EMS Safety Certified

Maximum safety for first responders.

Certified safety

Independently certified for EMS, the Airpower XR2 Winter is puncture- and fluid-resistant—providing all-around protection.

Composite toe cap

The Airpower XR2 Winter features lightweight composite toe caps to reduce foot and leg fatigue yet still meet the highest safety standards for toe protection.

Stay-dry technology

CROSSTECH® technology in the Airpower XR2 Winter's inner lining is waterproof and protects against contact with potentially hazardous body fluids, blood and chemicals.

Slip-resistant sole

The Airpower XR2 Winter EH-rated slip-resistant sole is specially engineered for cold climates. The rubber doesn’t harden in freezing temperatures—minimizing slips and falls.

Long hours, no sweat

Built-in features keep you comfortable all day.

Cushioned insole

HAIX microfiber insoles cushion every step and absorb perspiration to keep feet comfortable and dry. Our insoles are lightweight, machine washable and replaceable.

Extra support

The built-in arch support of the Airpower XR2 Winter more evenly distributes body weight—relieving pain, stress and foot fatigue, allowing you to concentrate on the job.

Zipper-lacing system

HAIX integrated zipper-lacing system provides a set-once personalized fit for ease of comfort. Adjust laces once, then slip on, zip up and go.

Climate control

Special foam between the inner lining and the leather absorbs perspiration. Each step releases moist air and draws in fresh air through vent holes at the top of the boot.

Your questions, our honest answers

With the CROSSTECH inner liner, the Airpower XR2 Winter does offer protection from liquids, chemicals, and bloodborne pathogens. The boots are tested and certified according to NFPA 1999 standards for biopenetration.

Yes, you can buy replacement parts for the Airpower XR2 Winter such as insoles, laces, and zippers. You can find these items on our website on the accessories page. If you are looking to retread or refurbish your Airpower XR2 Winter boots, check out the HAIX Extended Wear program page.

Yes, your boot fit can be adjusted on the Airpower XR2 Winter by tightening or loosening the laces on either side of the zipper mechanisim. For a slightly more individualized fit, boots can be adjusted with an alternate insole. A blue insole for a narrower fit (thickest), a yellow insole for a wider fit (thinnest). Extra insoles can be purchased on the accessories page.

Yes, the front lacing zipper system of the Airpower XR2 Winter 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 in the lower leg for larger calves. 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 Airpower® XR2 and Airpower® R2 are certified to NFPA 1999 for emergency medical operations while the Airpower® XR1 is certified to both NFPA 1999 and NFPA 1977 for Wildland Firefighting.The Airpower® XR2 and Airpower R2 are both 8" in height while the Airpower® XR1 is 9" in height. Both the Airpower® XR1 and XR2 are composite toe with non-metallic puncture plates while the Airpower® R2 has a steel toe and steel puncture plate. The Airpower® R2 differs from the other 2 models in that it has a leather toe that is polishable. Since the Airpower® XR2 and XR1 are so similar, the Airpower® XR1 has a red NFPA 1977 label on the left boot.

The Airpower XR2 Winter runs similar in size to your athletic shoe size, but because of the built in arch support, they do run on the narrow side. The Airpower XR2 Winter comes in medium, wide, and extra wide widths. It is recommended that you order one width larger than your usual width. For example, most people who normally wear a medium, would wear a wide in this boot.

Still functions like day one
I’ve been wearing the HAIX XR2 boot just about every day since I got them over a year ago. The boot still functions like day one, and looks like it has many years left to go.

I have been wearing Haix boots for over 20 years. The first 18 while I was a firefighter and now retired, I still enjoy the comfort and durability of these boots.

I have over 30 years of operational medicine as a paramedic in various roles. These boots are by far the best I have ever owned. Currently at a remote location in Northern British Columbia with extreme temperatures and they have never failed me once. Thank you David

Hands down the best station boots. You can easily step out of them to jump into your turnout gear. Comfortable to work with all around the station. Much more comfortable than side zip models. No time to brake in. Only thing is that it takes a little time to get the right adjustment with the laces. Otherwise nothing but positive to say about these!

I have had Haix station boots for the last few years. I was hoping that they would fix the slipping issue for the lovely winters we have. Quite regularly I would have to catch myself from slipping when on med calls. Well you have fixed the problem regarding winter time walking with the new Airforce X2 Winter. Love them, always comfortable thank you for getting up to me so quick.

Very comfortable boots. I have owned several pair of Haix over the years. But the leather that attached to sole has came apart and the boots are just over a year old.

Yes buy it

I have been trying to find a composite/steel toe boot that feels great for about 10 years, this is the boot. After trying several composite type boots I gave up and bought boots without the toe protective toe, despite my companies demand. All of the boots I tried would hurt my toes beyond my ability to wear them beyond a couple of days. This boot is the best feeling boot or shoe I have worn. I am unaware that I am wearing a composite toe boot. I would also like to add that my entire foot including my heel feels like this boot was tailored made for my foot. I will not buy a different brand of boot for work. Thanks

Favorite pair of boots!

I have had a couple other pairs of boots that either turned out to be uncomfortable, or didn’t last. These boots have delivered as promised. Top quality boots, totally worth the money!

TOP QUALITY BOOT

I work for an environmental company we do emergency response and industrial maintenance in grit, grime and hydrocarbons (oil's, gasolines, and diesel fuel) almost on a daily basis. I seen a pair of the Black Eagle 2.0 that a friend was wearing discussed them with him, ordered a pair and received them the first day i wore them i was like WOW why have I not tried these boots before, so winter time is approaching and i ordered a pair of the Air-power XR 2 wore them one time and ordered a second power so i could rotate daily use in the winter to allow drying in between wearing, SO YES HAIX IS MY GO TO BOOT I AM SIMPLY BLOWN AWAY!

Excellent

I purchased these boots about 2.5 yrs ago and these are by far the best boots I’ve ever had. Super durable super comfy. Ive put some miles on them and will be purchasing them again soon. I had no problems with them. The break in phase can be tough just because of it being a heavier boot but otherwise worth every penny.

Boots feel amazing but the zipper got stuck and I had to pull and rip the boots off my feet taking about 5 min to accomplish

So far so good,

Very sturdy well made boots , it would be a 10/10 but I’m having the issue of the zipper getting stuck halfway down which kinda knocks the whole speed aspect. Being a career firefighter time is critical and you look dumb trying to force boots off. If they hold up And perform as advertised I’ll be a happy customer.
