NORTIV 8 Mens Hiking Boots Waterproof Trekking Outdoor Mid Backpacking Mountaineering Shoes,Size

After reading many reviews and the note on the item page saying that they generally fit to size, I picked up a pair of 9.5 black boots (with some grey trim) as I dig anything in black. If Batman wore a hiking shoe, this would be it. The stitching is well done and the fabric looks great - they don't look poorly made by any means. They appear to be water proof/resistant up to about half-way up the boot, at which point the water would seep in through the top - they aren't hip gaitors or water boots, so I wouldn't expect them to handle much more than a few inches deep puddle/mud. They feel super comfortable underneath my feet and around the sides - nothing awkwardly poking into the arch of my foot or the sides of my ankles. While I did pick my usual size, they do feel *ever so slightly roomy* - but I am wearing super thin socks and if I were wearing a thicker pair, I'm sure the shoe would be filled out a bit more. Also, I feel like if I got a smaller size AND wore a thicker pair of socks, I would find it slightly cramped. Also! Hiking tends to make your feet a bit bigger from the bloodflow so I think it's a good call to settle on a little roomy rather than a perfect fit when you're at home on a couch. I like how easily they go on/come off - you don't have to do much lacing/delacing or do any forcing of your foot into it. You can feel that the sole is made from different materials in different spots - treads are made of a rubber to give you grip where the rest of the sole is made from a harder material to make the soles last longer. Toe cap for a bit of protection/grip/easier ascents. Comes with an extra pair of laces. The photo on the item page does it fair justice but if I get around to pulling out my camera, I'll add a few photos of the shoes before I begin destroying them. All in all - super happy with my purchase and I trust they will serve me well on my thru-hike of the WCT in a month. Thanks for the sick boots, Nortiv8!

At first I was bit sceptical about purchasing looking onto the limited reviews however I liked the shoes design and details. I must say you will not be disappointed with the quality, design and comfort. A very good pair of shoes and I highly recommend it. I have seen both the brown and black variant (Initially I ordered the brown pair but returned), and I went with the black one which looks even better in every terms compared to the other. Thank you NortiV8.

Within 5 months stitching was coming apart. Not a good boot

Bought for everyday light work wear.Good looking boots, but less than 5 months down the line,they seem to be disintegrating . No durability at all.letting in water,soon after pursue.( When I a say light work,I mean walking during window cleaning round)My advice,spend the extra on a proven brand,and save yourself in the long run

Very light, and indeed waterproof, shoes are a bit too large but work well, it is a good pair of hiking boots for purchasing.
