If you pass the Great Outdoors store in Dublin, you’ll see our Vakuum GTX leather walking boots. They are the stars of a seasonal advert encouraging walkers to head in-store and try our Meindl range.
With such a huge range to choose from, why did we settle on the Vakuum GTX to represent the brand? Nick from Meindl explains:
“They are a great pair of hillwalking boots. The Meindl memory foam moulds to your feet to give a customised fit and the Goretex lining means they are guaranteed waterproof. Their deep sole profile ensures stability and grip on the most challenging of surfaces. The size of the window meant we chose an image that communicates all of those technical features. We hope it entices people into the Great Outdoors store and inspires them to go and explore.”

Vakuum GTX review
There’s plenty of information about Vakuum GTX leather walking boots on our website and the Great Outdoors website, but what’s it like to wear them? Coolhikinggear.com has a really in-depth review ranging from out of the box first impressions to an update 10 months on. It’s well worth a read and full of excellent detail:
Starting with the insoles, they were very comfortable when I first put the boots on. Not too soft and not too hard so a good start! The insoles are removable and breathable using an ‘air-active sole’. It’s worth noting that specific insoles for these boots are available separately. How about that for a vote of confidence in the construction, they know you’re going to want new insoles long before the boots wear out.
