Review: New boot goofin' πŸ˜‰πŸ‘ - I'm big on this military style boot because I like the ankle support, and they're easy to get on and off with the addition of the zipper down the side. As such, I've bought a number of pairs of them over the years. To me its hard to find a better shoe to work in, especially when you're on your feet nearly 16 hours a day, 7 days a week like I am. Theres a reason we issue them to the boys out there fighting for our freedom I figure, right? If they're good enough for the Marines, gotta be good enough for me. And these boots are definitely good enough! I've had them nearly a month now I think, and I've been putting off writing a review to really test them out and see how well they hold up as advertised. And for a boot thats cheaper than most name brand tennis shoes, these things are absolutely awesome. My last pair were made by Reebok, cost about $100 dollars more, and lasted me the same as most boots have (roughly a year). The biggest difference between the Reebok boot and this boot, is that this boot is not steel toe. But the Reeboks weren't waterproof, and man am I impressed with the water proofing on this boot... Especially considering these are cheaper than a new pair of Nike tennis shoes. I specifically waited for a large rain storm to roll in before reviewing these so I could test the water proofing. I've added a picture above. Stood out in the rain in a substantial puddle for maybe two minutes to see if water was going to seep in just for this review! lol. My feet are still dry as a bone! So they definitely function as advertised! They look great, although I'm not huge on the faux leather deal at the top of the ankle. But beyond that they look almost identical to the reeboks, and the ankle portion is usually covered by my tactical pants anyway, so whatever. They also fit soooo much better than the Reeboks did when I bought them, and without added insoles at that! The Reebok insoles wore out on me in maybe 3 months, it was ridiculously quick. Like I said, I'm in them and working vastly more than I'm not, so buying insoles has become relatively common for me. Plus, I'm slightly flat footed, so they help keep my arches from constantly falling as well. But so far I've neither felt the need to buy insoles, nor had any adverse effects from using the included insole. My arches havent fallen, and my feet feel great. My foot is on the narrow side though, and it seems to me these boots are too. Which is good for me, they fit perfectly and that helps with comfort. But if you have a wide foot maybe consider going up half a size and see how that works for you. desertcart's return policy is good enough that if they don't fit, its no big deal. Drop them back off at a UPS store and order a new pair when you get refunded the next day, yah know? No harm no foul. To me, these things felt great from the moment I put them on though. There wasn't much need to break them in like other military boots I've bought. Usually you're in for a rough week the first week after you buy a pair. They never seem to have the "give" you need them to when you first buy them, but that wasn't a problem with these boots at all. I was pleasantly surprised to find them significantly more comfortable than my last couple pairs of boots from the jump. I was actually on desertcart about to purchase another pair of the Reeboks when I found these and man am I glad I saved the extra $100 bucks. You simply can not beat the value on these boots. They fit true to size, have great support, they're comfortable, and they have great water proofing capabilities. I'll definitely be back in another year or so to repurchase these bad boys.

Soft but so far sturdy I'm a handyman and time will tell if they hold up , so far I am very pleased with these boots. As I'm writing this review the boots feel like a soft sturdy supporting to both feet . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost Great! *by B***R on September 28, 2026* I had to return them because of the flap that makes the zipper area water resistant and I just could not get my foot in there comfortably. Other than that, they are very lightweight and comfortable. I also had a problem where the lace keeper on the tongue of one of the boots was ripped when it arrived. I am not taking a star off for that because things happen and I am sure I could have just received a replacement. I am taking one star off just because that flap makes it almost impossible to get your foot in and out and makes the zipper almost worthless as you pretty much need to untie the boots to get them on and off. But that may be just me as I have very unflexible ankles from an adulthood of military and law enforcement and I have degenerative arthritis in my feet/ankles so they don't bend that well. I saw one review where the person just cut that flap out and I thought of doing that too but since it was already damaged when I received it, I just did a return and got a pair of boots that don't have that flap. I may be sacrificing water resistance but I have never had the problem before and I have actual waterproof boots if I know I will be out in that much weather. I really did like them other than the flap and they fit true to size and had great traction on my floors. The rubber bottoms seemed great so I am sure they would have no problems on most surfaces. If you can get your foot in them with the flap limiting how much they open, they seem like really good boots for the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - NORTIV 8 Men's Military Tactical Work Boots Hiking Motorcycle Combat Boots - NORTIV 8 Men's Military Tactical Work Boots Side Zipper Leather Motorcycle Combat Boots (6-8 Inches) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/252375023-nortiv-8-mens-military-tactical-work-boots-hiking-side-zip](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/252375023-nortiv-8-mens-military-tactical-work-boots-hiking-side-zip) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-25*
