Have had horrible luck with hiking boots the last few years. Bought these I have to say they are the most comfortable and high quality as far as construction that I have seen at an amazing price. They even included a extra set of show laces which blew me away. I normally wear a 10.5 but they suggested a size 11 and it fit perfect. Plenty of width throughout boot and a comfortable wear in all situations. I'll update in a few months and inform on durability but right now I would sat they are a home run! Read more
Excellent! I am 5’”11 @206lbs ,with a neutral foot type that prefers a bit of stability. These are perfect for my use in desert southwest and alpine terrain (USA) from sand to rock whether valley,flat, or pitched these have been excellent. I pack about 20-25 lbs most hikes and these are the perfect blend of support and comfort and they have just enough flex in the sole to keep your foot from cramping like Vibram sole boots can sometimes do. That’s important to me because on banked rock surfaces where it occasionally can get loose, I need that grippy agility to make it. These are huge value for the money in my POU/ use case scanario.

I’ve been wearing the NORTIV 8 Men’s Ankle High Waterproof Hiking Boots for almost a year, and they’ve held up well considering how hard I am on them. I work 12–16 hour days and walk a lot, both indoors and outside, and these boots have stayed warm, waterproof, and comfortable the whole time. They’re lightweight and fit true to size, which made long days much easier. One thing to know: if you have sweaty feet, these can build up odor fast unless you dry them out regularly. I learned that a bit too late. They also sent me the wrong color, but I honestly didn’t care once I saw them—the style looked fine and worked for what I needed. Overall, they’re solid boots for the price and great for long hours on your feet. Next time, I’ll probably look for something with better breathability, but these definitely got the job done.

Purchased a second pair after approximately 18 months of wear on my first pair. Overall I feel they're a good value. First pair held up well to lots of abuse and are still in use. I just wanted a second pair that looked nice. The only change I noted is they reduced one level of lace hooks at the boot tops. There's 2 levels now rather than 3. It takes a little more effort to expand the laces to put them on. Otherwise I find them comfortable with good support. They look good, are reasonably priced and appear to be well made. Read more
I bought these boots because I wanted ones that were comfortable, warm and most importantly waterproof. So far they've answered the call on all three fronts. I wore them during a weekend of rustic cabin camping where I spent most of my time outside collecting firewood, shoveling, cooking and hanging around the campfire. My feet were warm and dry the whole time. This weekend I've been digging out from the major snowstorm that hit a good chunk of the US. Once again, I've got nothing but good things to say about these boots. I just recently bought them and I won't be wearing them a lot, so I can't say anything about long-term durability, but they appear to be very well made and of high quality. Read more
The media could not be loaded. I bought these for a weekend hiking trip to Yosemite last weekend. I wasn't too sure these shoes would work for me in terms of size and wearability. First off, these were very comfortable right out of the box. The cushion was very comfortable for me as I wore them around the house first before taking them on my trip. Out on the hiking trail, these held up very well. These were absolutely very comfortable for my feet and for being out on the trails all day long, I thoroughly loved these. I did not have any slippage on any rocks or loose sand on the rocks as the soles are the vibrant type soles and were amazingly strong soles. I'm hard on my feet in my regular day job and wear tactical style boots just about every day. These shoes were definitely a break from the norm of what I wear. So, while out on the trails, these were definitely comfortable. I wear an 8.5M in all my shoes and boots and the fit and size were spot on. For those wondering, I've read alot of the reviews of these shoes and I read how people use these for work. Let me point this out...these are NOT work shoes or boots. These are made to be out on trails and to be worn in that manner. If you're the person who works say at Costco, I would not recommend wearing these there. If you work in a construction environment, these are not for that. These are strictly for being out in the dirt trails and would likely last a good year or more if taken care of properly and worn properly. But each to their own. I really Ike these and would consider getting another pair and maybe a different color. Photos are from new out of the box, to when I returned home. Barely to no wear on them after 2.5 days of hiking. I did not get them wet in any way shape or form so I do not know their water durability. Read more
Not a bit of leather anywhere. Very similar to the Merrill just by looks alone. Good stitching. Good glue up. I could do without the "waterproofing" One has too wonder what that means. They seem to have a good sturdy platform. Fit is good for a 12. They came with extra laces. Interesting that the soles look as if they had been turned upside down and something is laid across them and then spray painted black, leaving three light color stripes on the soles. I doubt they will last very long ad I do lots of yard work. I will spend the extra next time. These are made in China. Read more
