About Haix safety boots

Haix builds its reputation on footwear for the most demanding users, fire and rescue, forestry and the military, and that heritage shows in its safety boots. The Black Eagle Safety line uses an athletic, supportive last for all-day wear, the Airpower range focuses on climate management and waterproofing, and the Protector Forest boots are built for chainsaw and outdoor work with GORE-TEX membranes. Most styles are S3, which combines a 200 joule toecap, a penetration-resistant midsole, water-resistant uppers and heel energy absorption, with HRO heat-resistant outsoles on many models.

Haix boots run to a precise, supportive fit, so if you are between sizes our size and fit guide explains how to choose. These are premium boots built to be resoled and to give years of heavy daily wear. Each Haix style states its own rating on its page.
