NORTIV 8 Men's Waterproof Hiking Shoes Leather

I honestly purchased these shoes expecting them to just be returned due to fit or quality but instead they are absolutely AMAZING!!! I’ve had them now for a little over a month and my history with shoes is quite complex. My past shoes have been high end brands with price tags over three digits and/or goretex styles. I’m female but after multiple ankle surgeries I’ve had a hard time finding women’s shoes that fit and have only had luck with men’s wide for years now. I also reside in farmland so I consider waterproof shoes a necessity. I shopped around stores and had tried on multiple pairs but none were meeting both fit and waterproof criteria so I ordered these. The day before they arrived I did find a pair that cost 3x more. When the Nortive8 arrived they did have an odor so I let them air out of the box for a day. It seemed most of the odor was associated with the box and airing them out worked. I then tried them on and the fit was exactly how the chart said it would be. I really liked that there was a chart that showed the difference between each size in regular and wide width by measuring your foot. I even found that there was a website for this brand that had the model and same size charts with how to measure. Fit has always been my number one reason why a shoe gets returned or put back on the shelf and this passed the test! Now I’m not running trails but using these as everyday shoes but I am super impressed with how versatile they are. Standing on concrete floors waiting in the store line or walking around grocery shopping? The cushion insoles are comfortable and feet feel good. Walking the dog? Grass, gravel, and a romp on a creek trail is not a problem. My bad ankle feels supported by the upper material. They haven’t slipped when crossing over rocks in the creeks. They don’t feel too heavyweight but not as lightweight as you’d find with goretex waterproof styles. Waterproofness has been tested and my feet have remained dry walking in the rain or through wet grass and small puddles. Should your pup decide to go for a swim and pull you off balance into a pond and the shoes are submerged, then they are not waterproof. Insoles are removable and the mud cleaned off easily. One more thing I like about them is that the shoelaces are long enough to double knot. Most other shoes I buy replacement laces so I can do this. Oh, remember that pair I bought at 3x more than this? Had I not worn them they would have been returned!! With the exception of color the Nortiv beats them on everything and are the pair that I grab for!! I truly am surprised by how good this pair of shoes are for the price and would definitely recommend buying these! I’m going to be buying Nortiv 8 again and forget about those other brands!

I have been wearing Keen hiking shoes now for a few years. I was a bit skeptical about buying these Nortiv8 hiking shoes on Amazon as I was not familiar with the brand. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality construction and durability of these shoes, so far it turns out to be a pretty good decision! With the price of similar hiking shoes two times the price of these, I figured I would take a chance, and if they fell apart or wore out in a few years, I would still be happy! The shoes’ fit was perfect for my seemingly wide feet, as they slip right into the shoes with no pressure points. I'm happy to say they seem to be well-built. They are comfortable, as I was able to wear them for several hours while doing yard work in my large 2-acre yard without any issues. They also have some cushion in the insoles, which really helps when going for a nice walk on a park trail, or a short hike in the nearby mountains. These Nortiv8s also have a large toe box, which feels good for my feet and toes. For each pair of hiking shoes, Nortiv8 also includes a 2nd pair of shoe laces – a nice touch! They also seem to be heavier than my Keen hiking shoes, and slightly bulkier. One thing that kind of bugs me is their shoe laces – they are several inches too short. If I put the laces in the top holes, I can barely tie them – maybe I shouldn’t use the top holes (?). I definitely cannot use a double knot that I like to use before I go hiking. The tongue on these shoes is quite thick, and the shoes also feel a bit clunky – but perhaps they just need to be ‘broken in’ some (as their website suggests). But these are small complaints when considering the price, comfort, and the quality of the shoes. I haven’t yet tried to see how ‘waterproof’ they are yet, but if I have any issues, I will just clean them off and spray them with the 3M boot waterproof protection I have (I did this with my Keen hiking shoes and it made them look a little darker (an enhancement!) but it worked perfectly! Please note that on the Nortiv8 website, there are details on how the hiking shoes should fit, what socks to wear, and how to break-in these shoes – very helpful! I would recommend these shoes as of now, so pick up a pair and you shouldn’t be disappointed. I'll update my review if something goes wrong with the shoes over the long term, but for now, I am very happy with this purchase.

