Men's Breathable Tactical Military Work Boots Side Zipper Leather Lightweight Hiking Motorcycle Combat Boots 8 Inches Peakforce

Giving five stars due to the quality and feel. Lightweight, sturdy, comfortable. Have only worn for about a week though so can't speak to longevity of the shoe. Sizing: Not removing any stars for this, but the sizing seemed weird to me. I am a woman who normally wears women's size 8.5 or 9. I first ordered the men's size 7, (which normally corresponds to a women's 8.5) and they were HUGE. Like a women's size 10, way too big all around. I exchanged for a men's size 6.5 (which normally corresponds to a women's 8), but this time they were true to size! Unfortunately for me, that means they fit small on my foot as men's 6.5/women's 8 is not my usual size. I'm keeping them anyways as they are close enough, but I do feel it on my big toe nail the fact that I don't have much toe room in front like I would normally wear. Zipper + Laces: Also adding a photo of an alternate tying method that has been working for me. (Note that I am not military and just wear these casually, so not sure if military would allow tying laces like this or not.) Leave the top bow tied all the time, use the zipper to loosen shaft, then have a second tie across the ankle that you tie/untie every time. I do this as the zipper does not go far down enough to use the zipper alone unless your laces are super loose, but pulling the laces on this shoe never seemed to get it tight enough across my ankle until I added the second ankle bow.

I have really wide feet. These boots come and they’re already broken in. They are a little loose in the heel area, but I don’t find that to be a problem. They are breathable very comfortable and extremely light. This is the second pair of boots I’ve bought from this company. The first pair I bought was a pair of the hiking boots. Would definitely be buying from this company again.

Got these for my police officer husband for work and they have helped his feet so much! He would rather wear these over any other name brand boot he has. They are slip resistant and so durable which is needed for his job!

After 8 years of daily wearing a pair of 5.11, 6 inch boots I decided to semi retire them and, after reading many reviews, I decided to purchase the Nortive 8 inch boots, primarily because they were lightweight. After I received them, I finished lacing them up and wore them for a couple of inside my house. After two days, I contemplated returning them because they were much wider even though the size 12 I chose wasn’t described being wide. But, after using over the calf cotton boot socks I decided to keep them. Overall, the quality appears to be very good. The seams are tight with no dangling threads and the zippers operate fairly smoothly. They are almost as light as the 5.11, 6 inch boots in spite of being 2 inches taller. I’ve been wearing them for three days now and can confidently say that they’re very comfortable for all day wear. While they do fit my current needs, there’s a few things that I don’t like. I typically wear an 11.5 medium but, Nortive didn’t offer half sizes so the only option was to upsize to the 12. They do list a “Wide” option but no medium. The speed lacing eyes are too narrow to accommodate 550 paracord which is my choice for replacement laces. The eyes are also thin and are prone to falling. I’ve experienced this on a few pairs of boots while lacing them up. These boots also lack adequate ventilation and are hot to wear. I’m a retired paramedic and have been wearing duty boots for 30 years and never had a problem with sweaty feet until wearing these boots. The Nortiv’s have ventilation holes but offer no air exchange. I will try wool boot socks to see if they make a difference. My synopsis is they’re well made, comfortable for all day wear although they have poor ventilation, they’re easy to put on and remove using the zippers and, offer good ankle support. For the price, they’re a good value. Only time will tell if they’re durable.

I work as a Paramedic in Colorado. I have gone through a lot of boots. The company issues 511 and for three seasons they are fine, Some below 30 days you nee wool socks. But for summer, being at this altitude the sun is intense. I have used jungle boots, cool but hurt my feet after 12 hour shifts. These boots though, are very breathable. (surprisingly) I wasn't sold om them, being I have gone through so many (breathable) boots in the 35 years of service. These boots with cool Bamboo cushen socks are the ticket. 12W fits with good air circulation. Tie them tight the first day then back off to a looser fit for air movement. I was a Marine and found out early not to use the eyelets across the ankle. The tongue will eat you up. I did put an extra thin foot bed in dur to my arch. ABSOLUTLY OUTSTANDING!!!! after that. The normal shoe is very comfortable. I just fine tuned it. The socks help in the heat, Thicker ones when it is colder outside. Bipolar Colorado means you have to have options. I am very happy with this perches. My other recordation was from a soldier friend who said Oakley's were his go to in Afghanistan for rear time.

Exactly as described. Correct color for USAF OCP's, great fit and very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Easy to wear and very comfortable. I like it very much will buy other one later. Thanks

Very comfortable feels as if your walking on clouds. I'm not sure if anyone else has had discomfort around the heel/ankel area or if its more just me. Still testing these bad boys out so for now just a 3 stars will update if anything changes

Love these boots, wear these for up to 12 hour shifts at the airport, extremely light and comfortable, warm during the winter months and they breath good for a boot, my feet would be soaked with sweat in other boots. HIghly recommend them, best boot I have ever bought at a reasonable price.

Bonjour très satisfait recommande la qualité parfaite. A acheter sans hésitation.

J’ai du les retourner parce qu’ils m’ont chaque fois envoyé du 43 alors que je commandais du 41. Après 3 essais j’abandonne. Dommage je les voulais vraiment. Elles sont belles et avait l’air super confortables. Juste que le distributeur de la marque n’est pas professionnel.

Leicht,bequem,passen,gute Qualität
