Men's Waterproof Hiking Shoes Leather Low-Top Hiking Shoes for Outdoor Trailing Trekking Camping Walking

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.

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.

These hiking shoes are comfortable right out of the box and provide good support for long walks and trails. The waterproofing works well, keeping my feet dry in wet grass, shallow puddles, and light rain. The tread grips nicely on dirt, gravel, and uneven terrain, making them versatile for different outdoor activities. I wear them a lot, and with heavy regular use they do not last as long as I would like. The soles and material start showing wear faster than higher-end hiking shoes. However, for someone who hikes only occasionally or uses them for lighter activities, they should last a long time. The fit is true to size, and they are comfortable enough for all-day wear. For the price, they are a solid value, especially for casual or occasional hikers who want waterproof protection and decent durability.

“I purchased these for my husband, originally just as a good-looking, waterproof everyday shoe. What surprised me is how quickly they became his go-to work shoes. He says they’re very sturdy, but also really comfortable, which is hard to find in a shoe like this. He’s been wearing them regularly for work, and they’ve held up well, so much so that I’m now purchasing a second pair for him to wear as his everyday shoes. If you’re looking for something that looks nice but can also handle more rugged, daily use, these have worked really well for him.”

These are decent for hikes/walks under 30minutes, IF you add a comfortable insole. When I do 1hr+ walks in these my feet are pretty sore for a few hours afterwards, whereas in tennis shoes they are not. But for walking in the snow they are better than my athletic shoes....just sore feet after.

I used to work long hours in a tough physical job and constantly suffered from foot pain. I visited the hospital more than once, and the doctors recommended expensive shoes and described them to me. I bought them, but I wasted my money for three whole years and got no benefit from them. But thank God, I finally found this amazing shoe! It helped me and I completely overcame my problem. I feel great comfort during my hard working hours. It’s very lightweight, and every aspect of it is excellent. I searched for it for a long time. I recommend everyone to buy it, especially those who work long hours in tough jobs. This is the perfect shoe for everyone.

3rd pair and no complaints 1st high top purchase was size larger knowing I was going to wear winter socks riding motorcycle fit was great 2nd high top summer motorcycle shoes size smaller and wear great with ankle socks 3rd low top outdoor shoes great fit and if anything like high top quality should last longer than the last pair of different name brand that doubled in price for no reason A quality purchase for a reasonable price that will last Use the size chart and size is accurate

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.
