A Comfortable Twist On An Old Favorite
September 23, 2010

Upland hunting requires trekking across large tracts of land, and sometimes hills and mountains. Therefore, why not walk in a pair of comfortable, durable field boots. Introduced 50 years ago as an Uplander Hunting Boot by Filson, the interior of the new Uplander Field Boot has changed dramatically. It all starts with a TC-1 compound Vibram mini-bob sole. That's boot-lingo for a non-marking compound sole that provides great traction in both dry and wet conditions. Inside the boot the foot is completely wrapped in water repellent leather, keeping your foot dry in all conditions. Exclusive to the Uplander is its removable cork insole, which molds to your foot's contours and becomes a custom fit. Durability comes in the boot's full-grained oil-impregnated cowhide. Pick up a pair and enjoy comfortable hunting.
