Product Overview
The Ultimate Early Season Backcountry Hunting Boot
A perfect boot for ultralight backpack hunting when hot weather meets hard country, the Mission Mountain Boot strikes the perfect balance of lightweight agility and rugged support. Built for serious hunters navigating steep, demanding terrain during hot early season hunts, this boot is designed to thrive when miles are long, packs are heavy, and the sun is high.
At its core is our Flex-2 chassis, providing a solid and supportive base that provides the rigidity necessary for heavy pack-outs on challenging terrain, yet maintains enough flex to remain comfortable over miles of flatter terrain making it ideal for backpack hunts that demand both speed and stability. Whether you’re navigating up and down canyon walls or pushing hard through forested underbrush, the Mission delivers the support and comfort needed to move with confidence.
The upper combines 2.3mm top-grain leather with Schoeller™ performance fabric, a stretchy, breathable material that maximizes airflow during warm-weather pursuits. Our pLite™ dual-density polyurethane midsole offers long-lasting shock absorption with a lightweight feel underfoot, while the Vibram™ Circuma™ outsole ensures quiet grip and surefooted traction across rocky, dusty, or wet terrain.
The Sympatex™ waterproof membrane seals out water while venting excess heat and moisture, keeping your feet dry and comfortable across unpredictable mountain conditions. From early season elk in steep timber to chasing pronghorn with your bow in August, the Mission Mountain Boot stands ready for aggressive hunts in rugged country.
Crafted by hand with uncompromising attention to detail, using the finest materials and most advanced technologies. Each pair is built in our Schnee production facility in the foothills of the Dolomites in the Italian Alps.

Looking for More Options?
Need more support for steeper terrain and side hilling? Take a look at the Beartooth Family of mountain boots with a more rigid sole that provides a sturdier base for more technical hunts and heavier pack outs.
Are you after something that’s still fast and light, but slightly more sturdy and supportive? Check out our Timberline boot: Inspired by our legendary Beartooth boot, the Timberline maintains many of its core features but dials back the rigidity for a smoother, more flexible ride.
Want a stiffer, more robust boot for heavy pack outs above the treeline in sheep and goat country? Shop our Granite family mountain boots, available in 0g, 200g, and 600g of insulation.
Caring For Your New Mountain Boots
We recommend using Nikwax on our Mountain Boots at least twice a year, prior to your hunting season and afterwards if you're going to store the boots until next year, and as needed throughout the year especially if you have been hunting in wet conditions.

The Timberline runs true to size when measured using a Brannock foot measuring device. If you're unsure about your size or want additional tips for the perfect fit, check out our Boot Fitting Guide for a step-by-step breakdown or feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
