Number 1
Weight
Hiking boots are, in general, more lightweight than hunting boots.

For example, 5 of the most popular hiking boots at Cabelas weigh 2.44 lbs on average, while 5 of the most popular hunting boots at Cabelas weigh 4.66 lbs on average. The most popular hunting boots weigh twice as much as the most popular hiking boots.

Number 2
Insulation

Most hiking boots are geared more toward summer travel because the vast majority of people will do most of their hiking in the warmer months. Hunting, on the other hand, is often done in the shoulder seasons or even in winter-like conditions, and thus hunting boots tend to have insulation which adds a bit of weight. If you’re looking for hiking boots with insulation, you need to be looking for “winter hiking boots”, or “snow hiking boots” or even “mountaineering boots”. Hiking boots with insulation are almost a completely separate category from standard “hiking boots”.

Number 3
Boot Height

The other factor that affects weight is the height of the boot. Both styles have lots of boots that rise to your ankle or just above it, but hunting boots are often very tall and rise as high as mid-calf. You’ll rarely see that in a hiking boot, and as you can imagine, that type of style will definitely add weight. There’s a couple reasons why hunting boots are higher–one of the main being that since hunters are almost by definition off-trail, they are going to be in brush and there are a lot of critters that bite at the ankles–so extra protection is a big plus.

Number 4
Purpose

Those are some of the more obvious physical differences. Let’s consider the difference in overall purpose for each type of boot: Hiking Boot: Hiking is all about walking. The goal is to rack up the miles to get to your destination, whether that’s a high peak or a beautiful pristine lake, or even the next town on a long thru-hike of say, the Pacific Crest Trail. The boots are designed with these activities in mind.

Number 5
The Look

Probably the only other difference between hiking boots and hunting boots is the look. While they can look very similar in many cases, hunting boots will often have a camouflage pattern that is not used for hiking boots. You will rarely if ever, find a splash of non-earth-tone color on a hunting boot, including the laces. Hunter orange is typically used on jackets and hats, but not on footwear. Hiking boots are usually earth-toned as well. They certainly aren’t like running shoes or basketball shoes which can be pretty wild, but they will occasionally have laces or maybe an emblem or some other swath that has a little pop to it.
