NORTIV 8Men's Ankle High Waterproof Hiking Boots Outdoor Lightweight Shoes Trekking Trails Armadillo

I picked this up recently I've wore them daily for a week now, both in casual situations and out in the woods on both flat and steep terrain. They have excellent grip in mud loose dirt and wet dirt they dig in that was one of the reasons i took a stab at them. When i ordered was not a single review so i took a chance, as i say many before my review did.Long term durability this what most important right? For that i cannot say yet. I've looked over it's construction it seems to have all right details but even looks can deceive so time will tell right? When the time comes I will update my review on regards based on durability say maybe 6 months from now. They are made in china that shouldn't be surprising to anyone at this point in time lol. Only durability issues i was seeing or having seems few bits of the sowing wanted to fray my advice take a bic lighter (just an example what i meant any lighter be fine) melt them before they get out of hand and undo in the future. It could be a future problem I will keep my eyes on it.Walking in them is very comfy I felt like I was walking on clouds which makes since as they have an EVA insole, which isn't glued in. Meaning long as the boot holds up you can buy replacement EVA insoles for them from other manufacturers. The pair I got even came with a packet that had 2 extra laces so even get back ups if you ever need them.The waterproofing I have not tested, I would say it would be fine as the tongue is a complete wrap with no opening but over an ankle deep of water and they going to flood makes sense I'm sure?I got the black/gray pair they are a little warm on the feet, but i expected that most black clothing is little warmer than light colors.The boot is incredible light, as light as a pair of RND1 basket ball sneakers i have, from the looks of them you wouldn't think that, but they really are may even be slightly lighter than them.The boots are both easy to put on and take off really easy i was really happy with that. For poison oak/ivy reasons lol.I recommend relacing these after you get them if you like a foot hugging snug feel and tightness. Out of the box lacing little loser than I preferred, but not a flaw that is a personal preference.After my relacing of the boot the snug feeling worked great stayed snug all day long laces never stretched or let up on it.These are not wides i know some men even women wear wide boots and shoes there is no option at the time i bought for a wide foot so keep that in mind before you buy these just made for an avg sized foot in width. my foot at widest point is about 4 inches wide any wider i'd not got my foot in them comfortably.Now this be a rule of thumb my dad taught me on buying shoes, these are pretty much shoes with a hiking boot tread.if you wear a size 10 go with a 10 1/2. i wear 10.5 or wore a 10.5 in my past before he told me this rule of thumb. Now i wear a 11 by following his guidance and it was some great advice from a wise man. The advice makes things feel much better and more comfortable in the short & long terms. This is just general advice when buying any shoe be it online or in a store in person.(Edit Review Update August 21st 2019)After about 15 days part of the sole on inner side left rear heel started coming lose for no reason, but i took bottle of guerilla glue and I've had no issues since. I filled that hole full with it its been glued since. Still wearing them daily that has been the only serious issue i had with these. So take note, buy a bottle guerilla glue when you buy these lol. I've wore them daily since i bought them thats been the only serious problem. Made in china though and it shows least it did for me so i'm dropping a star i think thats fair no one should have to glue their shoe back together after 15 days of daily use. I'd go back to 3 but that would be unfair as i'm still wearing them daily. NORTIV 8 should partner with guerilla glue as they work well together.(Edit 10/17/2022)Believe it or not but I still wear these. Total wear time about 1 1/2 years. i think I could get 2 years worth of wear time out of them but i think that's about all I could get comfortably. I don't wear them 1/2 of the year so technically i wear them about 1/2 of a year spring & summer. So to clarify the total wear time, I got about 1 1/2 years worth of time wearing them, yet I've owned them little over 3 years.Whats going on with them in 2022? Insoles are 100% dead rest of construction is still holding up. I never had any issues out of them since the super glue incident. Laces are still good but I can see overall fabric and structure fatigue setting in this is why i say last update. I will be retiring them in about 2 days.I wore these mainly for walking and daily activities, i worked very little in them. I did some firewood collecting work in them but nothing that could damage them type of work. Once the insoles die they no longer felt as if I was walking on clouds, no it felt like walking on concrete lol. That's to be expected though. With all said I got my money out of them I gave $35, they was a new release so i caught them early in. Not many $35 boots/shoes would last me this long or anyone else I'm sure.Anyways, Take care I hope my long and over time review and updates helped everyone. See ya on some other boots/shoes maybe.

