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."

    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.

    New Boots

    I wanted to purchase a top end pair of boots to walk in the woods. And I wanted boots that are taller than my current ankle top synthetic boots. Lastly, I wanted them to be waterproof. I spent a lot of time researching various brands, but ultimately decided on the Meindl brand. With imput from the Meindl staff, I chose the Vakuum Hunter. At this point, all I can remark on is my initial experience. Craftsmanship seems excellent. Initial comfort is great. I've been wearing the boots to break them in, and have had no problems. There is no doubt in my mind that these boots will ultimately be the best pair of boots I've ever had.

    Best boots anywhere

    My second pair of Meindl hunter boots. First pair was over 30 years...still good but soles fell off 2 years ago. Never leaked, always comfortable, very supportive.

    Highly recommend.
