Men's Ankle High Waterproof Hiking 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, but these are plenty comfortable even without saying they're wide. 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.

These are very comfortable boots. I bought and returned my first 9 regular and got 9 wide. The wide is perfect for my big foot. The toe box of the wide is very comfy, there is room to move but not sloppy by any means!!! The speed laces are something I look for in all my boots. The speed (top hook laces) are really good quality and not sharp at all, I have had speed laces on other boots actually cut the laces. I will break these in, wear them at work and beat them up on hikes. There is great ankle support and well padded in the ankle as well. The price can't be beat either!!! I have a pronated step and expensive Merells kill my ankles and knees, these do not.

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 boots are a big find! Gotta love the comfort, performance, and value. Thanks for the tip Casey 250! Traction is excellent in snow, rain, dirt, rock, even impressive on ice. They don't feel like you're wearing plastic bags on your feet like some membrane fabrics do. Lighter than expected and surprisingly good all day comfort which is saying a lot from a guy with skin pressure issues, specially on the feet. If the durability is as good as he says, I might be replacing more of my higher end boots with this brand as needed.

Bought these as a Father's Day gift for my hubby. He loves them. He was pleasantly surprised that they came with extra laces. Hopefully these shoes will last him for at least 6 months. He has severe bunions on both feet and his shoes we have bought at our local store always bust out on the insides where his bunions are with in 3 months. Maybe these shoes will last him much longer. We shall see! Moisture wicking? No idea yet, he just got them today. Softness and ease of use? With his severe bunions, these style of "soft sided" shoes it's always the most comfortable for him. Plus he has weak ankles that twist easily, so having a "soft sided" boot is a must for him. The tread on the bottom of these look good. I will not have to worry about him losing his footing on slippery terrains. He wears this style of shoe all year around so the tread is very important. Besides the soft sides, and the size, which is a challenge where he needs wide shoes in a14 for the bunions, but the tread. If there is no tread on the shoes, not only will he not purchase then, but he won't wear them. So the tread on these shoes look incredible. As for the ease of cleaning, hmmm. Well he doesn't typically get his shoes very dirty. We don't do a lot of hiking with our disabilities. I will say that for people who have bad bunions on the feet, and leather or hard sided shoes become painful. Having shoes like these are exactly what makes his walking comfortable. And I'm not sure if others have found this to be, but as you age, your feet tend to become flatter. So then needing shoes that are larger and wider are a must for less painful feet. The price, it is ok. If these shoes last 6 months or more from daily use, then the price is very fair. But we will know that later in the year around December to sometime next year.

These boots look and feel like a quality product right out of the box. I purchased the 10 Wide for my 4.4-inch wide foot, and the fit was excellent following the sizing guidelines. I used them on a 3day hiking trip in Hot Springs, Arkansas, covering about 15 miles through varying terrain and elevation, and they performed really well. Break-in was quick; I only wore them around the house for a day beforehand and I had no issues with blisters or hot spots. What I Like • Very comfortable, especially for wide feet • Great grip for hiking across different terrains • Quick break-in period with no discomfort • Look and feel like a quality boot Things to Consider • Not fully waterproof. fine for rain and wet conditions, but not ideal for deeper water crossings Who This Is Best For • Great for hikers looking for a comfortable, wide-friendly boot at a more affordable price • Ideal for day hikes or multi-day trips where full waterproofing isn’t required

I'm going to give this 3 stars. It's taken me a while, due to procrastination, to set this review. They are comfortable and they feel durable. The reason I've taken two stars off is due to the fact that on my very first hike, on a very VERY chill path (Calvert Cliffs, look it up.) the metal prong at the very top row of the boot broke off? That hike involves no jumping, sliding, climbing, or anything. It broke at some point from the tension of the shoe lace.... Still really love the boots, have been hiking with them every other day and riding my motorcycle with them (don't ask) and they are holding up nicely (despite that one tab)

I am absolutely in love with these boots! I wear a size 15 wide shoe and it's very difficult for me to find well fitting footwear, but these Nortiv 8 boots fit me perfectly and are the most comfortable I've worn in decades! I decided to go with the synthetic uppers rather than the suede based on a recommendation by Amazon's AI, 'Rufus' who explained that suede doesn't hold up as well and isn't as waterproof as the synthetic. Plus they look just great! In the first three weeks after I received them I put them to the test on many all day hikes into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains where they held up perfectly in all types of terrain, including swampy muddy areas, rocky sharp aggregate, smooth slippery limestone, volcanic mudflow, and loose gravel. I've hiked in downpouring rain, fog, even some snow and my feet never got wet. They are truly waterproof. My feet tend to be cold by nature but these boots paired with thick socks kept my feet warm! I really like the lacing system on these boots. The laces don't bind, they're easy to loosen and tighten, adjusting the boot's fit depending on the thickness of the socks you're wearing or other factors. They even come with an extra pair of laces which can really come in handy. The tread on these boots is rugged and hold up really well to the abuse I put them through on my many hikes. Even after clocking over 200 miles on these boots the treads still look nearly new. I was so impressed with the fit, the style, and performance of these boots that I ordered a second pair right away. I plan to use one pair for my rugged back hills hiking and the second pair for walking, day hikes, and other more casual occasions.

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.

I'm so impressed with these boots for the price very comfortable and went for a walk on the beach to test them out and the water repels off the boot pretty much 100% waterproof just look at my video 5star... also just come back from snowboarding for a week still impressive didn't slip and slide thanks

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

Got these for my son. He says they’re warm, comfortable and dry. They seem to be a good fit with plenty of room. Pretty good quality for the price as well.
