materials

Nubuck leather

The outer material of the Vakuum Men Fit II Weit is made of nubuck leather. Nubuck leather comes from the lightly sanded top layer of the animal skin. Sanding makes the leather feel softer, increases breathability and gives the leather a velvety appearance. Nubuck leather can be waxed, but it can also very well be left untreated. Waxing nubuck leather does make it darker, smoother and shinier. When you spray nubuck leather with a spray that contains wax, you treat this material in the best way.

GORE-TEX ®

The Vakuum Men Fit II White contains a GORE-TEX ® membrane. The GORE-TEX ® membrane ensures that these hiking boots are waterproof, yet breathable. This keeps your feet dry while walking.

wide last

The Vakuum Men Fit II Weit has a wide last. The wide last is suitable for people for whom the standard fit is too narrow in the front. The wide last has a normal width on the heel side, but is slightly wider on the forefoot side. This prevents annoying pressure points from developing in walkers with wider feet.

insole

The Vakuum Men Fit II Weit has a removable insole from Meindl. This insole contributes to extra walking comfort and is also available separately. We also sell custom insoles that provide extra support.

Outsole

The outsole developed by Meindl gives and ensures good grip and stability while walking. They ensure a good settlement of the foot. The profile of the sole has been developed in such a way that it gives a good grip and does not retain sludge or soil. The special profile on the toe and heel side provides more grip during ascent and descent.

If the sole of your hiking boots is worn, they need to be replaced. Worn soles are a risk when walking. Because the profile of the sole disappears, the grip decreases and you slip faster. It's just difficult to say goodbye to walking shoes that fit perfectly and with which beautiful trips have been made. Especially if you have always maintained your shoes well, the upper material of the shoe will last longer than the sole. The walking shoes may still look fine, but because the sole is worn out, they are no longer used for walks. With a heavy heart, hikers say goodbye to their favorite shoes. The big advantage of the Meindl Vakuum Men Fit II Weit is that they can be resoled. Like the soles of the Vakuum Men Fit II Weit are worn out in the future, so you don't have to throw them away. We are happy to offer the service of having your shoes resoled. Bring your shoes or send them to us. We can then see if we can provide them with a new, original outsole.
