The Vakuum Sport III GTX is perfect for extended tours and comfortable hiking in light alpine terrain. The integrated MFS Vakuum® foam adapts precisely and above all pressure-free to any foot shape in the ankle and strap area. The GORE-TEX heel lining, which is constructed without seams, is particularly impressive here. The AIR-ACTIVE® Vakuum® footbed also adapts to the foot thanks to a combination of foam and fleece, while also providing excellent support. Thanks to the so-called Heelcuff Freeflex system, the entire cuff is also more elastic: a separate stretch zone is integrated in the heel area. It fits snugly, but is still absolutely pressure-free. The Meindl Multigrip® 3 from
Vibram® with PU cushioning wedge provides a secure grip.

Meindl Size Chart
Note: Meindl mainly uses EU and UK sizing in its technical product information. Different lasts, features and constructions can cause models with the same labelled size to fit slightly differently. The size selection shown directly on the individual product page takes priority.

How to Measure and Try the Footwear
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1. Measure in the Afternoon | Feet become slightly larger during the day. Measure and try footwear in the afternoon or evening where possible. |
| 2. Wear the Correct Socks | Measure and try the footwear with the hiking, winter or trekking socks you intend to use. |
| 3. Check Both Feet | Measure both feet and select the size based on the longer foot. |
| 4. Set the Heel Back | Push the heel back, centre the tongue and lace the footwear correctly. |
| 5. Check Toe Room | A correctly fitting hiking boot needs approximately 1 cm of toe room; the toes must not touch the front when walking downhill. |
| 6. Check More Than Length | Width, heel hold, instep and overall volume must also match the shape of the foot. |
Choosing a size: Meindl does not recommend automatically adding a full shoe size. Foot length, toe room, heel hold, width and the volume of the individual model are decisive. When in doubt, also test the next larger size during fitting.
Not every EU, UK or US size is available for every model. Women's, kids', Comfort fit® and extended sizes vary by product.