Solid Everyday Hiking Shoes with a Few Trade-offs These Nortiv 8 low-top hiking shoes get a lot right at an affordable price point. The first thing I noticed was the sturdy leather and synthetic build—these look and feel durable enough for frequent trail use. They are definitely waterproof; I walked through wet grass and shallow puddles, and my socks stayed dry. The tread grips well on dirt and rocky terrain, and they feel stable underfoot. That said, they run a bit heavy compared to other hiking shoes I’ve worn. On longer hikes, I started to feel some fatigue in my legs. The break-in period is also noticeable—the leather was stiff at first, and I needed a few wears before they softened up. Comfort-wise, they’re supportive but not as cushioned as premium brands, so if you have sensitive feet you may want to add an insole. Style-wise, they’re classic and versatile. I wouldn’t wear them as everyday sneakers, but they look good for casual outdoor use. Sizing ran true for me. Bottom line: A tough, waterproof, budget-friendly hiking shoe that gets the job done for weekend trails and outdoor chores, though a little on the heavy side and not the softest ride for all-day treks.

These shoes are very comfortable and fit very well for the size. They look good and seem to be high quality. The one thing I noticed with them is that the sole beneath the ball of your foot is shaped a little oddly, making it feel like you are stepping on something. This only lasted for a few days, but it wasn't what I'm used to from hiking shoes like these. The shoes also seem to tend to angle your ankles inward, though that may just be my own ankles as I have that in other shoes sometimes as well. The shoes offer good traction on terrain, but I've found them to have very poor traction on wet floors. You can easily slide around on a wet floor as if you were wearing ice skates. But otherwise, the traction is good. Overall, these are good shoes and I'd recommend them for anyone looking for a good hiking shoe at a decent cost.

Comfortable with good traction, but very very heavy. They do not dry very fast, I fully submerged them and they've barley dried after 24 hrs.

A little over a month in and so far, so good. They are comfortable and are holding up well. They seem well made and the waterproofing has worked well.

Had them about two weeks, feel very comfortable and I'm on my feet almost 10 hours a day delivering auto parts. I reccomended them to a coworker and he just ordered a pair. The size does run slightly small so I suggest getting a size bigger than normal. Well worth the money!

Just what I needed to walk the dogs across wet grass at the park. Not as much support or cusion as I would have liked. They do get a bit hot when temps rise, but I purchased these for fall through spring and they have been great for keeping feet dry this spring. Lost a star for lack of cusion/support, but it could be my feet too. If you have really wide feet, these worked for me, but barely. Wish they had xx-wide. For the price-point, have to give them 4 stars. I am happy with these shoes. Not thrilled, but happy.

Super cómodos

Es el segundo par que he comprado de estas zapatillas; mi experiencia es que se trata de un producto de sorprendente calidad, bien terminado (se aprecia una mejora en los acabados de esta marca), robusto y resistente pero sin dejar de ser cómodo. La suela tiene buen grip, el cierre (cordaje) es muy bueno, facilitando la operación de calzado y descalzado.

Buena calidad, cómodos.

Entre les NORTIV 8 Bottes d’hiver pour Hommes Imperméables (Doublure Chaude & Confortable) Ref A0014 (https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B07FTFK9GW?psc=1) et ces chaussures, c’est parfait. ENFIN une marque qui propose des produits conformes à la description. Les bottes hiver tiennent bien leur rôle dans la neige ou sous la pluie et laisse les pieds au sec dans un très bon confort. Les chaussures basses tiennent bien leur rôle. Même dans une rosée intense et fraîche, les pieds restent au sec avec toujours ce même confort proposé par Nortiv8. Utilisées dans les deux cas à raison d'une à deux heures par jours en marche rapide, ces chaussures sont parfaites. Et le tout à des prix parfaitement acceptables ! Pour avoir testé des marques bien plus chères, Nortiv8 est une excellente surprise. Cerise sur le gâteau, Nortiv8 propose EN PLUS des demi-tailles. Que demander de plus ? Recommandées sans modération;)

Son buenos tenis, cómodos, resistentes, la suela tiene buen agarre, no son los más ligeros pero tampoco están exageradamente pesados, los use para hacer un recorrido de más de 20 km entre rocas y aguas y funcionaron muy bien, la protección en la punta es muy útil.
