NORTIV 8 Men's Waterproof Winter Snow Boots

Great boot for the price. The fit is accurate to your normal shoe size. They are very comfortable with the stock insoles and didn't feel I needed to add comfort insoles. (I have flat feet and plantar fascitis). I have worn these boots all day in and out of stores, across the snow and ice, riding on buses, trollies, teams, walking through parks, going to restaurants in the same day and no issues with discomfort regarding the comfort aspect. They came with a second set of laces and I thought that was an indication of what to expect but after three months of heavy (everyday in the snow) use, they are still holding up. The quality of the boots is exceptional, especially for the price. I am rough on footwear and didn't expect much but am very surprised with this purchase. I bought this boot in the US to travel to Kahzakstan during the winter months. They have demonstrated durability and quality construction. They are waterproof from what I can tell and yes, I went tromping through the snow and slosh and my feet came out dry. The bad. The tops are bulky due to the insulation. This is expected but overlooked on how your pants will fit over them ...don't expect to wear you skinny jeans. The top of the toe box is rubber, it is insulated on the inside but also transfers cold. I actually ended up getting a pair of insulated insoles to put in the bottom to help insulate from the cold from the bottom. My toes did get very cold (painful cold) after a full day of snow sledding with the kiddo. The insulated insoles with three pair of socks seemed to keep it at bay. They are a bit heavy. (As expected). I wore them on the plane from Florida to Kahzakstan so I didn't get dinged on airport weight. Yes, they were hot but better than paying overweight fees. I would/will definitely purchase these boots again. I did decide to leave them for my inlaws to give to someone in need so I didn't have to bring them back strictly due to the weight.

Somewhat different viewpoint from someone in the southern U.S. with limited need for an insulated winter boot. Doesn't make sense for me to pay top dollar for the high-end boots, so found these with solid reviews and a favorable price. Needed them for a trip to extreme northern Sweden in February to see the Northern Lights (temps from 9-28F). Got ones half a size larger which was a perfect fit with heavy socks. Boot quality was good with no issues around the seams, eyelets or laces (as mentioned in some other reviews). Feet stayed warm for hours outside at night standing on a frozen lake and on packed snow and on a mountain top (approx. 3,800 ft.). Took two hikes (4 and 6 miles) on back-to-back days and the boots were comfortable overall, despite these being the first real wear. Some rubbing higher on the ankle, partially because I haven't worn boots in awhile. Hikes were over a mix of hard-packed and banked snow and had no issue with slipping or with moisture getting through the boot. I was a little nervous about how these would perform (the whole "you get what you pay for" concept), but these performed really well for my purposes.

I got these today and wore them around the house for a couple of hours. They are pretty tight. I got the shoe size that I wear. It felt really good when I finally took them off. I then realized I didn't even have my thick wool socks on. These weren't going to work for me. I sent them back and am going to order a half size or size larger and get the wide option. They were very warm. They seemed to be very well made. The insole was comfortable. These were just too small. I'll write a better review when I get the correct size. No problems returning them. It was very quick and easy. EDIT... I got the new boots today. I went from a size 10.5 regular to a size 11 wide and it's prefect now. I was even able to put a felt insert into the shoe for extra padding and warmth. Yes, please go a little bigger than you think you should. PS the return process was super easy and quick so don't worry about that when ordering.

A little tight so get a size bigger if you can. They are heavy which is expected for a boot really and they are thick and well insulated. Worth the price.

