After 6 months of use, I have finally tested again my NORTIV 8 Ankle High Hiking Boots for waterproofness. To my surprise, they failed miserably. Pity, because they are really comfortable and warm, with a good ankle support, and incredibly affordable.
They come with water repellent materials on the surface and this is basically the only waterproofness they have. But this stuff washes out quickly, and after that boots will absorb water if exposed to it for several minutes or so. You will notice this only when it is too late. They are basically useless for hiking in the rain. #hiking #hikingboots #backpacking
