HAIX Promise of Quality
Always Exceptional Service

Maximum safety for first responders

The first boots on the scene.

EMS-certified

HAIX’s Airpower XR2 is a certified EMS boot ready for service. It is waterproof and puncture-resistant—offering all-around protection on the job.

Lightweight construction

The Airpower XR2 is equipped with a lighter-weight composite toe cap—helping to reduce foot and leg fatigue while still meeting the highest level of safety requirements.

Waterproof technology

The Airpower XR2 lining features waterproof CROSSTECH® technology, offering protection against potentially hazardous chemicals, bodily fluids and bloodborne pathogens.

Safety sole

The Airpower XR2 integrated slip-resistant sole is EH-rated—and won't melt on hot pavement or degrade through contact with oils, fuels and chemicals.

In your comfort zone

Long hours, no sweat.

Absorbent insoles

Lightweight, breathable and cushioned microfiber insoles absorb perspiration to keep feet dry. Machine wash and occasionally replace to maintain comfort.

Secure fit

HAIX's unique lacing system provides a personalized, secure fit. The convenient front zipper allows wearers to adjust laces once to their preferred fit and feel, then slip on, zip up and go.

Arch support

Built-in arch support evenly distributes body weight—relieving leg and foot fatigue, stress and pain. Less leg stress means less stress on you.

Breathable comfort

HAIX Climate System utilizes special foams between lining and leather for moisture absorption. Vent holes at the top of the boot release moist air and circulate fresh air with every step.

Your questions, our honest answers

With the CROSSTECH inner liner, the Airpower XR2 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 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 boots, check out the HAIX Extended Wear program page.

Yes, your boot fit can be adjusted on the Airpower XR2 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 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 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 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.

Best Investment I’ve Made In EMS
I bought a $60 pair of boots for EMT school and then another $60 pair about a year and a half later. They were nice and comfortable all that and I just couldn’t see the logic in spending any more than that for something that’s gonna get beat up anyway. But these a worth every penny! My favorite is the convenience. You can’t literally jump into any other pair of boots like you can these. Then of course the comfort is second to none. I’m beyond happy with my purchase. Haix has definitely gained a lifelong customer and I’ve been vouching for these boots to all the crews at my station.

This is my second pair of Haix! My first pair lasted nearly 6 years and it was time to retire them. I love these with the toe cap so much more than my previous that didn’t have it!

Mine were true to size. I am a 7 and got a 7 wide and have no issues with sizing. They are not as heavy as I thought they would be either. They are very comfortable.

Everything is PERFECT!!! This is my 2nd purchase of Haix boots, my first one lasting over 5 years and still lots of life left in them. I start a new job on Monday and of course had to have a new pair of boots. I absolutely love this brand. The quality is outstanding and I will never buy any other brand. When I first looked into purchasing a Haix style of boot I was nervous paying the price for them, but they are absolutely worth every penny. Thank you very much for the fantastic and caring customer service. You guys are the BEST!

They are very good quality. The only thing is the tounge of the boot feels like it’s compreesing the top of my foot which make it unbearable sometimes

I normally wear an 8.5, but ordered an 8 because I knew they fit big. I got them and they are way huge. Like I need a 7.5, could possibly even wear a 7. Very comfortable boot though and fit is nice other than sizing. I really wish they would’ve fit. I couldn’t even double up socks and make them work.

Love them

I was a little unsure on sizing as the meauring tool said to order a 5.5 - 6 and I decided to go with what I had worn with other boots (6.5). Boots arrived on time and tried them on. With a thcik pair of work socks they were totally fine! Phew. Toes are slightly off the end which is good. Could have gone to a 6 but winters in Canada, I need the tick socks. I usually wear a size 7 - 7.5 in regular shoes so definitely go down a size when ordering them. They are fantastic boots, a little stiff and i find they rub on my calfs when walking. I will gove the, somore time to wear in a bit, but so far so good!

Love these boots, but lace has broken

I absolutely love these boots, but the lace broke in the one boot. I found a metal spur on the inside of the eyelets, so I am assuming that this has been the cause. The metal spur has started to rub into the leather, as well. I highly recommend these boots! I actually bought these boots as my winter boots for EMS, as they are much easier to clean when it comes to the winter salt in Pennsylvania, and my feet stay warm and dry despite the winter elements!
