Keep your Hillman boots performing at their best with proper care:

  • Use mink oil or waterproof leather wax to preserve the leather.
  • Avoid machine washing; let your boots air dry naturally.

These boots are designed for rugged outdoor adventures, excelling in hunting and nature-based activities. Using them on abrasive surfaces like asphalt or concrete can affect their durability. For optimal longevity, we recommend sticking to their intended purpose and avoiding everyday wear. The waterproofing warranty is valid for six months under regular outdoor use.

Dryhunt® nanomembrane

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.

Unmatched Breathability

The Dryhunt® nanoporous waterproof membrane is not just hundreds of times more breathable than GTX—it surpasses any leading membrane worldwide. Acting as a hydrophobic shield, it blocks external water while expelling moisture through nanosized pores with every step. Its unmatched efficiency, breathability, and thermoregulation deliver exceptional comfort and a balanced microclimate in both warm and Arctic conditions. Plus, it’s 100% PFAS-free and eco-friendly.

3-Fold Waterproof Efficiency Upgrade

The conventional benchmark waterproof tests at 1.6 inches (4 cm) above the boot's board. Hillman significantly surpasses this norm maintaining integrity even when boots are submerged in water up to 5 inches (12 cm) deep.

Exceeding the standard by over threefold with hillman boots you can navigate deeper muddy terrain, marshes, and riverbanks without a drop seeping in.

Insulation Evolution

Exponentially Revolutionized Insulation Efficiency Down to -5°C (23°F)

Matrix® sets a new standard for insulation. Its closed-cell structure is 10 times lighter, 80% less bulky, and 2000% more efficient than traditional materials. At just 0.13 oz./ft² (40 g/m²), and only 0.26 oz. (7.5 g) per boot, it delivers near-vacuum thermal conductivity, providing reliable warmth down to -5°C (23°F) without causing overheating in milder conditions. Engineered for extreme cold and warmer climates alike, Matrix® is the world’s lightest, most effective thermoregulating insulation.

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.

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.

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.

You’re going to wish every pair of shoes you own had the FREELOCK® lacing system.
