In your comfort zone
Long hours, no sweat.
Absorbent insoles
Lightweight, breathable and cushioned micro fiber insoles absorb perspiration to keep feet dry. Machine wash, and occasionally replace, to maintain comfort.
Secure fit
HAIX unique lacing system provides a personalized, secure fit. The convenient front zipper allows wearers to adjust laces once to their preferred fit and feel, then slip on, zip up and go.
Arch support
Built-in arch support evenly distributes bodyweight—relieving leg and foot fatigue, stress and pain. Less leg stress means less stress on you.
Breathable comfort
HAIX Climate System utilizes special foams between lining and leather for moisture absorption. Vent holes at the top of the boot release moist air and circulate fresh air with every step.

system of the Airpower XR2 allows the individual user to adjust the fit
to their own personal needs, offering more ankle support as needed, or

The Airpower XR2 runs similar in size to your athletic shoe size, but because of the built in arch support, they do run on the narrow side.

For example, most people who normally wear a medium, would wear a wide in this boot.
