HAIX Promise of Quality
Always Exceptional Service

Engineered for service

You keep our communities safe. We designed a boot to give back. HAIX Black Eagle Tactical boots are specially designed to meet the needs and rigors of law enforcement today. We manufacture, lab test and field test every design to deliver the highest quality and most advanced footwear available. Our goal: provide law enforcement officers with the features and functions they need to get the job done. Our Black Eagle Tactical GTX 2.0 Side Zip boots combine the latest in features and function. These side zipper shoes are available in two heights: mid (above ankle) and high (mid-shin). Features of the Black Eagle Tactical GTX 2.0 Mid Side Zip boots:

SECURE FOOTING

Our propriety rubber sole and rugged tread keeps you on your toes in all types of weather and on every surface—reducing the potential for slips and falls in bad conditions and on difficult terrain.

SHOCK ABSORPTION

Extra cushioning in the sole reduces foot and leg fatigue while the energy return puts an additional spring in your step. Our high-density midsole won't have you feeling every rock and stone, either.

DRY COMFORT

A waterproof yet breathable GORE-TEX liner guarantees that your feet will stay dry and comfortable no matter how hot the day or how unfavorable the weather conditions.

AT THE READY

Enjoy the quick convenience of the side zipper on the Black Eagle Tactical 2.0 GTX Mid Side Zip. Get a more personalized fit by adjusting the lacing, fix it and then forget it. Enjoy that fit all day, every day. Slip on, zip up, and go.

Endless support and comfort to endure the longest shifts

You spend long hours on your feet. We make sure it doesn't feel like it. Additional features of our Black Eagle Tactical 2.0 GTX Mid Side Zip boots:

LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION

The lighter weight of our Black Eagle Tactical boots reduces foot and leg fatigue, even when on your feet all day.

ATHLETIC SHOE FEEL

Running shoe technology is built into the Black Eagle to create a duty boot that is lightweight and flexible.

CLIMATE SYSTEM

Special foam between the inner lining and leather outer absorb moisture. With every step moist air is released at the top of the boot and fresh air is taken in to keep your feet dry and comfortable.

REPLACEABLE INSOLES

The micro-fiber design of our insoles is lightweight, breathable and machine washable. Just replace once in a while to keep your boots fresh and comfortable.

Your questions, our honest answers

The Black Eagle® Tactical line of boots are either of all leather or mostly leather with some textile. All leather is sourced from Europe and is thicker and more durable than most leathers you see in boots today. The Tactical line also has a waterproof inner liner. Either GORETEX® or CROSSTECH®. The Black Eagle® Athletic line has uppers constructed entirely of microfiber textile and has no waterproof inner liner.

Yes the side zipper of the Black Eagle Tactical 2.0 GTX Mid Side Zip allows the individual user to adjust the fit to their own personal needs, offering more ankle support as needed, or possibly offering a looser fit across the forefoot for wider feet. Boots should be adjusted to your preference when they are received, then just zip in or out from then on. A second adjustment to the lacing may be needed after the boots have gone through their initial break in period.

The Black Eagle Tactical 2.0 GTX Mid Side Zip runs similar in size to your athletic shoe size, but because of it's streamlined design, they do run on the narrow side. Black Eagle Tactical 2.0 GTX Mid Side Zip comes in medium and wide.

Yes you can buy replacement parts for the Black Eagle Tactical 2.0 GTX Mid Side Zip such as insoles and laces. You can find these items on our website on the accessories page. If you are looking to retread or refurbish your Black Eagle Tactical 2.0 GTX Mid Side Zip boots, check out the HAIX Extended Wear program.

The Black Eagle Tactical 2.0 GTX Mid Side Zip is eligible for the Black Eagle® 2 year warranty for durability. Purchasers can opt to add on one additional year to the HAIX® 1 year warranty by signing up. Certain exclusions apply, see webpage for details.

