NORTIV 8 Men's Military Tactical Work Boots Side Zipper Leather Motorcycle Combat Boots Trooper

Very happy with these boots. I bought them as part of my uniform for an EMT program. My pair lasted about a year of near constant use before the upper began to separate from the sole. pros: - Very comfy from the beginning - Flexible and supportive - Smooth zipper - Durable laces cons (should be taken with a grain of sale due to heavy use): - Insole began to deteriorate after about 6 months. However, I replaced it with a Superfeet insole and had zero issues. Highly recommend swapping the insoles. - Leather upper separated from the edges of the rubber sole. This is a fairly budget pair of boots though, so I'm not upset. - Velcro above the zipper became very frayed and less effective after only a few months.

Initial Review – Received 12/07/2025 This is just my first impression of the boots. I’ll post a follow-up review on comfort and durability after I’ve worn them for a week or two. Here are my initial thoughts: Pros 1. Price & First Impressions: For this type of boot, the price is outstanding. They may not be a big-name brand, but after years in the military and law enforcement—and owning boots from Danner, Galls, Under Armour, Oakley, and Bates—I can say my first impression was right on par with opening a new pair from any of those companies. (And yes, I still love the smell of fresh leather in the morning.) 2. Stitching & Build Quality: The leather is smooth and took two quick coats of polish extremely well, resulting in a very clean shine—not something I can say for every major brand. So far, I’m impressed. The zippers move easily, feel solid, and don’t seem prone to snagging or binding. The Velcro tab that secures the zipper is also strong. Lacing them up is straightforward. 3. Initial Comfort: Right out of the box, the boots felt surprisingly comfortable—almost like they were already broken in. At the time of writing, I’ve worn them for about six hours, and everything feels great so far. Cons 1. Upper Eyelets: I wish the top two or three eyelets were speed-lace loops. It’s not a big issue—it just takes a few extra seconds to lace them up. The existing eyelets are roomy, though, and the laces slide through them easily. 2. Pull Loop: A pull tab on the back would make putting the boots on a bit easier. Not a dealbreaker, just something that would be a nice addition.

Well made and seem to be a fairly comfortable boot. The zipper on the side is beneficial for getting them on and off quicker than lacing. The only complaint i have is that I ordered a 12 wide and they are NOT wide. They either aren't wide (although they are branded so) or i would suggest anyone ordering a standard 12 to order the wide and you'll be fine.

What you get for the price is awesome. They fit well and seem to be well constructed. They feel great on my feet right out of the box and were comfortable to run around in for about 5 hours out on the rage while training. I don’t know how well they will hold up to daily use, but out in the desert on the rage running around on weekends, they seem to be good

First of all, I will always look to buy from this seller first. I ordered an 11 because that’s what my Podiatrist said I needed to do. I’ve had issues in the past with shoe sizes. In the military an 11 gave me horrible blisters and 10.5 were too tight. The same issue came up with these boots. Size 11 was way too loose and had too much room in the toe of the boot. I had purchased the boots on a Prime Day deal, which gave me super good pricing for these boots. So, I contacted the seller and explained the situation. They had me purchase a 10.5 (which were more money than the 11, since Prime Day was over) and they refunded me the difference. That’s amazing customer service and the way it should be! As for the boots, they are a sharp looking boot with a nice non-slip sole. Comfort-wise, they are very comfortable. There will be very little break-in needed with these. Sizing is the difficult part. I am not going to deduct a star since this is a common issue for me. But, my suggestion is if you have any doubts about the size, just order your normal size and one size down as well, and send back the pair that don’t fit as well. Overall, great experience with both the seller and the boots.

This boot is true to size. (15 wide) I really like the side zipper. Hopefully, it stands the test of time. It is very comfortable. It also has the traditional laces for optimal fit

I purchased these boots and as soon as I got them I put them on and wore them half the day...other than my doc Martin's pretty much the most comfortable boot I have ever put on my feet!! Never thought i would put on a zipper boot but I absolutely love them ...they are so comfortable and seemingly broke in already.. wore them all day the next day and after with no issue...I bought them for riding boots and they didn't disappoint. Took a little spill and they got a little scuffed ( see pic, took the asphalt better than my skin haha ) they absolutely did the job....protected my feet and akles.....I ride every day so I wear them everyday to and from work...they aren't heavy but I have a lax work uniform so no point in wearing boots all day especially not with shorts...overhaul great boot, fit great, super comfortable and they look great too. So you can imagine how surprised I was when I felt a something under my right foot between the heel and middle of the foot and then I heard the click noise as I felt it and it just keeps getting worse... the sole cracked ....omg... such a disappointment mostly because it happened in less than 90 days...they are at a great price point so I expected to get at least a year out of them as they seemed pretty well made... far better than Walmart...but less than 90 days and a cracked sole....not good... at this rate I might as well stick with docs...anyway hope this helps you make your decision...overhaul great boot they just didn't last long enough ...don't wanna buy 4 pair a year....insert sad face here

Oct 2025 Normally I wait 6 months to write a review so I have more experience with a product, but these boots rate immediate comments. Comfort, these boots are superior to numerous name brand and far more expensive boots I have tried. I put these on the day they arrived to wear around the house for awhile. Within an hour or so they were feeling broken in. Next day I wore them all day and they felt great the whole time. Construction, appears to be very well done. There is a row of stitching at the top of the molded sole that I am hoping will prevent separation of the sole from the foot bed which is a problem with boots and sneakers of similar construction.. Of course they cannot be resoled, so how long they will hold up is yet to be seen. At the present price point, if they last 8 or more months they will prove to be an excellent value. Sizing, I wear 13-13.5 US men's and am very happy with the 13 I ordered. At this time I highly recommend this boot and will update as to durability in the coming months. I am not familiar with this brand, Nortiv 8, beyond this purchase but am impressed so far.
