NORTIV 8 Men's Insulated Waterproof Work Winter Snow Boots

My snow boots were delivered yesterday on a sunny, warm day. However, today we have blizzard-like conditions and very cold weather. As such, I put these boots to work right away. My rating is based upon five elements that I consider as critical for snow boots: Price, Fit, Warmth, Traction and Durability.-Price: The price was excellent for these NORTIV boots. A few years ago, I paid $100 for a pair of Sorel snow boots which started falling apart two years later. This pair of NORTIV boots cost a little more than half of what I paid for the Sorel's. In short, the Price of these NORTIV's is a definite plus.-Fit: Buying snow boots is always a challenge for me due to my size 12 extra-wide feet. There are not many snow boots available in extra-wide sizes. Consequently, there is some guess work and luck involved when I shop for new snow boots. Especially when there are conflicting reviews where buyers claim the same snow boots' fit is either too big or too small. In this case, I went a size higher to 13. It was the right choice for me. These snow boots fit me just right. The D Rings (vice eyelets) permits me to get a wider opening when loosening the laces, which makes it much easier to get my feet inside and out of the boots. In short, the Fit of these NORTIV's is a definite plus.-Warmth: Obviously this includes Dryness because your feet can't be warm if they aren't dry. I'm breaking in these boots on a very stormy day. So far we've had heavy rain and sleet changing over to blizzard-like snow conditions along with temperatures crashing from the upper 40s to the low 20s. Sustained winds are at 25 mph with gusts to 50 mph. My feet are warm and dry in these extreme conditions. In short, Warmth of these NORTIV's is a definite plus.-Traction: Being able to navigate on foot through snowy conditions is very important to me. I have a 1/4 acre property in a suburban area that needs to be cleared of snow and ice after each winter storm. To do this, I must have good traction on my snow boots so that I can operate a snow thrower, use a snow shovel, and when necessary, utilize a roof rake to prevent ice dams. I was able to get around my property in these extreme winter storm conditions without slipping or falling with these NORTIV boots on. In short, Traction is a definite plus for these NORTIV's.-Durability: I will have to update my review at a later date to address Durability. [I'm aware of all the reviews citing the rear of these boots coming apart at ankle height.] For now, I will reserve my judgement on the Durability of these NORTIV's until a later date. [UPDATE as of 1/22/2024: The recent cold snap and severe Winter weather have allowed me to wear these NORTIV's on a daily basis. I'm pleased to say that they have held up extremely well in all kinds of adverse Winter weather conditions. They are well made snow boots based on my usage of them. In short, the Durability of these NORTIV's is a definite plus.]I've rated these NORTIV snow boots at 5 Stars. I hope other shoppers find my observations useful in their purchasing decisions.

I live in Texas where we maybe get snow once a year, so spending a lot of money on good winter boots didn’t make a lot of sense. Ended up buying these for a trip to snow and they’ve been amazing. Rest of the family said their feet were getting wet and cold playing in the snow and I was warm and dry.We did have snow this week and had to do some work outside and thy were great in the snow and mud as well.I can’t compare against more expensive boots, but for winter boots I’ll only use a few times a year, these are great! Can’t say how durable they are, but I’ve used them for about a month and they are still holding up just fine.

Good snow boot

Overall these boots are well made, even though there is a slight issue on the inside of one of the boots where the rubber meets the leather. Some liner material is exposed, but the stitching seems fine.Walking my dog in deep snow at -10F over the last few days has shown the boots offer good traction on snow, but feel a bit cold on the bottom. The lining is definitely not at the arctic level I would need right now. The good news is that the sizing is very generous, so double wool socks work for me. I usually wear size 11 or 45 Euro, and these feel more like a 11.5 or 45.5 Euro to me. Great in winter for extra socks, which you will need to stay warm. Once it warms up above double sock temps, though, I won't have much use of these boots. I mostly wanted them for the slush snow season and they should do well with the rubber material up to the ankles.The insoles are a bit flat, and you feel air moving around inside the soles as you compress the heel and then roll off the front of your foot. This may change after a few more miles. Overall, I would rate the insoldes at best mediocre. I plan to put an extra set of insoles in there once it gets too warm for the double sock setup, which should fix that feel.The lack of insulation from below is something I'd point out as the biggest issue for winter use. Adding a second insole could fix that, but then I lose the second sock layer and the toes will definitely get cold in that rubber toe box. At the price point these boots are sold at, I am not too concerned. They will do OK in most situations other than the extreme temperatures we are experiencing usually for only a week or two each winter.The leather looks really nice, the laces are good and hold without double tying them. These boots will see a lot of miles with my dog this winter.

Perfect fit. Very comfortable. Waterproof.

These boots are incredible, they are super warm and totally waterproof. Not to mention they are extremely comfortable to wear, totally worth the price and money . I highly recommend

After looking for a Men’s size 15 and becoming a bit shocked by the price, I decided to give these a try as we have encountered our first snow storm in years. My son went outside in a foot of snow and returned with dry feet. Also they have great traction so he did not slide in the layer of ice imbedded under the snow. I am impressed with the quality, delivery and durability. Highly recommend!

I deliver for Fedex and needed a good pair of boots for the slush, these never let my feet get wet once.however, if i had an opportunity to try them on first, i would not have bought them, they are very uncomfortable at the top of your foot, Also the D rings that are there for the laces, will CHEW thru them, i went thru 3 extra sets of laces during 2 months of winter.now that they are broken in, theyre a little more comfortable.
