THE LATEST GENERATION OF HUNTING BOOTS PERFECTION
ALPHA AEROGEL 2.0 HUNTING BOOTS
We didn't settle for good out in the field - we pushed boundaries. We took already exceptional boots and infused them with the latest tech, raising the bar to a level that defines true excellence. These aren't just hunting boots; they're a testament to unwavering dedication and a promise of unmatched performance.
RELIABLE ON ICE AND FROZEN SURFACES
Now, with the most innovative ARCTIC GRIP™ outsoles by Vibram®, you will have the perfect traction, not only on mud but even on ice and frozen surfaces.
The outsoles are also mud-proof and keep mud and debris from sticking to your boots. The rubber is formulated to have superior cohesion to almost any surface.
Now, there’s nowhere you can’t go!
WORLD'S STRONGEST FIBER FOR UTMOST DURABILITY AND COMFORT
Dyneema stands as the pinnacle of strength, surpassing even steel and Kevlar. Renowned as the world's strongest fiber, it combines unparalleled durability with an astonishingly lightweight composition. We utilized Dyneema® for the folding tongue sides to create a sleek, highly comfortable, exceptionally durable zone that is resistant to friction – all without producing any squeaking or noise while in motion.
THE UNBREAKABLE LACING SYSTEM
The new Freelock® revolutionary lacing system is practically unbreakable thanks to the world's first 1 mm stainless steel laces. The laces are made of stainless steel wire consisting of 49 strands and are practically unbreakable. The steel wire is coated with plastic reinforcement to prevent friction against the shoes, protect your feet, and keep them comfortable. No way can you break it.
The new technology knob with the highest dragging power and superb durability is engineered by a new technology that is much simpler than other competitive products and has fewer weak points. If you want superior pleasure when wearing your boots, then you’ll love the Freelock® intelligent lacing system. Turn the control knob, and the web of laces tightens automatically and evenly.
While walking, the forces are focused on the multi-point ankle guides to provide superior ankle support. No matter how tightly you lace your boots, the force helps to provide optimal stability as you walk, run, or climb.
The gear ratio is perfectly optimized so you can lace your boots with fewer turns than any currently in the market. It works so smoothly that it is a pleasure to use it every time.
The wire guides are made of durable cold-resistant nylon and wider channels that will make it hard to block the wire if mud is stuck in the guides.
You’re going to wish every pair of shoes you own had the FREELOCK® lacing system.
PROTECTION TO LAST FOR A LIFETIME
Elevate your footwear's durability to unprecedented levels. Our side protection panels, crafted from Durashield® molded rubber, set a new standard for wear resistance, ensuring a lifetime of peak performance.
Alpha 2.0 Hunting Boots by Hillman are going to change the way you think about outdoor footwear. With every step, you’ll enjoy superior comfort, exceptional support, and top-of-line protection, all from a design that’s lighter and better-looking than anything else on the market.
AEROGEL AND MATRIX DOUBLE LAYER INSULATION - EFFICIENT DOWN TO -22°F
Only with 7.5 grams per boot of the world's lightest Matrix® insulation that is as efficient as almost a vacuum, the thermal efficiency is now upgraded to -22°F The combination of Matrix with Aerogel is the only technology that provides optimal insulation when cold and a cooling effect when warm.
What is Aerogel, and why is it most efficient in synergy with Matrix?
NASA originally developed Aerogel in the late 1990s to protect astronauts from the cold of open space while maintaining mobility inside their spacesuits.
Matrix is the latest insulation technology, boasting thermal efficiency nearly equivalent to that of a vacuum. Our scientists have discovered that when combined with Aerogel, it delivers unmatched excellence in both thermal conductivity and radiant insulation. Together, they show a 15% improvement in efficiency compared to when used independently. Thanks to this synergic technology, our boots achieve thermal resistance down to -22° F / -30°C while not overheating the feet when outside temperatures are high.
Today we offer the lightest, most flexible, and most efficient insulations that outperforms any other insulating material made by any company on Earth. It’s simply the finest insulation ever made by man.
The weight of Aerogel is just 50 grams per square meter, and Matrix is just 40 grams - together they have 20% higher thermal insulation properties as insulation of 800 gr/m2. This superb weight-to-efficiency ratio makes Alpha 2.0 Aerogel boots at least 20% lighter, 30% less bulky, and 1800% more efficient than the best-insulated booths on the market.
And that's not all...
The combination of Aerogel and Matrix thermal insulations is bi-directional, meaning that on hot days, it insulates your feet from heat. This doesn't mean your feet will be chilled, but at least you will feel the temperature in your boots as comfortable as when using waterproof boots without insulation.
DRYHUNT® MEMBRANE
What makes the best waterproof and breathable hunting boots - The miracle science.
The Dryhunt® nanoporous hydrophobic waterproof membrane is a mouthful, but here’s what it means:
This innovative membrane is hundreds of times more breathable than the world-leading brand membrane - GTX. It repels water at the same time, giving you exceptional breathability AND dry, comfortable feet.
BREATHABILITY
Dryhunt® has unmatched breathability, allowing the moisture from your feet to be transported outside the boots much faster and efficiently. The nanoporous air-permeable technology performs hundreds of times better than the moisture vapor transmission technology. Other hunting boots can leave you with damp, sticky feet by the end of the day, but Dryhunt® provides the best balance of breathability and waterproofness.

