The HAIX® Black Eagle Safety Boots are designed to cushion and support your feet while providing you with a removable, and washable, antibacterial insole which is cushioned and moisture repellant. Special CROSSTECH® inner lining is blood borne pathogen and chemical resistant. CROSSTECH® has created an insulated liner which is also waterproof and breathable for maximum comfort. The material is moisture wicking to keep you dry under any conditions. The HAIX Secura Liner® is specially designed to never wrinkle up or pull out of the footwear, making wrinkles a memory rather than a problem.

Second pair
This is my second pair of these great boots. First pair after four years of twice daily horse feeding began to fail at sole/upper join. No leaks however! For my foot, the side zip is OK only with the use of elastic laces. With them, easy on/off and a snug fit. Composite toe good for horse missteps.
From:Andrew On:20 Aug 2021
Comfortable
This is my second pair of boot I have ordered from Haix. The first ones were the Airpower and they lasted me almost 5 years, the only reason I did not get thos again is because I did not care for the front zip. So far these boots have not disappointed me, they are light, waterproof and most of all comfortable. These are comfortable enough where I do not rush to get out of them as soon as I can and carry wear them for 18 hours during my shift and not hate them. I would recommend these to anyone.
From:JML21On:11 Jun 2021
Excellent Boot, Excellent Service
Like many, I have spent thousands on boots over the years and barely was able to get a single season out of them. The HAIX boot is in its own league. Great fit, and working with HAIX was simple and straightforward. They’ve already been put to the test and surpassed even my high expectations. They are pricey but they are incredibly well made and will outlast anything Ive tried before. My next pair will be a winter boot, and it’s coming from HAIX for sure.
From:JOSH On:14 May 2021
Excellent boot
Great boot for the money. Awesome quality and comfortable. Use daily for EMS and station wear. Solid boot great job HAIX!!!
From:ReniOn:8 Dec 2020
Beautifull & awesome boots
So these are very good looking boots. They are not the typical big bulky work boots. They are very sleek design you can wear them and not look like you just came off a construction site. Besides that they are extremely comfortable out of the box and the zipper part makes it easy to take them off or on. Very good protection all the way around but yet still looks like a designer footwear. The only issue is that they are narrow. I have wide feet and had to order the extra wide ones to fit perfect. Also like all HAIX boots they run large so order a half to one size smaller than usually. Highly recommended just get one size smaller and one size wider and you will love these boots. Extremely high quality inside and out. 6 stars out of 5 !!!

Really Good Boots and comfortable!
I only buy Haix boots, after wearing out a pair of the R series boots, decided to try a side zip to see if I liked them. All and all they are greatly comfortable! I have plantar fasciitis and these boots work great, but so did my R1s. Easy to get off but no so easy to get on. Don't have a problem kicking them off to get in turnout gear but putting them on I have to use both the straps to get them on. Fit is right and true to size. My opinion if you are a firefighter and have to keep getting in and out of your station boots, go with the R or XR front zip boots. If you are running a lot of EMS calls and don't come out of them a lot, these boots are a little better and easier to clean under the laces than the front zip boots.
From:ChrisOn:9 Jun 2020
Just great
I'm impressed with the quality of the boots. The height is shorter than I'm used to, but I am getting used to them. The size 16 fit me perfectly. Excellent communication, excellent options and lots of paperwork included that explains all the features. I won't look anywhere else for boots now.
From:JesseOn:27 Apr 2020
Too tight, never broken in
These boots look great, but I had to order one size smaller than my normal size. I wore them around the station for a couple of days to ensure they’d fit well, which I thought they would after breaking in. After two months they’re still to tight in the toe box (even with the extra side) and the soles get more uncomfortable each day. Wish I hadn’t gotten rid of the box! My feet have been hurting so badly after shift that I’ve literally stopped wearing them. Ended up being a waste of a lot of money and a hard learned lesson.

Hi Jesse,
Thank you for taking the time to review the Black Eagle Safety 55 Mid Side Zip. We are happy that you like the look of the boots but we apologize that you had issues with the fit and tightness in the toe box. Those boots can run narrow on some people. I do believe, however, that you were able to speak with our Customer Service Dept. and they were able to find a solution to the issue. We hope these boots will now serve you well and you will consider HAIX again in the future. Stay safe out there!
From:Chrystal O. On:11 Jan 2020
Amazing Boot
These are the boots provided to us at our EMS company. I love them. My only complaint is there is a slight squeak. They do run about half a size big.
From: Admin On: 16 Jan 2020
Hi Chrystal,
Thank you for providing feedback on the Black Eagle Safety 55 Mid Side Zip. I apologize that you had a slight squeaking issue with the boots, but after speaking with our Customer Service Dept., I believe they were able to find a solution to the problem to get your boots back out in the field. We hope they continue to serve you well. Stay safe out there!

