NORTIV 8 Men's Waterproof Hiking Boots Lightweight Outdoor Mid Trekking Leather Shoes DriftShield

This is only a two day review, if things change I'll edit later. I have messed up feet. I'm flat footed and was born with hallux valgus, something that wasn't a problem most of my life, but now in my 40's, it's a problem. I work a retail/food service job where I'm on my feet all day, and foot pain has become a constant, unwanted companion. Usually after two days I can tell if a shoe or boot is going to work for me. The main thing that drew me to these boots was the thickness of the sole, it's very tennis shoe like, which I was hoping would lead to giving me more comfort during my shift. These boots are comfortable in spades. They're probably the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. I don't feel the need to put an insert in them, something I usually have to do right away. They provide a surprising amount of arch support for my feet in particular, and they do it in a way that isn't painful. That's a problem I've had with every other shoe or insert that claimed arch support, they always hurt. These don't. The second draw was the claim of being light-weight. They are light, for boots, but don't expect sneakers. I was able to thoroughly test the waterproof claim today at work, where I ended up spending about three hours spraying down a room with hot, soapy water. My feet stayed perfectly dry. They also stayed dry on my bike commute after work in the rain. I've worn a size 13 most of my life but ordered these in 14, and that was the right call. I have ample toe room where I can freely move them around, but at the same time the boot isn't loose on my feet. I'm getting too old to care about style, these are plain, understated, but still manage to look good in my opinion. If I had to make one complaint, it would be that the almost-suede finish of the boots looks like it might be prone to quick wear. After only a couple days the top of the boot is already looking like it's a couple months old. There's no real damage, it just how this material behaves when bumped and scraped by things. Overall these are an easy win, and they don't cost a fortune which is always good. I'll probably end up with another pair in a different color for outdoor activities.

Had minimal expectations when I purchased these. Just wanted light weight and waterproof. These boots are exceptionally comfortable and exceptionally priced. Can be worn right out of the box with little break in time. They are well made, durable and feel more like a tennis shoe than a boot. Extremely happy with my purchase. Highly recommend.

These seem to be very good hiking boots. Very comfortable right out of the box, true to size, nice wide toe box, even in “regular” (non-wide). I have not tried them outside yet so I cannot comment on how waterproof they are. The only thing I don’t really like about these so far is that the outer part of the sole around the heel is wider than the leather upper. I have only worn these briefly in my living room to try them on, and I may return them because of this. The issue is that they are so wide/chunky around the heels that the soles tend to bump into each other and hit on walls and other objects that may be near your feet. Maybe I’m just not used to these, but it could be a dealbreaker. Other than that, they’re great. These are VERY similar to Merrell Vego Mid Leather Waterproof that I loved and wore several pairs for many years until they stopped making them. These also cost a good bit less than the Merrells.

I’m six months in on these boots. Highly recommend. A few thoughts: • The size runs just a hair big. I often wear 11 or 11.5 These boots (11) fit me perfectly. I would probably just say these run true to size, but maybe a hair big as boys often do. • The color is nice, and the material is clearly real leather. They feel heavy duty, but also lightweight. I’ve worn these about ten times now while camping. I’m happy with the price and performance. • They are comfortable enough to wear for long hikes. No issues or hotspots. • I have taller feet, and I was worried these would push down on the top of my foot. I found that isn’t the case for me. These are plenty tall enough for my foot. • While I haven’t hiked on snow or ice, this have a nice grip for summer hiking in Colorado. Overall, these are a wonderful pair of boots. I think you’ll be happy. Just order true to size.

Excellent boots. Super comfortable & well made. I can't say enough good things. I wear them hunting small game and my feet feel great after a days walking through the woods as well as in the neighborhood walking the dog on cement/blacktop. FIVE STARS

I feel about 5/8 of an inch taller wearing these. the added confidence has improved social standing and love life immensely

Built better than Nike boot. Comfortable and waterproof. Genuine leather. Great value and quality.

Boots are comfortable. Especially if you change the insoles out. I am able to maneuver and get going no pain. They fit perfectly. I work as a garbage man so for now, they're standing strong. My issue is the waterproofing. Stepped in a puddle that was about ankle high and my feet were soaked. If the water gets on where the laces are, you still feel wet. Also, you can see glue in most locations. This made me question its quality but so far so good

Las botas son súper cómodas, tus pies descansan de vdd, a un excelente precio, vendedor súper recomendable. Volvere a adquirir otro modelo. Muy contento y satisfecho. Muchas gracias
