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.

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.

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.

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 -30°C | -22°F
The combination of Matrix with Aerogel is the only technology that provides optimal insulation when cold and a cooling effect when warm.

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.

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.

Gear up for extended hunting sessions, extended hikes, and extended enjoyment of your favorite activities. Experience the Alpha Aerogel difference from the very first fitting.

But first, you have to try them, so try with confidence! Every pair of boots we sell comes with:
