There is still plenty of summer left, and if your favorite sneakers have already seen better days, now may be the perfect time for a footwear refresh. Whether the rest of the season has you traveling, hiking, exploring a new city or simply spending more time outdoors, the right shoes can make all the difference.
NORTIV 8 is having a major moment in footwear. The brand was recently featured by Footwear News after becoming the fastest growing footwear brand on the U.S. TikTok Shop, reaching $9.5 million in GMV with 1,200% year over year growth and surpassing QVC to take the No. 1 spot.
And with summer adventures still ahead, three NORTIV 8 styles stand out for their versatility, comfort and ability to keep up with everything from city streets to trails and water.
GLADIATOR Lightweight Hiking Sneakers for Women | $44.99
Not every adventure requires climbing a mountain. For those who spend more time walking through cities, exploring new destinations and discovering what is around the next corner, GLADIATOR may be the ideal choice.
At just 9.7 oz, the lightweight hiking sneaker is designed to be easy to wear for sightseeing while still offering the traction and protection needed for easy trails.
One traveler wore the shoes across Europe and said they handled everything from cobblestone streets to waterfalls with “no pain, no blisters.”
That makes GLADIATOR a particularly appealing choice for summer travel, when one pair of shoes needs to cover a lot of ground.
Armadillo FieldLite Hiking Sneakers for Men and Women | $62.99
Some shoes are made for one specific purpose. FieldLite is designed to do considerably more.
Waterproof and comfortable enough for everyday wear, the hiking sneaker is also capable of handling weekend hikes. It is the kind of versatile pair that can move from everyday errands to outdoor adventures without requiring a complete change of footwear.
One reviewer with Morton’s Neuroma called them “perfect for all day wearing,” while another said they became the pair they reached for everywhere, from parks to ranch trips.
For anyone looking to simplify their summer packing list, having one pair that can handle multiple settings can be a definite advantage.
StreamVent Sandals for Unisex | Strap and Mesh Versions | $33.99
Then there are those quintessential summer days when the temperature rises and your feet want a little more breathing room.
StreamVent offers the airflow of a sandal without exposing your toes. Available in both Strap and Mesh versions, the shoes are designed with quick draining capabilities, making them an easy option for beach vacations, campground weekends and hot weather hikes.
They are also suited for water crossings, lake trips and coastal travel, making them particularly useful for summer adventures where water is part of the itinerary.
Summer may be heading toward its final stretch, but there is no reason to put away the adventure gear just yet. There are still trips to take, trails to explore, cities to discover and weekends to spend outside.
And if your current shoes are worn down from everything you have already done this summer, or you are simply ready to try something new, NORTIV 8 has options that can take you into the rest of the season and beyond.
