Originally designed for paramedics, the Haix Airpower X1 is now being adopted in a huge variety of industries across the world.
Paramedics benefit from the leathers hydrophobic properties, meaning that blood born pathogens can't survive on the surface of the boot, helping to prevent cross contamination.
The true success of this boot though, is the unique lace and zip system which is helping it become the preferred choice on oil platforms across the world. When you first get your pair of X1's, tie the laces to get the boot to fit perfectly. From then on you'll be able to zip them on and off and always have a perfectly fitting, ankle protecting boot.
The benefits don't end there either: Haix's unique arch support system, which helps improve posture, reduce back injuries and prevent the onset of flat foot comes as standard with whole Airpower range. The X1 also benefits from having a climate control system regulated by full Gore Tex lining which moves moisture and heat away from the foot. This was tested to the full on a recent trial conducted of the coast of West Africa where the X1 passed with flying colours
All in all it's one hell of a boot, we'll get some more information on all the health benefits posted on the website ASAP but in the meantime, please feel free to contact us with any questions or, even better, try a pair for your self.
