. When it was time to retire them I. bought the ******* Hunters thinking it was a good design with the rubber piece around the outside. Boy was I wrong . After the elk hunting trip the rubber piece was already peeling away on one boot I contacted Meindel and they had me send them in for repair which was fine. However I went on another hunting elk trip after I received the repaired boots back and the rubber piece came off both boots this time. Now I’m questioning what my next boot will be. Very disappointing…….

    Great Boots

    Over the last couple of years, I have been trying multiple boots. All of them have given me heal slip. I called Meindl and shared what boots I had been using. I was told the Meindl Vakuum had a deeper heal cup and I wouldn’t have any heal slip. When the boots arrived and I tried them on, it was a wow moment. I cannot believe how these boots contour to my feet. I haven’t worn them a lot, but I am very happy with them so far.

    Standing behind their boots 👍

    I have worn Meindl boots for the last decade and have been very happy with the quality and workmanship. I recently had a pair of boots that developed a problem. I contacted customer service and got an immediate response. The boots were shipped to a Meindl qualified cobbler who examined the boots and recommended replacement. The replacement pair arrived a few days later. Thanks for standing behind your product.

    Great as always!

    Very comfortable, superior build. I’ve been wearing Meindl boots for over twenty years and they are my favorite above other brands I’ve tried. The Vakuum fits great. Fast shipping too!
