Hunting Boots & Cold-Weather Gear Engineered for All Terrain

Every serious hunter knows the feeling—feet going numb on a pre-dawn hike into the backcountry, hunting boots that turn into soggy dead weight after crossing a creek, or insulation that fails the second temperatures hit single digits.

Standard hunting gear simply can't handle what real hunters demand from it. Whether you're posting up for whitetail before first light, chasing elk through the Rockies at 10,000 feet, or putting in dawn-to-dusk days where comfort isn't optional—it's what keeps you effective.

That's why we engineered Hillman hunting boots and technical apparel—gear built to perform when failure isn't an option. Featuring NASA-grade Aerogel insulation, Vibram Arctic Grip outsoles, and waterproof protection tested to -22°F, Hillman delivers the performance advantage serious hunters need in the field.

Hillman®

Invented to Elevate Your Hunt

About us

We've been building hunting gear for 20 years, and let's be real—there's a lot of junk out there. Boots that fall apart halfway through the season. Jackets that leak the second you need them. "High-performance" insulation that leaves you standing there freezing your ass off. We got tired of dealing with it. So we started Hillman to build gear the right way.

We don't design this stuff in some office and hope it works. Every piece gets hammered in the field first. Sub-zero mornings. Long days through punishing terrain. The kind of conditions that destroy most gear. If it can't handle it, it doesn't make the cut.

Take our hunting boots. Aerogel insulation—the same technology NASA developed for space missions—combined with Vibram Arctic Grip soles that actually grip on ice. Italian leather. A 1mm steel cable lacing system that won't fail. These aren't gimmicks. They're solutions to real problems every serious hunter faces.

Our goal is simple: make gear that performs. Keep you warm when it's brutal cold. Keep you dry when it's pouring. Give you traction when it's slick as ice. Let you stay focused on the hunt instead of fighting with failing gear.

That's Hillman®. No BS. Just gear that does the job

Your Questions Answered

Absolutely. Every pair features a waterproof membrane that keeps your feet bone dry in serious weather—heavy rain, creek crossings, swampy terrain, muddy trails. We've tested them in everything from Montana thunderstorms to soggy Pacific Northwest conditions. Your feet stay completely dry.
They run true to US sizing. If you normally wear a size 10, order a 10. The design accounts for thick hunting socks without feeling cramped. If you're between sizes or have wider feet, go up half a size for comfort.
Absolutely. The NASA-grade Aerogel insulation keeps your feet warm in temperatures down to -22°F, while the Vibram Arctic Grip soles provide excellent traction on ice and frozen ground. Whether you're hunting whitetail in a late-season Minnesota cold snap or chasing elk in the high Rockies, these boots are built for it.
A bit, yes. The Italian leather needs a few wears to properly mold to your feet. Wear them around for a few days before heading out on a long hunt. Nothing excessive—just enough to soften the leather and get them dialed in.
Clean off mud and dirt after each hunt. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat—never put them by a heater or fire. Condition the leather every few months with a quality leather conditioner. Take care of them and they'll last for years.
Absolutely. They're engineered for full days in the backcountry—hiking through rough terrain, crossing streams, climbing steep ridges. The support and cushioning hold up over long distances. Your feet won't be killing you after a 10-mile day.
One year warranty against manufacturing defects. If there's an issue with materials or craftsmanship, we'll replace or repair it. Normal wear and tear isn't covered—these are hunting boots built for serious use in the field.
