Haix
Those who require a steel-toe boot for work but have been disappointed by the fit and comfort of available models now have something to sing about. It helps to think of the Airpower XR200 not as a work boot—which it truly is—but as a work boot disguised as a far-more-comfortable hiking boot. Comfort features include the Flex Protection System, which uses leather reinforcement over the heel bend to protect the softer and more flexible leather from chafing. Another selling point is Haix’s Secura liner, which will not pull out or wrinkle over time. The exterior upper uses waterproof, hydrophobic, and breathable brown oiled nubuck leather, and the protective toecap is anatomically formed with a padded composite. The moisture barrier includes a Gore-Tex liner and an inner Cambrelle lining softly padded with a non-woven fabric. The non-woven footbed absorbs sweat and moisture, and the boots are waterproof, breathable, and chemical-resistant. The removable footbed is an anatomically formed, machine-washable insert with excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying qualities. The sole is non-metallic puncture protective. It has an integrat-

ed heel bend, low-friction lacing elements, no side seams, and reinforcement in the toe area. Like all Haix boots, there is an out-of-warranty program where the footwear is refurbished with original factory materials. The Airpower XR200 meets classification ASTM F 2413-2011, CAN/CSA-Z1952009.

LaCrosse ➤ The
AeroHead Sport boot has all the comfort and durability of the original, but is lighter and more flexible. The boot features AeroForm technology, a process in which polyurethane is injected into a mold around the neoprene core. The AeroHead Sport’s Brush Tuff material and new abrasionresistant shinguard give extra protection without added bulk. The boot’s upper features a moisturewicking jersey liner that can easily be rolled down in warm temperatures, and the redesigned polyurethane shell delivers flexible performance while providing an athletic, glove-like fit. And to better accommodate more hunters, the boot is slightly shorter but retains its signature gusset, which adjusts to various calf sizes and allows pants to be comfortably tucked in. An upgraded, aggressive outsole with angled lugs improves traction while easily shedding mud and debris. Available in 3.5mm neoprene Realtree Xtra, 7mm neoprene Realtree Xtra, and a versatile 7mm neoprene all-brown option. Sizes: 6 to 15, whole only. SRP: $169.99 to $179.99. Booth #10770.
