My new favorite shoe!

Great shoe and Solid quality. Used daily for running and small trails. It’s honestly my new favorite shoe. I wish they made them in more colors. I even purchased the all black for work as LEO and use them daily averaging 20-25k steps a day. As someone with a history of foot problems, I have not experienced anything from these shoes that made the problems worse.

Try something else

Not as expected, hurts my ankle when I use them. Wish I went another direction, as I no longer use them

Comfortable shoes and boots

Great fit doesn’t breath well. I have the non Gore Tex version in the low cut shoe and it breaths much better than this version.

Descent shoe

Comfortable, but not totaly water proof. Otherwise a descent shoe. Wore through winter in mild snow. Overall not bad for the price

Counting oil the Nova 3 Mid Waterproof

They're headed for Patagonia, and it's one piece of gear that I'm certain I can count on.

Leo’s the snow out

Spent 4 days in lots of snow in Yellowstone. One pair of wool socks and my feet were worm and dry.

top quality

Warm as soon as you step in, feels top quality in the build materials. I have only gone out in rather normal conditions but these are great hiking shoes

A for effort, that's about it

Bought the gtx version back in summer for my daily wear in town shoe. Like them at first but about three months in the sole started peeling and the and the laces failed. Compared to my very first pair of heavy duty boot that I put many peak summits away with(mid to late 90s). These novas were not that! I'll be using other means of footwear from this experience forward. Euro is gear is at the Pinnacle for a reason . Please find quality you had back in the day, again then maybe I'll be back. Thanks for listening 🤙

Not waterproof

I owned these for less than a month and had to return them because my feet got soaked. Not walking thru water, walking in wet grass.

Not satisfied with the shoes

Not as comfortable my last pair. I had the Nova 3 Mid Tactical Olive color. For less than 1year and the shoe sole came apart. It was a really comfy shoes. Compare to my new ones :(
