Are Hillman hunting boots waterproof?

Absolutely. Every pair uses a waterproof membrane that keeps your feet bone dry in heavy rain, streams, and wet terrain. We've tested them in proper downpours—the kind where everything else is soaked through. Your feet stay dry.

How do Hillman boots fit compared to regular sizes?

They run true to size. If you're a UK 10, order a UK 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.

What makes Aerogel insulation better than regular insulation?

It's lighter and warmer. Traditional insulation adds bulk and weight. Aerogel keeps you just as warm—if not warmer—without the extra mass. It's what NASA uses for space missions because it works in extreme temperatures without weighing you down.

Do Hillman boots need a break-in period?

A bit, yeah. The Italian leather needs a few wears to properly mold to your feet. Wear them around for a few days before a big hunt. Nothing excessive—just enough to soften the leather and get them comfortable.

How do I care for Hillman leather boots?

Clean off mud and dirt after each hunt. Let them dry naturally—never near direct heat. Condition the leather every few months with a quality leather conditioner. That's it. Treat them right and they'll last for years.

Can Hillman boots handle icy conditions?

That's exactly what the Vibram Arctic Grip soles are for. They grip on ice better than anything else we've tested. Frozen ground, icy hillsides, frost-covered rocks—the traction is brilliant. You're not slipping around.

What's your warranty on Hillman gear?

One year warranty against manufacturing defects. If something's wrong with the materials or craftsmanship, we'll replace it or fix it. Normal wear and tear isn't covered—these are hunting boots, they're meant to get properly used.

Are Hillman boots suitable for long-distance hiking?

Absolutely. They're built for full days in the field—tramping through rough terrain, crossing streams, climbing hills. The support and cushioning hold up over long distances. Your feet won't be screaming at you by the end of the day.