WATERPROOFNESS
In terms of waterproofness, the conventional benchmark rests at 1.6 inches (4 cm) above the boot's board. Hillman, however, surpasses this norm significantly. Our boots maintain their waterproof integrity even when submerged in water up to 5 inches (12 cm) deep. This exceeds the standard by over threefold, enabling you to navigate muddy terrain, marshes, and riverbanks without a drop seeping in.
Hillman boots are tested with water under pressure to ensure that every single stitch and seam of the interior will keep water from getting in. Your feet are the only thing getting into your Hillman boots!
COMFORT
On the inside, you get comfort with every step, thanks to the shock-proof EVA midsole. The insole with the H-Flex heel stabilization system additionally cushions impact and provides superior weight load while reducing the vibration in every step.
HEALTH MATTERS
Maximum joint movement is an essential part of the design.
Even with all this stability, you still have a flexible design that allows for a superior range of motion to keep you safe and stable while you cover uneven terrain.
Conventional outdoor boots often feature a rigid structure that restricts movement in the ankle and foot joints, resulting in a concentration of load on the calves. In contrast, our flexible construction facilitates uniform load distribution across all joints, leading to a more comfortable and ergonomic experience.
FLEXIBLE PROTECTION
360° board protection with two types of polymer materials guarantees the highest wear resistance while allowing all foot joints to move freely.
Prepare to redefine your outdoor adventures with Alpha Aerogel Hunting Boots by Hillman.
Step into a world of unprecedented comfort, unmatched support, and ultimate protection, all wrapped in a design that stands head and shoulders above the competition.

Great boots were comfortable the first time I wore them walked thru and stood in standing water no leaks great
Randy R.
They seem to be well made. Wish they were taller. I’ve only been able to wear them a couple times for short periods. I’ll know more when it’s cold and wet outside.
Randy R.
Sent them back for a larger size. Haven’t received them yet.
Scott J.
These are the most comfortable boots out Of the box. I only have about 10 miles on the break in so fa. I bought these for an upcoming sheep hunt and as of now I believe they will perform well.
Gary B.
This is a quality built comfortable boot. The lace cable system allows easy entries and exits from the boot, while keeping your foot and ankle supported when worn tightened. If you don’t what the frustration of tying up shoe laces and worse yet, trying to pull your boots off after a long days hunt, you will absolutely love this feature. After disengaging the cables, I can literally remove the boot with a kick of my foot!
Scott S.
One of the best boots I have ever purchased, It's lightweight, warm and provides good support on rocky and slippery ground.
David R.
I love the boots. They are lightweight and very comfortable; looking forward to hunting season this fall!

