NORTIV 8 Men's Ankle High Waterproof Hiking Boots

UPDATE: We've had a lot of rain the past few days (flash flood warnings and everything), and even after stepping through water over 2 inches deep, my feet and socks are dry as a bone. I am very impressed with the waterproof aspect of these boots. == == == == == I like a lot of arch and ankle support in my boots, and these check both boxes. They have just enough stiffness around the ankle to keep my feet from rolling side-to-side, and plenty of arch support so I don't pronate as badly as I'm prone to do. The sizing is right on. I wear a 9-1/2 in everything, and the 9-1/2 fits just right. I usually go for a wider width, and these are plenty comfortable. They have good quality too. One thing I always look at on hiking boots is the lace hooks. Lower quality shoes will have sharp, unfinished edges that will cut through your laces in a matter of weeks. All of these (four on each boot) are smooth and after a few weeks of daily wear, I don't see any snags or cuts on the laces. That really impressed me. The grey and suede accents make them look really good, so I can wear them everywhere from the office to a night out with my wife to a hiking trail. I haven't been in a lot of rain, but they do seem to keep my feet dry, so I like that about them too. In summary, they look great, they feel great, they're versatile (not just for hiking), and the price is really good compared to similar shoes from other brands. I will see how long they last, but if it's even 6 months before any seams start showing wear, they're absolutely worth the price.

I bought these boots back in August 2024, and after well over a year of regular use, I figured it was worth coming back to leave a review. I’ve used them for hiking, yard work, and everyday wear, and they’ve held up extremely well. The exterior still looks close to new—no holes, no separation, and no real signs of damage. Even the soles show only light wear, which is impressive considering how often I’ve worn them. The only issue I’ve run into is with the insoles. They’ve started to peel a bit, which is why I came back to look for replacements. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s worth noting. In terms of fit, these have been excellent for me. I wear a size 10 wide, and they fit perfectly. I used to stick with Keen boots, but I found their sizing to be inconsistent. These have been much more reliable in that regard. I can’t confidently speak to the waterproofing since I don’t recall putting them through consistently wet conditions, but for everything else, they’ve been rock solid. Overall, if you’re looking for a well-made, everyday boot that can handle a mix of activities, these are a great choice. The fact that I haven’t needed to replace them yet says a lot—and when I do, I’ll be buying another pair without hesitation.

This lasted a little over a year. They could have went much longer but the side of the boot where the outer toe bends failed. See attachment toe bend and sole after 1 year. What I liked: these are so comfortable. They are not the lightest boots but they fit so good. The rubber toe cap, Excellent. Lug soles on the bottom, Excellent. Heel guard, excellent. Waterproffing up to the tongue joint, Excellent. I love these boots. But the toe bend issue is my only issue. The material they use just could not handle the constant bending of each step. I did get an all leather pair at Christmas and it's been 6 months. So far so good with all the same great qualities above. I will rate that pair after a year.

These hiking boots exceeded my expectations! They are lightweight, comfortable right out of the box, and provide excellent ankle support on rough trails. The waterproof design kept my feet dry during wet conditions, and the grip is outstanding on both rocky and muddy terrain. The quality feels premium, especially for the price. I’ve worn them on long hikes and they remained comfortable all day with no blisters. If you’re looking for durable, reliable, and stylish hiking boots, these are an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

Comfortable, runs true to size I wear a size 13 EEEE shoe the wide hiking boots fit me well and required minimal break in time. I wear them indoors and around a horse ranch. Solid stitching, strong eyelets, very good traction. For the price I would recommend these boots to anyone on a budget. I've been a Merrill MOAB fan for years but when shopping for a new pair, the price tag was to high for me to justify. I chose these boots based on customer ratings and I am very pleased with my decision. If you are in the market for an inexpensive hiking boots I would encourage you to consider these.

Purchased these in May 2025, they are my everyday wear shoe. They fit well,are comfortable, (not cushy comfortable but well fitting comfortable), I have had to replace the laces once in the past year. I wear them to work and hiking. I have had no issues with seams splitting, sole separation, or any other failure (aside from replacing laces). These shoes are still going strong. If you walk through water that covers the shoe your feet will get wet (the upper is material which water can get through) I am happy with these and will purchase again if these fail.

For the price, these boots get a lot right. The fit is comfortable and true to size, so they were easy to wear right out of the box without much of a break-in period. The traction is genuinely good, with a grippy sole that held up well on uneven and slippery terrain, and the waterproofing does its job at keeping your feet dry. The main drawback is breathability. These boots run hot, and your feet heat up quickly, especially if you stand long in warmer weather. There's not much airflow, so if you tend to have sweaty feet or hike in the heat, that's worth factoring in. Overall, they're a decent value pick. You're getting good grip, a comfortable fit, and reliable waterproofing at a low price, so as long as you go in knowing they trade breathability for that budget-friendly cost, they're worth it.

They looked really nice but they run big. I had to return them and order a 1/2 size down.

Las botas me quedaron un poco grandes, como mínimo pidelas 1/2 número menos. Las llevé a las grutas xhaja y me hicieron el viaje cómodo y me protegieron del agua (hasta que sumergí el pie). Las recomiendo ampliamente, si les quedan grandes ponle unas plantillas de gel de la flexi y caminarás más cómodo todavía

Al principio planeaba devolverlas por una molestia en la base de los dedos al caminar, pero luego de ponerle unas plantillas para regular la altura de mi pie y mejorar el ajuste, las botas han Sido muy de mi agrado, ya que son cómodas y han aguantado las.ñ cargas extenuantes de caminatas en terrenos difíciles. Muy recomendables, y si sienten que les "baila" el pie, con unas plantillas se soluciona el asunto.

Me los puse 4 veces y se despegaron de las orillas, muy pero muy mala calidad para el precio, como puedo anexar las fotos y ademas q en la 1ra lluvia se les metio el agua.

Son muy ligeros y la talla perfecta. Cómodos y hermosos

Was soll man dazu noch sagen? Alle Versprechungen werden erfüllt, passen optimal, ideal für breite Füße, wasserdicht auch und für leichte Touren geeignet. Ich hatte sie getestet rund um Bad Tabarz, schon die erste Tour war super, kein Drücken oder Reiben, kein einlaufen, ich würde sie sofort wieder kaufen. Hab schon so manchen Bach durchquert, bleiben dicht.
