NORTIV 8 Men's Lightweight Military Tactical Work Boots Outdoor Hiking Motorcycle Combat Boots

I've worn these boots 5 days a week for about a month. I'm a boot guy needing the features of a boot as I complete tasks on my small farm. For years I have worn expensive boots but always seek out a bargain. These boots were a great price on Prime day and I own tennis shoes made by Nortiv that are good so I ordered the boots. I am impressed. Here's some reasons why. These boots are super light. Listing says just over one pound. Light weight is great after a long day working. And as listing says, they are water proof. Water beads up on lower sections. I treated lower part with silicone just in case but so far no wet feet. Most boots I have owned are so hard to get on but these Nortiv are amazing. They are surprisingly supple and I can slip them on in just a moment. The top two shoe string points are catches rather than holes making lacing a breeze. And speaking of laces, I've had boots that it was impossible to keep tied. All day long I would find laces untied. I don't know how Nortiv does it but the material for their laces stays tied! And the boots come with a spare set of laces! The boots are comfortable and provide adequate support. The soles are aggressive enough that I have not slipped when wearing but not so aggressive that I have to dig out mud from the cleats. I will report back after more time on the farm. So far these boots have proven exceptional.

I had total ankle joint replacement about a year ago. Recovery and rehab have gone well. I am overweight so have been looking for mid-height, ankle supportive boot. I tried a conventional 6” hiking boot with Vibram sole, but I found it too stiff and rigid, and the aggressive tread would catch on surface irregularities, and trip me up. Reviewers were saying that these Nortive8 boots were more flexible/ comfortable than most hiking boots so I ordered a pair. They have excellent quality construction. They fit as expected, and are comfortable out of the box. The tread is mild and rounded in the edges, which is perfect for what I needed. Some reviews said that these boots do not provide much ankle support, but I have not found that to be the case. With the 8” height and double hook eyelets, if I snug the laces, they provide plenty of support for my weak ankle. I have worn them outdoors almost all waking hours for about two weeks, and they show no wear yet. Just a couple of minor suggestions for improvement: the tongue could be a little thicker, and the laces are too long. Beyond that, I am very happy with them, especially considering their I’m very reasonable price.

First off, I know boots. I have worn boots for work and for outdoor activities such as hiking and hunting. I was also a Marine for six years. I have always invested in high quality boots such as Danner. I was attracted to this boot because I wanted something lightweight, comfortable, and gray in color. Out of the box, the comfort was instant, the fit was on point. These boots are built like a sneaker and I imagine that they will wear like one - that said, I expect these boots to last about as long as a sneaker - so about 6-8 months for me. I have worn them three times. Once at a family outing with a lot of walking and I wore them for the entirety of two 12 -hour shifts at a hospital - so a lot of walking.So far, I have experienced no binding, no discomfort, no sore feet. So far there are no loose threads, sole separation, or any mechanical/physical problems with the boots. From someone who knows good boots, I highly recommend these if you are looking for an economical, lightweight, and comfortable boot that wears like a sneaker - just don't expect them to be something that will last for years.

MY HUSBAND WEARS THESE ALMOST EVERYDAY AND THEY HAVE LASTED FOR A LONG TIME. THESE ARE MADE WELL AND HE SAYS THEY ARE COMFORTABLE FOR THE PRICE.

I had these in the cart for a while and couldn't decide if they would be worth the effort of trying out. I ordered them after staring at them for a few months. Comfortable boot, right color, right fit, right height. 1st day wearing them, so far loving the fit. I will follow up to see how they last over time. Received and extra pair of laces in the box! So far, I have 0 complaints.1/15/25 - Boots are comfortable for all day wear. I do get a little "bite" on my right boot on my ankle. It's annoying more than anything. I will try with different socks. But I think it's my bony ankles... 1/23/25 - Boots broken in, no more "bite", boots are good to go.

They are not waterproof, but my son said they were comfortable.

This is literally the only boot I buy for work. I have gone through probably 5+ pairs of basic version as well as waterproof version. I am a solar technician and spend majority of my time of roofs. I came to the conclusion that military style boots support my ancles the best & allow me to move around the way I need to while not damaging shingles. Every year I buy a regular pair of these Nortivs for summer, & then I would recommend using the waterproof version as a winter boot. I used to get Belleville boots, but they would wear out and start to reek and I was spending over $130 on boots. What I love about THESE is I can get a brand new pair of summer and winter boots for around $40 each. The quality for price is great. For me what wears out is the bottom of the sole after about a year or so, however typically I am on roofs with 45 degree pitches, etc and I am extremely hard on them. So these boots will probably not last you 10 years, but you can get another pair for very cheap. That may not work for others but it works for me. I highly recommend these.

Pretty good for a lightweight. boot. A grippy sole on wet and smooth surfaces. Pretty wide width for a regular size shoe. Not so comfortable during long periods of standing. I need to lace these up TIGHT in order for my heel to not to move inside these. Made in Red China.