Decent Boot
Have worn these boots for about a few weeks now. They are considerably lighter than other boots I’ve worn. They seem clunky though. They are a comfortable boot but they have a very bad squeak to them. Not sure if they aren’t broken in quite yet or if it’s the boot itself. I’ve had the AirPower R2s in the past and those squeaked pretty bad. They fit differently than other Haix boots. By that I mean these run a little bigger than say the R2s and R1s I’ve previously had. Got these in a 13 which is what I wore in other Haix boots but a 13 in these my foot slides around. Maybe I got the boot a half size smaller and the squeak wasn’t there it would go from a decent boot to a great boot.
From:Alex V COn:2 Sep 2019
Tough Enough
I have not broken in these boots hence my 8/10 rating. They feel a bit clunky but they have definitely done the job. Wearing these on an 8 or 10 hour shift I have not felt any discomfort and my feet do not feel sweaty. The upper part of the toe is very strong. A small oxygen tank was accidentally dropped on my foot but I never felt it.
I would recommend the purchase of this pair of boots as well as the brush kit and polish. These are an investment and should be taken care of. Once I break them in more I will edit my review but as of now I have no regrets with this purchase.
From:DavidOn:4 Oct 2018
Great boots
I've had them for almost 2 weeks and so far so good, the break in period was about 2 days and now they're awesome
From:Randolph W. AppleyOn:8 Aug 2018
GREAT BOOTS!!!!!!
Bought these to replace my worn out GSG-9 HAIXboots, got them, and, ended up wearing them 4 days in a row, 12 hours per day!!!!! No, problems, great fit, comfortable right out of the box!!!! Will buy more.......and recommend them highly to my friends and co-workers!!!!!!!!!
From:David KingOn:1 Jul 2018
Awesome
These boots are by the best that I have owned. They took about a week to break in and they feel amazing and I can wear them all day! I will definitely be doing future business with Haix!
From:GlennOn:10 Jun 2018
No break-in period needed. Impressive details.
I bought these as my first pair of Haix last week. I hesitated to order boots online without trying them on, but recommendations from friends got me over it. It turns out the sizing instructions were spot-on. I wore the boots 10 hours a day for four days straight, in the office and in the field with no discomfort. I put them on, adjusted them, then forgot about them. Until a fire extinguisher dropped on my toes and I felt nothing. :) They can be adjusted perfectly, and the zipper is extremely convenient. Consider me a satisfied customer.

Comfortable Lightweight Side Zip Station Boot
I really like Haix boots for station wear. As a primary purchaser for my department, I am always looking for something new and better that I can provide for my firefighters. I have been waiting for a side zip boot option from Haix to fit those people who can't seem to get the front zip boots tight enough. As for the boots themselves, I have purchased and worn them every day for about a week. The first thing that comes to mind when trying to describe these boots is the constant squeaking. Every time you walk, the leather on the front where the laces are rubs and squeaks annoyingly. Outside, probably not a big deal but I have been wearing them in an office and it has become a running joke for people to mention my squeak when I am walking around. Otherwise, the boot is comfortable, considerably lighter than the other front zip models and it has nice clean look to it. If I were to give recommendations for improvement, it would be to solve the squeak and provide just a bit more room to occasionally fan out my toes.
From: Admin On: 5 Dec 2017
Hi Mike,
We appreciate your review of the Black Eagle Safety 55 Side Zip. We are glad that the boots are comfortable and lightweight and that you like the look and feel of them. We apologize about the squeaking issue with the boots, but I have passed along your concerns to the sales manager in your area and he should be following up with you about a possible warranty claim. We hope this will not deter you from considering HAIX again in the future.

Durable boot
At first I was unsure about these boots. I had to order the extra wide boot because the cut around my big toe was tight and even with the extra wide it's still extremely close and after owning them for about six months the laces are starting to fray. The break in time wasn't long and there are times that I may wear these boots up to 16 hours a day. Now here is what impressed me. We spent three days executing a structural collapse exercise and these boots were put through everything. After three days plus the weeks prior associated with prep time the boots looks rough. I rinsed off the dust and dirt then added a coat of wax. There was no damage to the boots. The toe guard did its job where those who had other boots the toe of the boot had deep cuts. If they would widen out the toe area and have some better laces I would give them a 10.
From: Admin On: 8 Nov 2017
Hi Ryan,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Black Eagle Safety 55 Mid Side Zip. We are glad that you decided to give HAIX a try and that there was minimal break-in time on the boots. We are also happy to hear that these boots served you so well during your training exercise and they didn't suffer any damage. We apologize that the laces have frayed after only 6 months, but I am certain that we came to a reasonable solution. I will also pass your concerns about the width of the toe box to upper management for consideration. We hope this won't deter you from purchasing HAIX products again in the future. Stay safe out there!
From:JasenOn:9 Oct 2017
Awesome boot
Love these boots, well worth the price! Have had my boots for several months they are comfortable and durable! Ive read where people have issues with the zipper, the zipper works just fine. I uave a bad ankle and these boots make my feet hurt less. after a 24 hour shift i dont limp around as bad with boots as I have with others! If and when these wear out I will be purchasing another pair!!
From: Admin On: 9 Oct 2017

From:Steve FrechetteOn:23 Sep 2017
Not worth the price in my book
Very disappointed with my purchase the boots are OK but when I find out that I had to be for delivery on the $400 pair of boots I was a bit upset when you consider these these most companies ship for free over $25 purchase plus they tend to run bigger than the size, The right Toe cap seem a bit misplaced and it took long time for delivery from ups (the worst) so next time i will pass on haix!
From: Admin On: 2 Oct 2017
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your review of the Black Eagle Safety 55 Mid Side Zip. We are sorry that you were disappointed with your purchase. Many of our boots do run about a half size larger than a normal shoe. If you ever have any questions about sizing, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Service Dept. or via the Live Chat feature in our webshop and they would be happy to help. Unfortunately, we don't offer free shipping to Canada because of the high price of duties. Orders shipped to Canada can require additional delivery time because of increased security measures at the border. If you decide to give HAIX another try (which we certainly hope you will) you can always have your boots shipped to a friend in the U.S. so you can get free or discounted shipping when it is being offered. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience and hope you will consider HAIX again in the future.
From:DeeOn:1 Sep 2017
Not bad
Bought these about 6 weeks ago. I like how light and flexible they are. I also love the side zip and toe cap. Unfortunately I had to spend even more money to go back to the R8 because the way they are designed it is bruising my left heel badly.
