The Nortiv 8 Armadillo Men's Waterproof Hiking Boots are now on sale for as low as $43, which is up to 52% off the original price of $90. This boot is Amazon's #1 best-selling hiking boot for men with over 11,000 five-star ratings, which is truly impressive for a lesser-known brand in such a competitive market. Two versions of the popular Nortiv 8 men's hiking boots are on sale: the classic Armadillo and Armadillo II. To easily distinguish styles, note that the updated Armadillo II is the suede one. Each style is offered in medium and large widths ranging from 6.5 to 15.

The classic Armadillo boot features a water-resistant fabric upper, lightweight EVA outsole, protective toe bumper and removable supportive insoles. There's also an insulated version of the classic Armadillo that adds a waterproof membrane and faux fur lining for warmth.
The updated Armadillo II hiking boots are offered in black, olive and tan suede options. The key updates here are a more durable upper, a more padded tongue that better seals the openings against dirt and water, and an upgraded removable insole that provides more arch support over the previous model. As with the previous model, the material is water-resistant and perfect for crossing streams, splashing in puddles and tackling mud, but we don't recommend swimming in them.
Shoppers found a lot to love about Nortiv 8's men's hiking boots, including great traction, long-lasting comfort, and overall value for the price.

Customers have found a lot to love about Nortiv 8's men's hiking boots, including great traction, long-lasting comfort, and overall value for money.
A customer who frequents the trails in Northern Utah received in-depth knowledge of every aspect of the boots, which performed better than initially expected. “I must say, they exceeded all my expectations! “These boots have become my go-to outdoor companion while hiking in Northern Utah and exploring the wonders of nature… A must-have for any outdoor enthusiast looking for comfort, durability, and water resistance in their footwear,” they said.
Some customers had different intentions regarding Armadillo hiking boots; like this customer who initially used the shoe as work boots and then decided to put it to the real test. “I bought these for general use, such as property/shop boots. They were pretty comfortable, so I wore them while elk hunting for six days in the mountains of Montana. The only one of the group that didn't have blisters! These are a great product,” they said.
Most hiking boots will cost between $100 and $200, but Nortiv 8's Armadillo hiking boots for men offer the opportunity to get great value on a good pair of boots (even at full price). Grab a pair on sale for as little as $43 and discover exactly what makes them Amazon's #1 bestseller, but don't wait; this price may increase again after the October Prime Day sale ends.
