An innovative, 3-4 season mountain boot. Perfect for year-round hill walking and mountain treks below the snowline.
Meindl’s Vakuum GTX is a tough, comfortable boot, perfect for mountain treks.
The Memory Foam System (MFS) allows the Vakuum GTX to mould around your foot leaving you with a capability to keep your feet secure and supported without risk of rubbing.
The Gore-Tex waterproof lining provides you with protection from the weather while allowing great ventilation around your foot making sure you don't feel clammy or wet in warmer/wetter conditions or when you start to put effort in for that final push.
The cuff on the boot is padded for extra ankle support and the Multigrip Vibram sole, ideal for muddy, varied and rough terrain. At 800g per boot, the Vakuum is lightweight and ready to get to the top of any peak.

Third Meindls and second GTXs in a row. Despite heavy use, the construction lasts me about 10 years. Eventually the sole comes off its base so that it cannot be replaced. The heel is easy to repair. The shoemaker puts a wedge in it for a couple of decades when the heel is worn out. The Goretex membrane lasts the entire life of the shoe and your feet don't get wet, even if the shoe is wet on the outside for a day. It is stiff and made for rocky terrain. My experience is based on alpine trips, Finnish dangerous slopes, ridges and daily city walks. I like the stiffness and the fact that the shoe has a heel that raises your hip when walking. Doesn't tire you all day. The hardness of the Vibram sole of this model is hard. As a result, it is surprisingly slippery in winter snow. The only downside. I compare the hardness to Meindl's approach shoes, which have exactly the same Vibram, but so soft that you walk on them smooth in two years.

Decent shoes. Buy m (half) a size bigger though. Same size (old) Meindls are no guarantee these will fit as well.
