Review Meindl's size guide below to identify the correct size of boot for your feet.

personalized-fit women's hiking and hunting boot for trail hikers and backcountry hunters who want MFS Vakuum® memory foam comfort in a durable all-terrain platform built for serious three-season use.

The Lady MFS Vakuum Hiker brings Meindl's most distinctive fit technology to a women's hiking and hunting boot built for serious all-terrain use. MFS Vakuum® memory foam gradually molds to the precise shape of your foot over time, eliminating pressure points, reducing fatigue, and building a personalized fit that improves every time you lace up. No other boot fits quite like this.

At 7 inches with a full grain nubuck leather upper, the Lady MFS Vakuum Hiker is built tough enough for the terrain most people never see. Technical trail hiking. Off-trail mountain country. Early-season hunting where the ground is wet, the approach is long, and the boot needs to perform across all of it. B medium flex rating delivers the responsive support that varied terrain demands, and DiGAfix® lacing holds your heel firmly in place across steep descents and uneven ground.

Gore-Tex® waterproof lining handles wet conditions reliably across morning dew, creek crossings, and unexpected rain. The Vibram® outsole delivers the grip that technical hiking and hunting terrain demands on wet rock, rooted trail, and the mixed surfaces that serious outdoor use covers. Handcrafted in Germany on a standard last with an Air Active insole, the Lady MFS Vakuum Hiker is the women's all-terrain boot for the woman who pushes into demanding country and wants a boot that belongs there.

No intentionally added 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.

"Proven performers designed for early to mid-season hunts that take hunters from open fields up into the dark timber. Mid-high uppers provide good ankle support, yet don’t pinch or bite, even when cinched tight, thanks to the inner MFS Vakuum foam booties. The result, one of the most comfortable, hardcore hunting boots available for women today."

    Lady MFS-Vakuum Hiker

    Not sure yet. Prior Mendel boots lasted well. New boots are experiencing separation near the heel with the sole, after just a couple weeks of casual wear. Time to see Meindel service/repair.

    Disappointed

    This was the third pair of this boot that I have bought. The first pair was bought in Spain, and I'd never spent so much on a shoe, but I put them on and wore them for the rest of my trip, walking all over Barcelona. I had them resoled twice and then I bought a second pair from you, that you had to order from Germany. They got resoled once, and they were starting to get a little bit stiff and they needed a new sole, so I decided to buy a new pair. My first disappointment was that there were no ball bearings in the eyelets. Ok, not a biggie. I wore the boots around my house, they were comfortable, so I started wearing them on my daily walks (on dirt and paved roads for 2 miles). One spot on the top of my right foot was uncomfortable, but I kept wearing the boots hoping that the boot would start feeling better. Unfortunately that hasn't happened; it actually got a little worse. I wore another pair of shoes yesterday, and I will wait a few days before I put the boots back on. So, I am disappointed; clearly not just the eyelets have changed.

    If you guys have any suggestions, let me know.

    Meindl Sizing: Spot On or Too Snug?

    followed their sizing guide to a T, but they feel a bit tight out of the box. The fit’s snug, especially around the toes—hoping they’ll break in. Quality seems solid, though, and they look ready for the trails. I’ll test them on a hike soon and see how they hold up. Fingers crossed the fit loosens up with some wear!"

    Great boot

    Great boot. Well made. Last pair lasted about 8 years. This is the second pair.
