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

Just got them, and I'm really happy with these boots. I was shoveling snow in them within an hour and they're very comfortable, warm, and dry. Not stiff at all out of the box. They feel lightweight but durable. Time will tell how they hold up. First impressions: 1. They are much more comfortable than three other similar pairs I tried from other sites/big box stores. 2. I wear a nine. These fit like a glove. Perfect. 3. The laces run down onto the toe box a bit, so you can tighten them as you wish. 4. The toe box is large enough to use inserts for plantar fasciitis, etc... This is a big plus for me. The inserts actually improved the fit a bit. 5. The leather parts look shineable. They'll look great with a decent polish. 6. The zipper on the side is nice but unnecessary: I find it easier just use the laces when putting them on. The zippers on both boots were a little sticky from a drop of glue that had oozed onto them. No big deal, I just scraped the glue and dangling threads off and they worked fine. Not worth returning them over it. Overall, I really like these boots. The price is terrific too.

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.

Arrived quick, fit good, comfortable . Will see how they hold up.

These boots are priced cheap, but actually pretty sturdy considering they aren't exactly red wing boots. They kinda hurt my feet as they were a little too narrow so I had to start leaving my shoe trees in them and they are now VERY comfortable. I have to point out that no amount of wearing could stretch them out, but a simple day or two with the shoe trees and they fit perfect. The with was really the only issue I had so far with them. I have had these boots for about 10 months now and they are holding up pretty well considering the amount of walking I do and the different terrain I have to deal with on a regular basis. I cannot stress enough though you need to make sure they are comfortable to walk in to buy some "shoe trees" and make sure you have time to take them on a "test walk"(bring your old pair if you have to; so you can swap out if the test flops and send them back to the "shoe trees" when you can.

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.

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.

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.