Warm, great traction

Just got these boots in the other day. I haven't had a chance to put them to the test yet, but so far the construction is actually kinda impressive. (I will certainly come back and edit this review if they fail quickly though.) [UPDATE 2022: Still going very strong after about 6 months of total daily use! Faux fur at the cuffs is starting to look a bit worn in (still looks presentable and good though), and the seams are tight and as waterproof as ever. Ok now back to the original review) The sole and uppers appear to be a single piece of rubber, so there's nothing to delaminate or offer a point of entry for water. Even that tan strip along the rim of the sole (on the brown models) is just a streak of color cast into the same body of rubber. The sole (heh) exception to that "single piece of rubber" bit mentioned above is a section of rubber stitched over the back of the heels, over the heel counter. I'll pool test that seam to check if they properly sealed the stitching on the inside, but so far it looks solid. The uppers are a combination of top-grain leather and a stiff and dense felt-like material. As for the inside liner: the top 3 inches of the shaft consists of an artificial shearling material, with the rest of the interior being a synthetic thermal fleece. I've actually been wearing them as slippers in a room that gets near freezing at night, and they're quite the toasty bois. The insoles are the usual cheap $0.50 things that practically all manufacturers insist on sticking into their shoes. Literally every brand from Nike to Airwalks are guilty of doing this, so no surprises there. That said, these cheap insoles are easily twice as thick as the usual stuff you end up with, so they're actually very cushy and comfortable in their own right. The default insoles offer no arch support, but if arch support is important to you, chances are you already got a pair of proper Powerstep or Superfeet insoles to swap out with these instead, so I consider that a non-issue. The boots are very stiff when you get them, (they also seem to have a proper shank, which is a plus) but they are so heavily padded on all sides that they feel extremely comfortable on your feet even on the first wear--that is, IF you get them in your proper/usual size. I originally heeded everyone's advice on winter boots and ordered these half a size larger than usual. But I ran into a problem: the boot's sizing already accounts for winter socks. :p So basically my heels did not seat into the boot properly, and there was quite a bit of play/room for wiggle in the heel/vamp region even when fully-laced. It was enough to be alright for short walks, but it was loose enough that it would've caused chafing issues with any walking activity longer than fetching the mail or putzing around the property. Not something you want in shoes meant for day-to-day use. I returned them and ordered another pair in my usual size (half a size below the first pair), and they fit perfectly with both normal cotton crew socks and my thick, wool snowboarding socks. My toes had a centimeter of wiggle room from the front of the toebox, and my heels seated securely enough that I could just use these as slip-ons without laces if I wanted, and not notice the difference. (Then again, I'm skinny so my feet are fairly normal. "Chunkier" feet/ankles may require that half a size jump up.)

My regular size is 10.5 W and ordered 11 W to accommodate the lining. I tried the boots on but I haven't worked in these boots yet. They seem well constructed. Wearing regular woolen socks, not extra heavy ones they go on tight at the neck requiring much loosening of the laces. This is not an issue. because this is how I will wear them outside. Once on they fit well and are comfortable standing and walking around the rooms. Removing them is a bit of a chore getting past that tight neck. Perhaps they'll loosen up in time. It might be a different result for someone wearing heavy duty socks. For me they are worth the money, I'll keep them and yes, I would order them again..

I was on the fence about these boots, but I am very glad I ended purchasing them. My feet get cold very easily, but these boots have kept my feet warm whether I am walking the dogs in the snow, clearing snow, or just casual every day cold weather wear. They effectively keep my feet dry, warm, and comfortable. I recommend them and would purchase them again. Oh, and fit was true to the shoe size I wear (Men’s USA 14).

Super confortable !

Fantastic weather and snow resistance, used these in Finland in December for 2 days no ingress of snow or water, comfortable to walk in, deep tread for good traction, warm and sized so a snug but good fit even with thick socks. I wear UK 9 1/2 trainers bought UK size10 snow boots. A good weight and great boot quality and looks. Noticed were the same style boot the Lapland tour operator provided to those who didn’t have their own!

Very happy with these for the size and comfort. Am using them primarily for long walks with my dog, in Alberta Winter conditions. Very Pleased

Excelentes

Nach den bisherigen Rezessionen 1/2 Nummer größer bestellt: passen einwandfrei und sind wirklich sehr bequem, geben guten Halt und sind bis ca. 5 cm wirklich wasserdicht - und nicht nur wasserabweisend. Für nasse und kalte Winter ideal, dabei noch relativ leicht. Bin mehr als zufrieden.
