Meet the 9th Anniversary Headliners: New Styles, Greater Comfort

Armadillo 3 Hiking Boots

Front and center is the redesigned Armadillo 3, a modern evolution of NORTIV 8’s most iconic hiking boot. Armed with SGS-certified Waterproof-Pro construction, this boot aces more than 15,000 dynamic test cycles with no seepage. It boasts a new outsole with four traction zones for superior grip on mud, scree, and rock; a lighter, more responsive EVA midsole; a 30% stronger outsole for durability; and a TPU skeletal frame and armored toe for protection. The result: a trail conqueror trusted for everything from Appalachian summits to casual day hikes.
