It's Getting Hot Out There

So, put on the right boots. We know work doesn't stop for a little (or a lot of) heat.

You probably recognize the name GORE-TEX® for its superior waterproofing technology. But did you know that the GORE-TEX® liner that keeps water out also breathes, allowing moist air to escape? This exceptional liner is found in most HAIX® boots, and when paired with our proprietary climate system for circulating cool air, you've got yourself a great combination for those warm summer months.

The Many Uses of GORE-TEX Boots

Test the water, get your feet wet: Taking it slow when trying new things is so common as to be cliche. Doing either, literally, in the wrong footwear, though, can really stink. Smelly feet—known medically as bromodosis—is caused by moisture interacting with bacteria and other microorganisms naturally found on our skin. Potential problems don’t end there. Wet feet can cause outbreaks of nail fungus, athlete’s foot and, in extreme cases, trench foot—a serious condition causing numbness, blisters, and painful cracks or ulcers to develop. Waterproof yet breathable boots are your answer.
