Excerpt: When we first unboxed the NORTIV 8 ActiveFloat sneakers, we were intrigued by their promise of cushioning and grip. Slipping into the shoes, we noticed how the Non-Slip outsole immediately provided confidence on uneven surfaces, a welcome surprise since comfort alone wasn’t their only claim to fame. The ActiveFloat midsole felt like a gentle embrace, absorbing impact with each step without sacrificing agility. Our tests across the gym and during walks confirmed their versatility: well-suited for both quick jogs and longer durations. True to their name, they float you effortlessly over pavement, but they don’t float when it comes to securing your footing. We appreciate how the design blends functionality with stride-enhancing softness, though minor adjustments to the lacing system could elevate the fit. Overall, the NORTIV 8 delivers on its promises, blending hype with reliable performance.
