HAIX Technical Features

Lace Locks - Prevents laces from coming undone while under pressure. Easy to undo when the boots need to be taken off.

Padded Shaft Closure - Each boot is equipped with a padded shaft closure which reduces pressure points and increases wear comfort while allowing for a better fit.

Heel Bend - Improves flexibility and increases freedom of movement while retaining ankle stability. Reduces pressure on the Achilles tendon while kneeling and/or driving.

NTOA Member Tested and Recommended - NTOA is a police and special-forces association and is the acknowledged market leader for consulting and training services.

GORE-TEX Laminate with XCR - Product Technology - 3-layer GORE-TEX laminate, waterproof and highly breathable. Abrasion-resistant lining with optimized- climate comfort, especially for alternating inside and outside use.

HAIX Climate System - Each step produces a bellows effect which pushes moist air out of the boot and pulls fresh air in through openings in the upper shaft.

Lacing System with Reinforced Zipper - The HAIX Zipper Lacing System insures that the zipper is securely mounted in the boot to allow for very quick entry and exit with optimum comfort while limiting lace exposure to snags. Reinforcement at the top provides additional security.

Anatomically Formed Tongue - The anatomically formed, padded tongue enhances freedom of movement and its design ensures that it stays in place to reduce pressure points.

HAIX Arch Support System - The HAIX AS System provides excellent arch support which, when combined with the heel construction, holds and stabilizes your foot while allowing more freedom of movement in the forefoot area.