The Black Eagle Tactical 2.0 GTX Side Zip has an amazing side benefit: In addition to functionality, durability, and comfort, these boots are the quietest boots I have ever owned. Regardless of the surface, the soles on these boots are crazy quiet.... creepy quiet. As a young patrolman, I would have loved to have had such a sneaky asset by which to perform my patrol duties. HAIX makes a great boot.

I got these boots after reaching out to officers in some LEO communities I'm a part of. Everyone talked about how light, comfortable, and durable these boots were. I've had my Black Eagle Tac. 2.0's for a little under a month now. I got the wrong size the first time, customer service was very helpful with this and I got the right size within a few days. First impressions when I first wore them for work was that they were extremely comfortable and light. I work in corrections for 12hr days and run to a lot of codes. When I first ran in these boots, I was shocked at how much they feel like tennis shoes. My mobility, agility, and speed were not inhibited in anyway unlike how most side zip boots have been in the past. There was really no break in period either. I also went through SWAT tryouts with these boots and never noticed them nor did I have any fatigue caused by boots nor foot pain due to discomfort or wrong sizing. The boots made it through a bunch of obstacles and rough terrain that day and only needed to be wiped down and polished to look brand new. So far, the durability is also on par for what I had heard. I can't wait to see how well they hold up long term. I will definitely buy this boot again, if I ever have to get a new pair. I rated them as a 9/10 only because my time with them has only been roughly a month. If I remember at the 1yr or 2yr mark, I'll add another review.

Don't be misled by my score of "8". These seem to be really good boots. I've only had them for 5 weeks. I'd prefer to do a review after at minimum 6 months. Having said all that, I really like these Black Eagle Tactical 2.0 GTX's. Right out of the box they are comfortable. They seem durable. I have a talent for being very hard on my footwear due to my job. With 20,000 to 25,000 steps a day at minimum not to mention the stress I put on them doing what I do. So far, they are holding up well and look great. If I had any complaint and I really don't, more of a preference, The inner sole could be a bit thicker. This is easily remedied by purchasing additional footbeds if need be. So far, I'm impressed. As are my coworkers.

The best pair of work boots

This is my 2nd pair of Haix boots I own and I must say they are best work boots I’ve ever owned. They are so well made , so comfortable that I actually ran a few miles wearing them in full gear at the recent Chicago Bank of America Marathon without any issues. I just love these boots!! Highly recommend them.

Excellent Duty Boots

This is my third pair of these same model of boots and I think they are excellent boots that hold up well and are very comfortable.I wore my first pair of boots every day I was in uniform. I will say that I had to buy a size larger and a size wider than I wore in these boots i purchased over 4 years ago. I bought a pair over two years ago, yet never wore them as my first pair were so good, that when I exchanged for my older boots. I found them to be too narrow.. Luckily they fit one of my officers. HAIX does explains the sizing issue when purchasing and makes them easy to return, and exchange. I highly recommend these boots.

Great boots

I have been wearing Hiax boots for years. I have always been satisfied with them. This is the first time I bought this particular boot and I think they are doing great so far. They are comfortable, and lightweight. I would recommend them.

Too nartow

Very narrow. Hurt my feet. I’m trying to wear them but finding it hard to ignore the pain by days end. I wish I would have gotten the wide. My feet are somewhat narrow. I’ve never had and issue with medium width.

Jus what I wanted

I already own the AirPower P7 high for extreme cold weather and the Black Eagle Athletic 2.1 T low for summer but wanted something for the rest of the year. The Black Eagle Tactical 2.0 GTX mid side zip are perfect. True to my other Haix sizes and comfortable right out of the box. The 6 inch mid height is great. One shift of waking 3-4 miles and they’re pretty much broken in. Super comfortable and Haix craftsmanship does not disappoint. Highly recommend.

Nice boot

Nice boot. Once you get passed the break in period, they are very comfortable for long hours. The width is nice & the heel cup is not overly tight. Definitely feel secure with no slippage. Laces could be a tad longer to help secure the boot correctly but overall, it's a nice boot.
