NORTIV 8 Men's Military Tactical Work Boots Side Zipper Leather Motorcycle Combat Boots Trooper(6-8 Inches)

These boots are well made for the money. I own boots that are several hundred dollars that are very nice boots, down to these 50dollar boots and everywhere in between. These for the price, and even if they were more expensive so far after a couple of weeks I'd still be satisfied. Materials seem to be decent, the bottoms are a soft, you won't have that hard shank. Kicking over a dirtbike, you feel it, spending time on an extension ladder you feel that as well. Things like that aren't pleasant. But walking in the woods and running around outside or on concrete so far they are good. They aren't water proof, but they have a decent wide toe box, the zip is great for kicking them off and getting them on, they are comfortable out of the box, if they dig into your ankle, take them off, and bend the rear heel cap along the stitch line out and back and forth and it will soften it and stop that. Good Zipper, good traction in dirt wet and concrete, look decent, I like them. Especially for the price. I don't know how long they will last obviously, I'm like 6ft 175 and wear them daily at work interior construction and in the woods shooting and walking, and so far holding up well. Whatever you wear in likes or jordans, likes in general or thorogood moc toe red wing moc these run true to that in my experience. I'd buy them again, and have been looking at other nortiv8 hikers and tactical boots. I'd love to review more boots as I wear alot of shoes and go through alot of boots. Just got sick of destroying expensive boots doing silly stuff at work, so decided I'd get some cheaper boots and turns out these are more comfy out of the box.

My arches have fallen (flat feet). In short, not good. Our good US Navy saw no issue putting a very flat-footed individual on an 8-story aircraft carrier for 4 years. Anyway... Finding boots/shoes that work is nearly impossible and these boots are fantastic, right out of the box. The heavy-duty zipper makes things much easier coming and going, the internal arch support is amazing, the toe box is big enough to wiggle my toes and I can walk my dogs 1.5-2 miles daily without arch pain. I also wear Nortiv snow boots which have very similar arch support that led me to try these boots. They are also warmer than I expected and feel extremely durable. I will post an update if my experience doesn't align with my expectations after wearing them for a while.Update: after one month, they feel even better. In fact, they are so good at ordered the black pair so I could have a pair to work in and walk the dogs without messing the suede pair up, because they are a sharp looking boot that I started wearing to work in a business environment. Note that I had also purchased the Nike boots that are very similar to them and while the Nike boots are comfortable, they do not match the fit and support of these boots. When I lace them, I do so with force, as tight as possible, and they keep my weak and damaged ankles extremely secure. Two weeks ago, while walking the dogs on an asphalt path, I wiped out on a stretch of ice, kind of a contorted version of the splits on the way down, while wearing the black boots. When I got back on my feet, my left ankle was a little sore, but I have no doubt that if I had not had those boots on, laced tightly, it would’ve been a short walk back home or more like a hobble back home, but I was able to quickly walk off the soreness, and after a half a mile, I didn’t even know it happened.I will update this if I see where, in wear issues with either pair. For now, they give me tremendous confidence that my ankles are secure, and tremendous comfort! Note that I also wear them with very thick wool socks which also add to the comfort and our fantastic if you have neuropathy as I do. Either way, you cannot go wrong with these boots for the price. They are far better than the military boots I was issued while serving.UPDATE: At walking 2-4 miles a day, I put approximately 800 miles on the black pair before they began breaking down. The Nike boots I bought broke down after half that period of wear. I have no problem replacing $60 boots after 800 miles. The boot itself did not tear or show signs of wear and tear, but my pronating ankles pushed the insides of the soles out after that period, eliminating the support needed for multi-mile walks. The zippers still work perfectly and the boots still look great and are fine for casual wear. This is a very solid product. Highly recommend.

Just received these today my second pair of Nortiv 8 , first pair were 6" hikers and they're doing fine . Now onto these 8" side zips , I never really understood the side zip concept . The intent is that you can leave them laced and tied and use the side zip to put them on and off . This has never worked for me and I don't have Bigfoot feet . Anyways initial impression is they feel good right out of the box and will require little break in , they're light and just what I wanted for a summer boot high top . Very decent boot for the price , my reason for 4 stars and not 5 is there is no finger pull assist on the back of the coller thats minus a star for me . Size 11 roomy for me could have dropped a half size but thats always been a gamble .

I love them, I've been wearing them for the past couple of days and they are the most durable and comfortable boots my feet have been in. The zipper work wonderfully, and they are the correct size with the new boot smell

These were my first boots I bought for airsoft. Definitely very high quality. I don't slip in these no matter what terrain I'm in during airsoft games. These saved my ankles so many times, I bought them last year and these are still in perfect condition! Great protection for your feet, excellent for airsoft. The materials are high quality and feel great! Would definitely buy again.
