It was by far the best boot I had ever worn! |

I have been in the Fire service for 17 years. The First 12 years I spent in department issued rubber boots. I made the decision and investment to purchase leather boots with my own money and thought I had done my homework on the best leather for my needs. Unfortunately, after a short time in the leather boots I purchased, I realized I had made a mistake. The boots had shrunk and the sole had already begun to separate from the upper. I then purchased the HAIX Fire Hunter.
It was by far the best boot I had ever worn. I work in a rather busy fire environment where my boots see quite a bit of action. I used to go through a pair of department issued rubber boots in about 8 to 10 months. I am presently in my original pair of HAIX Fire Hunters and am closing in on their three year anniversary. They fit and perform now just like the first day I put them in service. I can not see me ever wearing another fire boot other than a HAIX.
The fit and comfort of the HAIX boot makes the hazards of firefighting a little bit easier knowing you do not have to worry about how your boots are going to hold up, no matter what situation you might encounter. If you are asked to climb a ladder and chop a hole in the roof to ventilate, my footing on the roof is not a concern, just the task at hand.
If we are called to climb 28 floor due to power outages and free trapped people in elevators, I know my HAIX will get me there. If I am ordered to stretch a 1 1/2" hose line into a structure fire, I know my HAIX are the best protection I can have for the environment I am about to face. I am not big on a lot of talk and flashy gimmicks. If you want a Fire Boot that will do whatever you ask of it in any kind of conditions, try HAIX. I'm glad I did. Trust me, you'll be glad too.

I purchased HAIX Fire Hunters approximately 1.5 to 2 years ago to replace a pair of standard rubber FF boots. I purchased HAIX boots after an exhaustive internet search for advice. I was able to find 1 department that was unanimous in their decision on FF boots. I wear my boots every third day whether I'm on the Rescue, Truck or Engine. In 2 years, 0 blisters...This also includes several multi-alarm fires and some sizable grass fires (Lots of walking and even some running).
