Your first line of defense against workplace hazards

With an endless list of injuries that can happen at work, Airpower XR23 ensures that list gets just a little bit smaller.

Protect your toes with our Composite toe cap

The integrity of your feet, and especially your toes, is important. Equipped with composite toe caps, the Airpower XR23 are lighter weight yet still protect your toes to the highest safety requirements. It helps reduce foot and leg fatigue from long hours on the job.

Keep yourself safe from electrical hazards

Airpower XR23 is independently UL-certified to provide electrical hazard protection to 18kv to give you that extra layer of hazard protection no matter the job. Airpower XR23 is your extra line of defense when working around live wires.
Airpower XR26

Keep yourself dry and comfortable thanks to GORE-TEX

No matter the weather, or what kind of wet conditions you endure on the job, you still need to do your job. The GORE-TEX inner lining on our Airpower XR23 guarantees your feet will stay dry and comfortable no matter how long you are exposed to the elements. Dry feet keep you warmer in winter and cooler in summer and your focus on the job.

Keep your footing with our protective sole

The Airpower XR23 features an extremely slip-resistant sole, providing you with the confidence to work safely by reducing your chances of slips, trips, and falls. HAIX soles offer exceptional durability, preventing needless wear and tear. There is also built-in puncture resistance to shield your foot from potential stepping hazards.

Extended comfort to endure the longest hours no matter what your job requires

After a long day of work on your feet, we make sure you can still enjoy the rest of your day.

Comfort fit with our cushioned insole

HAIX insoles keep your feet and your boots fresher and more comfortable on the job. Our insoles absorb perspiration to keep your feet dry even under the most rigorous conditions. Added cushioning provides extra comfort. The microfiber design is lightweight, breathable and machine washable. Replace occasionally to keep your boots fresh and comfortable.

Extra support for your feet with the HAIX Arch Support System

Built-in arch support relieves stress on your feet by distributing weight more evenly. Walk without pain, improve your general well-being, and increase your ability to perform without the distraction of foot and leg pain.

Split bull hide leather that offers long wearing durability

The Airpower XR23 features soft and supple hydrophobic and breathable split leather. The extra padding in the tongue and ankle area provides a layer of cushy comfort to alleviate pressure at the top of your foot and the delicate ankle area.

Breathable comfort with our Climate System

Airpower XR23 allows your feet to breathe by absorbing the moisture from your feet into special foams between the inner lining and the leather. With every step, moist air releases, and fresh air enters through the vent holes at the top of the boot. The Climate System essentially works like an air conditioning system in your boot.

Your questions, our honest answers

Airpower XR23 runs pretty true to size in length, but a little narrow in width because of the built in arch support. We recommend going to a wider width. The boots come in either a medium or wide width.

The Airpower XR23 features hydrophobic split leather which allows the boots to breathe while keeping the leather water resistant, and a waterproof inner liner of GORE-TEX which will keep your feet dry and comfortable

The Airpower XR23 has a carbon composite toe cap which exceeds ASTM testing requirements. It also has a rubber edge that enhances the comfort of the transition zone between the toe cap and the boot.

While the 2 boots have a similar fit and many features in common, the Airpower XR23 has split leather which is a little more robust that the Airpower XR26's sueded Nubuck leather. Airpower XR23 is slightly taller than Airpower XR26, measuring in at 7 inches, while the Airpower XR26 is 6 inches in height.

Your Airpower XR23 boots can be retreaded and refurbished with original manufacturer soles, parts and materials through our Extended Wear program. To freshen your boots, replacement insoles can be purchased online at haixusa.com.

Yes you can buy replacement parts for the Airpower XR23 such as insoles and laces. You can find these items on our website on the accessories page. If you are looking to refurbish your Airpower XR23, check out the HAIX Extended Wear program.

Boot is perfect
Boot is perfect for farming 14 hours a day. XR23 is really comfortable. Really comfortable after a short break in. Love them. Keep that good quality for the next 20 years.

Great fit right out of the box. Was asked how long the break-in was. Best part, there was no break-in. With the comp toe it feels like wearing a hiking boot instead of a clunky old work boot. The Redwings have been retired. Highly recommend these boots for those looking for a great fitting work boot. I did size up in the width as recommended and they fit great.

Hands down the best boot I have ever wore. From the moment I put them on I said " I am not taking them off". They wore in verry fast, I wear them 16 hours a day. When I have to switch to a different shoe, I can't wait to put them back on, I used to walk as little as possible because of the pain in my hips and back. Now I will walk where I need to when I need to. Thanks for a Life changing experience HAIX.

Amazing boots. In 2016 tried my first pair of boots made by hiax. Now no where in Canada sells so I order online haven't tried on my last two pairs before buying and never second guessed myself. Amazing boots, extremely comfortable.

I am really enjoying these safety shoes I wear them every day of the week around my farm. The most comfortable safety shoe I have worn in my life. Unfortunately they are expensive , but if they stand up to the use, which time will determine, then the cost won’t be that bad. Most safety shoes last me between 6 and 8 months . One month in these shoes are still holding up for me

I never write reviews but felt compelled to do so for these boots. The Airpower XR23 boots clicked all the boxes I was looking for in work boot as a forester who does not need chainsaw protection: certified safety toe, comfortable, lightweight, waterproof, supportive, and breathable. No problems spending long days in these. Clear example of you get what you pay for. Cannot comment on their durability yet though.

Best Boots I've Owned

I do tree work. When I'm not in the tree climbing, these are my go to boots and I love them. Comfortable, not claustrophobic for my feet. I work on varied terrain, up and downhill, sidehills, creeks and water and I've never had a problem. I especially like the lacing system. It's fast and secure and doesn't cause me grief first thing in the morning. I've been buying boots at Bare Bones Workwear but haven't found anything this good. I wasn't stoked about buying something site unseen online but trusted the brand because it came through my online tree equipment supply site and they don't promote anything but the best. I'm a Haix guy now, and am buying another pair for my top groundie to wear. Thanks.

Best Out-Of-Box boot

This is easily the most comfortable boot I’ve ever worn. First couple days were a little rough on the toes because they are a really stiff boot before breaking them in. But after a few days they loosen right up and man are they amazing. Blow all the top brand boots I’ve had out of the water. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Great job Haix!

Awesome boots

Right out the box the shoes was very comfortable, been wearing to work to break in but of course I got a blister on my left heel but I was wearing polyester socks and should of known better. boots are very durable. I enjoy wearing hiax boots. I have a pair of mossouls that I have had over 7 years ,(need to be resoled). would purchase again.

XR23

I ordered size 9 wide instead of 9.5 wide that I usually wear because my XR26 9.5 are a bit too large. 9.5 is 42 usually and 42 is my size. Haix has 9 as 42. The 9 wide are perfect fit for me. Boot is perfect for farming 14 hours a day. The xr26 was too low, grain, stubbles and woodchips entered the boot. XR23 is really confortable. Can't vouch for watertighness as it is only 3 weeks. The XR26 were not topnotch in that respect, but drying fast as the goretex pumps the humidity out. Really comfortable after a short break in. Love them. Keep that good quality for the next 20 years.
