I have to tell you - Didn't even get them out in the field yet but from the try on they are the most comfortable outdoor boots i have ever had in my kit - Hands down.

If you are looking for a Hillman boots review before buying, you will find honest feedback here, including what works well and what could be improved. We also cover waterproof hunting jackets and insulated hunting pants, especially how the full system performs together during cold-weather hunts and extended outdoor use.

Boots look and feel great, no breaking required, didn't have a change to really wear them as its summer time. The only issue is US customs they took weeks to arrive to my door, I were winter here and I was scheduled for a hunting trip I would be upset. But nice looking product.

They’re amazing
Waterproof Hunting Boots - Uninsulated Lightweight DryHunt
Store owner replied: Thank you for the positive review!
I bought these to take on an expedition into the Arctic. I have been wearing them to make sure they were comfortable without an extensive break-in period. So comfortable right from the box. I love the cable tightening. Secures the foot better and more evenly that lace boots. How they perform in the Svalbard region is yet to be determined but wearing them thus far I am truly impressed.

Ran them through wet brush and tall grass. Stayed dry and didn’t snag or tear. Quiet enough for close movement, which is what I was looking for.
Waterproof Camo Pants - Hunting Rain | AlphaShell 5WL
Store owner replied: Hello Jake, We appreciate your feedback. We are glad that you like the 5WL Waterproof pants. Hillman Customer Service
First thing I noticed was the weight. Way lighter than my old boots, which makes a difference over a full day. Feet stayed warm during long sits, even in freezing temps. No leaks, solid grip, and good support on uneven ground.
Insulated Hunting Boots - Warmest Waterproof Aerogel 2.0
Store owner replied: Thank you for your kind words and for appreciating the quality of the Aerogel hunting boots. We are pleased to hear that you felt comfortable wearing them. Hillman Customer Service
Took them out on a few early morning hunts in freezing temps. Warm right away and stayed that way. No slipping inside the boots and no pressure points. Just comfortable all day.
Hunting Socks Merino Wool - Warmest for Extreme Cold Weather
Feels really soft and breathable, even after a full day out. Stretch is just right and it doesn’t lose shape. Ended up ordering another one.
Got caught in rain on the way back from a hunt and ended up wearing it longer than planned. Kept me dry and didn’t overheat even while moving. Easy to pack and quick to throw on. Solid piece of gear.
Easy order process, true fit for me, almost like the boots are already broken in.
Waterproof Hunting Boots - Uninsulated Lightweight DryHunt
Store owner replied: Hello David, Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you like the Dryhunt boots. Hillman Customer Service
GRAET LOOKING, VERY COMFORTABLE BOOT. Only criticism is that the bOA system pulls too tight at the ankle and not enough over the bridge of the foot. Feels like it needs to have a double BOA system or it needs to be centrally located on the boot to provide equal pressure across the foot.
I absolutely love these boots. My first pair is 4 years old and still 100% waterproof. I wear them almost every day for work pouring concrete. Virtually indestructible!! I ordered a second pair and mistakenly ordered the wrong size. I emailed them and they took care of it super fast. They were great to work with.
Waterproof Hunting Boots - Uninsulated Lightweight DryHunt
Store owner replied: Thank you for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear your first pair has held up for 4 years of hard work and is still 100% waterproof — that’s exactly the durability we aim for. We’re also glad we could quickly help with your sizing mix-up. Your support and kind words mean a lot to us!
These are my favorite hunting boots, no need to break them in. I've got a bad hand so the speed lace system is great for me. I own them in both options and would buy another if they offered a lower version for hot weather.
PRE-ORDER DRYHUNT 2.0 Waterproof Hunting Boots
Store owner replied: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad your hunting boots are comfortable right out of the box and that the speed lace system makes them easy to use. It’s great to hear you love them enough to own both versions — we’ll take note of your suggestion for a lighter option for hot weather!
They sent the wrong size boots but were very quick to correct the problem.

These boots are amazing. I wear them everyday. I have owned many pair of hunting coldnweather boots and none can compare to these. Worth every dime

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for the incredible review! We’re honored to hear they’re your go-to boots and that they stand above the rest. Knowing they’re worth every dime to you truly means a lot to us — enjoy every step!
I wore them ice fishing for 8 hours and my feet were never close to cold. Comfortable all day from 5am to 9pm in the car to and from the lake and 8 hours on the lake in 15 degree temps. Make them in black and you'll sell another pair!
Insulated Hunting Boots - Warmest Waterproof Aerogel 2.0
Store owner replied: Wow — thank you for sharing such an awesome experience! We’re thrilled to hear your feet stayed warm and comfortable all day, especially in 15° temps — that’s exactly what they’re built for. And we love the suggestion about making them in black… we’ll definitely pass that along! 😉
These boots are awesome if you’re gonna spend five to $600 on a pair of boots, these would probably be the boots that you would want to be out in the cold and in the snow. I haven’t worn them out in the woods yet but they fit great. They look great and they’re just made really really good.
Insulated Hunting Boots - Warmest Waterproof Aerogel 2.0
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for the detailed review! We’re glad to hear they fit great and that you’re impressed with the quality and build. We’re confident they’ll perform just as well when you get them out in the woods — stay warm and enjoy them!
Hillman , I have purchased 2 pair of boots from Sitka, kuiu, lacrosse & more . I can’t express how happy I am with the overall performance of the pair of boots I purchased from you guys. You have really set the bar high and I don’t know if anyone else has any thing out there performing at this level. I can’t express my gratitude to you guys enough. I can actually wear just one pair of socks with my boots now ! Wow ! Simply amazing!
Insulated Hunting Boots - Warmest Waterproof Aerogel 2.0
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for taking the time to share this incredible feedback.

We sincerely appreciate your support and trust. Thanks again for being part of the Hillman community.
Boots worked great the first two days out in UK countryside for driven bird shoot, we tromped around in the muddy fields all day, feet were dry and comfortable. Fit true to size.
