There are many types of travel journalists out there. Some are drawn to adventure travel, scaling mountains, and hiking rugged terrain. Others focus on indulgent journeys, exploring fun restaurants in between shopping. Personally, I like to focus on culinary adventures with leisurely strolls through quiet vineyards and farms. Only I never wore the right footwear. I’d insist on packing impractical, trend-focused styles that looked cute in photos and were fine for a meal or quick walk, but always left me with swollen, sore feet and blistered ankles on long days of exploring.
I needed more supportive footwear, even for casual walks when I wasn’t traveling. That’s when I stumbled upon a Nortiv 8 shoe sale on Amazon, leading me to the brand’s Waterproof Hiking Boots. As a non-hiker (with no interest in becoming one), this might seem odd at first, but I was seeking shoes that would offer better ankle support, stability, and protection — not just for regular walks on city streets, but for navigating the rocky, uneven terrain I often encounter when visiting vineyards or foraging for ingredients.
Fortunately, many Nortiv 8 shoes are still on sale (including my new favorite travel shoes). Keep scrolling to explore the discounted styles and save up to 62 percent off.