Great boot so far thanks

I have purchased my boots for a upcoming hunting trip.
I have walked 80 miles in these boots. Not a single blister. These boots are the most comfortable boots i have even owned. Virtually no break in time with this product. I cant wait to take them to the field. Thus far, these boots have been great!
Randall E.
Haven’t officially wore them yet, but the fit great. Light and they feel rugged. Bought on recommendation of my son in law who loves them.
Gary F.
These are absolutely the best hunting boot I have ever worn. When I first put them on, they felt broke in. They are very warm and are well made. If your looking for a hunting boot, you will not go wrong with these

The most comfortable hunting boots I have owned. The ease of how the ties work is excellent. I will definitely buy them again.
Pam M.
Bought for my picky husband and he loves them!!
Kenneth Scot L.
Just got back from late season bow hunt in Ohio. Saturday morning temperature was 1 degree. My new Hillman Alpha 2.0 boots kept me dry and warm all day as I broke through the ice getting to my stand. These boots were totally comfortable right out of the box! I would highly recommend them to all my friends!
Michael C.
These boot are fantastic, I now have three pair.
Mark G.
Very comfortable boot. I hunted 4 straight days in it out of the box and there was very little break in time needed. I was also very please with the warmth of these boots. I hunted one morning in 14 degree weather and my feet were comfortable the whole time. I recommend these for sure.
John W.
ive been walking a lot in them but haven't had the opportunity to see how warm they keep my feet while stand hunting or ice fishing. I think if the knob to loosen and tighten was made a little bigger it would help but otherwise i do like them and i have walked in water and snow and they have not gotten wet inside.
Lee W.
Keeps my feet warm standing in snow with temperature at 23F. I suffer from cold feet when hunting. These are the warmest boots I ever had.
Raymond B.
I received my boots in a very timely manner. I tried them on and they felt good. I was in the hospital for surgery so I didn’t get a good chance to try them out in the woods till after I recovered. They feel like they’re a half size too big. When I lace them up they still feel a loose. I am a size 12 American so that is what I ordered. I treated the leather already so I don’t know what can be done to fix the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
John R D.
Teriffic boot! Terrific service!
Chris W.
Very warm and comfortable right out of box
Timothy S.
I’ve been in the field hunting for over 50 years and these are undoubtedly the best boots I’ve ever put on my feet !!!
HOLLY D.
My husband loves these boots! I hope they last a while since they were a bit on the expensive side, but overall, we’ve had a great experience!
austin k.
Kodiak Alaska December hunt with Hillman Alpha hunter 2.0.
Great boot, never missed a step.
Thanks Hillman
Tim C.
I Just love these boots, I put them on right out of the box and I Elk hunted for 6 days! All I can say was “wow”what a comfortable boot and I love the speed cable lace, it is so easy to adjust your boots as you’re walking up or down hills. I have had ankle surgery and never had any luck with the hunting boots I bought previous, I took a chance and ordered these boots and my foot was never so comfortable! Can’t say that about the other hunting boots I have bought over the years.
Jeff A.
They are very comfortable, and warm to so far. we have not hit frigid temps. yet. They have kept my feet completely dry so far. I may consider buying an uninsulated pair.
They are a little pricey but what isn't these days. You get what you pay for
Raymond E.
Great boot
Thomas H.
Love the boots. Great waterproof and great for tracking on tough terrain. Extremely comfortable right out of the box and very warm and supportive as well. Already bought a second pair.
Tyler S.
Love the boots! Was not impressed by the shipping process and required signature for delivery. It took a few days of back and forth to finally track them down from DHL.
james s.
Purchased for white tail hunt in mich. Weather 30-50. Performance rave's about -23 temp limit. Well paying $500 for these boots was a total sub temp rip off. But love the boots for comfort. Love the cable system and found out that the best way to keep the feet warmer while sitting is to loosen the boots for circulation. Which you can't do with conventional lace's. If it seems too good to be true........ Don't get fooled for $500 wait for a sale.
tim r.
These boots are AWESOME. I went 1/2 a size up from my normal shoes and they fit perfectly for a winter boot. Right out of the box I walked over 1 1/2 miles with no issues. Very comfy and warm