We go through purchasing hiking boots every 3- 6 months because teenaged boy with growing feet. We have purchased this brand a few times. They handle light hiking /trekking and snow/rain well. We usually give a coat of scotchguarding for extra meausure of waterproofing. My son out grows the shoe before it is worn out or so they get a handful of months maximum before we pass them on.For a the price they are a fair boot

I needed a hiking boot for a recent trip to Iceland and do not want to spend a lot of money on something that I would probably not get much use out of once we returned. These boots were waterproof, comfortable, and lightweight. They did the trick and now I am looking forward to hiking some more in the future.

These have a very soft feel while stepping. Lots of insole cushion for the price. They feel a bit more heavy and clunky than I was expecting. In light puddles they seem to be dry. Time will tell on longevity of the tread.

Spent 2 weeks riding adventure bikes and camping with these boots. They were not waterproof, but they were very comfortable and didn't need much time to break in. Good for small puddles or wet grass, not good for heavy rain or standing in water for long periods.

They are well made but have some notable limitations for avid hikers and/or more difficult terrains. It took about 15 miles to break these in. They were initially uncomfortable for me at the base of my toes. I recommend really bending the toe area for a bit before wearing them. Although they breathe somewhat and are water resistant at the base, any moisture at all is not a good idea. I got some water in them from it dripping off of my pants and it took about a day and a half to dry naturally (i.e., without using a hair dryer). With all that being said, once I broke them in they were fine. The insole is cushy. Since I like to hike on more challenging terrain (e.g., steep slippery slopes), I think I wish I would have gone for a more versatile boot. However, if you're looking for a quick boot at a great price, I think these are fine for casual hikes/short trips.Pros (per my experience):+Good price for performance+Decent general hiking boots for most types of flat terrain and low-grade terrain that is not very slippery+Good ankle supportCons:-Wouldn't want to wear them for more complicated terrain or for very long trips-Don't get them wet on the interior (true for most boots anyways)-Not the best traction/grip

So far so good I can’t give you a judgment on the test of time because I’ve only had them for a short minute but they are a good option for the price

Comfort!!!

Franchement je suis impressionné par la qualité de ces chaussures.Livrée avec deux paires de lacées , taille impeccable et bon maintient de la cheville.630g par chaussure avec une semelle bien épaisse, parfait pour les terrains accidentés.l'étanchéité est relative en fonction de l'utilisation mais conforme pour du softshell.Cela va faire légèrement plus d'un mois que je les utilise et elle ne m'ont pas déçues.

I'm always slightly anxious when ordering footwear on line. I am a size 13 uk and these boots come up slighlty big, but nothing that a good pair of socks doesn't take care off.I've not worn them loads yet but have done a couple of 5 mile walks with the dog and they seem comfortable and supportive.My only critical observation is that the tongue is quite short and the top lace loops are very high. You need to take care if lacing to that top loop as the lace can slip off the top of the boot,but just going to the one below works fine.All in all a great boot for the money. I'm hoping that they last as long as my Karrimors did, but i won't be going up Mt Everest any time soon, so I don't think my strolls around the Yorkshire countryside will exert them too much!

Occasional trekker, so needed replacement lightweight boots for 30 year old pair! Read the reviews, looked at comparable pricing and bought with hope! Ordered a UK12 which I need to allow for socks and bunions, first try out was a 6 mile horror up and down shale paths. Nice grip, soles thick enough to prevent jarring of the sole from stones, good ankle support, slightly heavier than I had assumed, but do the job, especially for the price.

These boots are so much better than you may think ! Just bought my second pair and this is the reason why. They are very comfortable to wear and have a generous padded inner sole. The lacing is excellent and adds to great ankle support. They are also waterproof although i haven't really tested them but my feet keep dry evan during a down pour or when walking through wet grass. There quite light too, almost like a trainer but much more sturdy.Well worth the money 👍 !

El pedido llegó con retraso, todo lo demás bien, por eso no le doy las 5 estrellas
