HAIX unveil new safety footwear range
Reimagined Black Eagle and Airpower XR ranges brings new innovation to safety footwear
HAIX, the global functional shoe and clothing specialist, have redesigned their entire workwear safety portfolio, engineered to provide the right footwear for every professional need. The revamped footwear line-up introduces a streamlined range built around XLR8, a suite of technologies that enhance comfort, control, and energy efficiency throughout the working day.
The refreshed Black Eagle and Airpower XR models will be organized into three application-led categories – Safety, Heavy Duty, and Heavy Duty Extreme – based on the level of protection required and demands of the job at hand. These three lines have one goal: to offer maximum control, stability, and performance for workers. With these clearly defined categories, selection is made easier for both end-users and procurement teams.
All three lines of the new workwear footwear portfolio come equipped with the innovative XLR8 technology. The system promotes foot health, enhances performance, and reduces fatigue. It includes HAIX’s proprietary ‘Reforce’ technology, which actively supports the natural arch of the foot, an ergonomic last for optimal fit, an adaptive heel cap for balance and stability, and optimized sole cushioning for a secure, energized stance. The result, say HAIX, is noticeably greater control with every step.
Key benefits for customers include:
Reforce technology supports healthier posture and efficient movement for greater endurance
Ergonomic fit, balanced cushioning, and secure heel hold alongside certified protection
Three easy-to-navigate product categories aligned to use case and stress level.
Simon Ash, UK and Ireland sales manager at HAIX, said: ‘The new portfolio demonstrates how innovation and durability go hand in hand. Our shoes are designed to help workers perform at their best, while protecting them from risks and hazards of the job day in day out. At HAIX, we are committed to creating durable, high-quality, and high-performing safety footwear, and this latest innovation marks an exciting chapter for the future of safety footwear.’
The new HAIX workwear range is certified under the updated EN ISO 20345:2022 + A1:2024.
