The 8" Explorer: Precision Performance for the Rugged Backcountry

The Hoffman 8" Explorer is built for the demanding terrain serious backcountry hunters and outdoor professionals call home. This non-insulated powerhouse delivers maximum breathability for mild conditions without sacrificing an ounce of the stability required to navigate steep, unforgiving landscapes.

  • Advanced Rocker System: Engineered with an integrated rocker profile, the Explorer promotes a more natural stride on flat ground while providing the rigid "edging" capability needed when the mountain turns vertical.

  • Amphibious Leather Protection: The 2.8–3.0mm one-piece full-grain Amphibious leather upper eliminates seams in high-wear areas, drastically increasing durability and weather resistance.

  • Mountain-Ready Traction: Equipped with the Vibram® 1212 Masai outsole, this boot offers aggressive traction and a solid heel bite for total confidence on slick rock or loose scree.

Great fit! No break in!

Most comfortable and supportive boots I have owned to date, and I have owned many different brands. Irish Setter, Lacrosse, Danner, Kennetrek, none of them compare!!

Excellent Boots

Right of the box comfort. These are great boots. I like the comfort and support they provide. The traction is excellent on steep ground. I would highly recommend the Hoffman Explorer 8” boots. I will be buying the insulated Explorers soon.

These are the best boots I have ever owned

These are the best boots I have ever owned. I purchased these to replace two pairs of Hoffman Explorers. They didn’t wear out, for some reason my foot size increased and I needed a larger size.

Perfect fit, extremely comfortable with plenty of ankle support. I also like how the tongue goes all the way to the top of the boot. For water to get in, it would have to go over the top of the boot.

I have worn the Hoffman Explorer for years elk hunting in Colorado. I walk miles per day in them. I have never got a blister and my feet don’t hurt at the end of the day like they do if I use a cheaper boot with a very flexible sole.
