NORTIV 8 Men's Ankle High Waterproof Hiking Boots

This is my 3rd purchase of Nortiv 8 boots. I had been trying to find some hiking boots that actually stood up the the term "Hiking" I do on average 8 or 9 miles per day and was fed up with boots not lasting a reasonable time. I purchased some high spec leather boots from an outdoor specialist store with the promise I could get from Lands end to John o Groats without needing new boots in Manchester. Assuming an average of only 60 miles per week after 16 weeks, approximately 960 miles the soles were finished. A £250 pair of boots in need of a re-sole at a cost of £85. In my search for something cheap to tide me over while they were being repaired I stumbled on Nortiv 8 and was impressed by the reviews, some quoting between 1200 and 1500 miles. This was from boots priced at under £50. I ordered a pair and straight out of the box instant comfort. Looked well made and even came with a spare set of laces. 32 weeks and in excess of 1900 miles later they finally gave up being waterproof while on holiday in Cornwall. I just hit buy again for another pair to be delivered to my location. I didn't notice that I had managed to order a different spec boot and was slightly concerned that the new ones would not be as good. How wrong can you get, these went on for 34 weeks before they too lost the ability to stay waterproof. I had put the repaired leather boots into store until needed, so I put them into service. They lasted 14 weeks so here I am back getting more Nortiv 8 boots. For the money I wasted on "posh" boots I could have bought 5 or 6 pairs of these and still have at least 3 pairs in stock. If you want boots that can stand up to heavy use and little need for maintenance other than the occasional spray of waterproofer you won't go far wrong with these.

This is my second time buying these boots, which says a lot about how good they’ve been. I use them for hiking, walking and work, and they’ve been comfortable and reliable in all three situations. My first pair lasted around a year with almost daily use, so I definitely got my money’s worth. I do feel the quality may have dropped slightly compared to my first pair, but they’re still a solid pair of boots for the price. Overall, if you’re after a comfortable, waterproof boot that can handle everyday wear as well as outdoor use, I’d happily recommend these.

Purchased 6 months ago and am very pleased with the comfort, durability and fit of the boots, having undertaken a few long treks. However, in no way should they be described as waterproof. Out in the lightest of rain, or walking through wet grass results in soggy feet.

Excellent quality boots that fit well. I do long walks every Sunday (6-8 miles) and so far have no complaints; good build quality and comfortable. Would recommend the wide fit option if you have big feet like me (12); that fraction of extra space will prevent corns, blisters etc.

I ordered these as my car broke down in France and I left my much loved but ultra expensive gortex all weather boots in the back while awaiting recovery to UK . Currently December and I had two quick trips to the Baltic's, Lithuania and Poland so needed some boots fast. Read the reviews and it was these and the price point ( still hope to get my Gortex back) and the speed of delivery that did it for me. These boots have been excellent. Arrived next day Amazon Prime in time for my trips. I ordered the size 12 as I usually take size ,11 UK when it comes to trainers/shoes but I order one size up when it comes to boots as I wear with walking/winter socks. When these boots arrived I did a quick test and although they worked with the socks were a tad on the tight side so I did a return and got size 13 which have worked out really well , my advice therefore would be order one size up from your normal walking boots. These boots are lightweight but fit well and are comfortable , so far have proven warm and completely waterproof even in heavy snow. At one point I lost my drone which lost the signal and decided to do an impromptu landing so I had to go off piste and recover, the snow came right up to the top of the boots without entering and the boots remained warm and weather tight throughout . As regards the grip I note some have made unfavourable comment but I have found to be excellent even in snow and ice. The tread is deep and rugged and should last for quite some time although I will probably put them away until next winter now. I wear these boots with the laces done up to the first ankle hook only which I find works best for me leaving more flexibility in the ankle but guess that's a personal choice . Highly recommend these boots but order one size up.

Comfortable boots, good sizing, sturdy as well as waterproof. Extra pair of laces included which is a bonus. A good price as well. Very pleased with them.

Review written 24.06.26 four weeks after purchase (see earlier review below for how they were two weeks after wearing) These have now split at the seam inside the boot. They have been used for 4-6 miles a day over the last twenty days, but i’ve had boots that have done the same over the same ground that have lasted years. The split is not even in a high friction place like the toes or the laces. I suspect these boots will no longer be waterproof when that happens. I can feel the seam split when walking too, so i can't ignore it. Review written 12.06.26, set at 3 stars out of 5 I purchased these to stop wearing my more premium Keen Targhee III and Berghaus HIllwalker boots for daily dog walking. The Nortivs have only been used for daily 5 mile dog walks totalling approximately 35 miles so far, in all weathers except snow Comfort/Fit - I went from an Keen/Berghaus 10.5 UK to a 10 Wide in these, and really, there is very little difference. These are a little higher on the ankle than i'm used to, but again, you mostly forget about them after a while. There is the odd occasion they feel a little thin on the sole or ever so slightly unbalanced, but it's so very rare. Just enough to notice, not long enough to be worth complaining about. I've never been wildly uncomfortable in them. They don't feel as premium as Keen or Berghaus, and they are definitely a downgrade from those brands, but not so much you feel you'd never wear them again. I wouldn't want to wear them twenty miles from home, but on long local dog walks, you should be fine. Score 3/5 Waterproofing - They're.... odd. Your feet send a message to the brain to say they feel wet, but when you take the boots off, your feet don't feel wet. They don't feel dry either. In hot weather, your feet will feel recognisably sweaty. I guess that the boots don't keep temperatures out very well, like long wet grass early in the morning etc, and that's what makes your feet feel different. It doesn't inspire confidence in these boots. Score 3/5 Durability - These have been out for approximately 30 miles of walking along grass, concrete, trail etc,, and already, the left boot feels like it may have developed a tiny leak. They do feel sturdy, and i have been wandering through mud and on the edge of streams, and my feet haven't felt flooded yet. But the left foot is definitely feeling something different to the right The boots pick up smells very easily. I walk over a tiny bit of boggy spring water, and they've kept that smell already. The Keens took over a hundred miles of walking to even start to keep the bog smell with them. Score 3/5 Conclusion - for £42, just walking local muddy trails, through long wet grass, and so on, they're a 4/5. They're very good value for money (so far), but the feeling they return through your feet does make you wonder if you'd want to be depending on them for long outdoor walks far from home.

Nice boots. Not worn yet. Bit annoyed price went down just after buying them

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

Good hiking boots

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 gustaron , cumplen muy bien y son cómodas , acostumbro a usar botas , es mi estilo y la verdad muy buen precio calidad, solo tengan en cuenta que la medida de su pie no es la de la bota ya que la medida es de Japón con un número más grande, teniendo eso en cuenta debo pedir una 30 por qué yo uso 31 en México y me arriesgue con una 30.5 , al final con un calcetín más grueso quedo súper cómoda, de echo el día que las estrene me tocó una lluvia y en una zona de mi ciudad donde de forma legendaria cada año se inunda, no se metió el agua al pie , solo tengan en cuenta no dejarlas totalmente sumergidas por mucho tiempo, creo que hacerlo la probabilidad aumenta de que se meta el agua donde está la legueta pero bueno a mi me funcionó bastante bien y estoy contento con la compra, voy a comprar otro color , el gris se mira bien

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.
