Engineered for service

You keep our communities safe. Your Black Eagle is your trusted partner on every call.

Keep your footing with our anti-slip sole

In the Black Eagle Athletic 2.1 T Mid Side Zip, no matter the situation, you can rest assured you will stay on your feet. The distinctive tread design combined with the special rubber compound that goes into the Black Eagle® sole will maintain its traction on a wide variety of surfaces and in many types of weather, even when it's wet and cold. The high-density midsole won't have you feeling every rock and stone either.

Supportive cushioning with HAIX Absorption

The Black Eagle Athletic 2.1 T Mid Side Zip will keep your feet comfortable and supported when on the move all day. The built-in cushioning in the sole acts as shock absorption, effectively cushioning each step, while the energy return in the sole gives you extra spring in your step and helps reduce foot and leg fatigue.

Metal free with a durable combination of textile and leather

The Black Eagle Athletic 2.1 T Mid Side Zip combines abrasion-resistant textile and leather to offer a comfortable, breathable, and long-lasting option with a polishable toe for uniform wear. Additionally, they are metal-free and anti-static, making them ideal for individuals working near metal detectors or sensitive electronic equipment.

Comfort to endure the longest hours

You spend long hours on your feet. We make sure it doesn't feel like it.

So lightweight, you hardly feel it

Black Eagle Athletic 2.1 T Mid Side Zip could be the lightest 6" boot you will ever own. Their lighter weight may make you forget you are even wearing boots. It reduces foot and leg fatigue when you are on the move all day.

All day comfort and athletic feel

The running shoe technology built into the Black Eagle Athletic 2.1 T Mid Side Zip is lightweight and flexible. Cushioned insoles give you the extra comfort your feet crave. Enjoy an athletic shoe feel with the function of a duty boot.

Breathable comfort with our Climate System

The Black Eagle Athletic 2.1 T Mid Side Zip allows your feet to breathe by absorbing the moisture from your feet into specialized foams between the inner lining and the leather. With every step taken, moist air is released, and fresh air comes in through the mesh at the top of the boot. The Climate System essentially works like an air conditioning system in your boot.

Comfort fit with our cushioned insole

HAIX insoles keep your feet and your shoes 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 shoes 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 Athletic 2.1 T 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.

Yes you can buy replacement parts for the Black Eagle Athletic 2.1 T 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 Athletic 2.1 T Mid Side Zip boots, check out the HAIX Extended Wear program.

The Black Eagle Athletic 2.1 T 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.

Black Eagle Athletic 2.1 T Mid Side Zip 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.

Do yourself a favor....Order the wide, regardless. I have normal feet, but read the reviews and almost everyone said to order the wide, so I did. I'm so glad I listened. The break-in period was horrible (about 2 weeks). Now, they're great. Very lightweight. Great when on concrete most of the day. The only question is how the stand up over time. Highly recommend

Because of back and knees I have to have good boots. The last couple of years I have worn on clouds. Expensive boots. The Haix are better made and are more comfortable. The Leg and back pain have reduced immensely. I bought two pairs all leather and the ones with the mesh on sides. Super light also

I can't scream loud enough. If you normally wear a regular width then order WIDE. The boots are great but run very narrow. (I guess the Europeans have skinny feet). The break-in was a bit rough, however after about two weeks they are finally getting comfortable. The only factor to be seen is long-term wear and how they hold up to 10-12 miles a day.

After using these boots for almost a year, I can say these are well worth the money. Very comfortable to be, especially if you're having a busy shift.

Great Duty Boot

I bought these boots for duty with a southern sheriff office. They are very well made and handle the heat well. If I had to give one piece of advice if getting these. It would be to order whatever size you wear in a tennis shoe, but order in WIDE. The boots are narrow, and I didn't follow that advice from other reviews. So now I have a pair of once wore 11M sitting in my garage until I find someone to gift them too. LOL Seriously, if you order get your size in WIDE.

Great buy

I bought these because I needed new duty boots and the company sent me a 50% off deal. Glad I did. Way more comfortable than my usual Under Armour buy. The reason I rated 8/10 is because they run small. If you purchase, get 1/2 size larger, and wide. The break in period was a bit uncomfortable, but once the leather breaks in, they’re excellent. I walk 12 hour days, and no complaints! I’ve even recommended them to several other officers in my agency.

Excellent with a caveat.

These are typical excellent Haix quality, but my first pair really hurt my feet. I have other Haix boots in various styles but these seem to be slightly different in sizing and I needed a half size larger than normal. Otherwise they’re excellent.

Solid Boots

After about a month with the boots I can't really complain, the only noticeable knock on them is they run kind of slim but other than that great arch support, cushioning, the side zip is smooth and sturdy. This is my first pair of Haix and I would buy them again.

Black Eagle Athletic 2.1 T Mid Side Zip

I have had Haix boots in the past but never had side zip boots. Being wary after having a bad experience with another brand I took the leap and am glad I did. These are my go to station boots now.

Great but narrow

These are some of the finest boots I've ever owned. Quality construction all around. My only concern was with the width of the boot. Although I ordered the wide version, it was still very tight. My only hope is that they will soften and widen as I break them in.
