HAIX introduces the Fire Eagle With over 60 years’ experience in the footwear industry, HAIX continues to set standards with its latest creation, the Fire Eagle. Weighing less then 1000g, this shoe is the ‘little brother’ of the Fire Hero. With less weight and a distinct sports design, this is a boot developed by HAIX for top rescuers that conforms to all standards, even in the most gruelling conditions. The most obvious distinguishing feature of this new boot is the two-colour toecap featuring signal yellow contour ripples. The two-colour design continues along the sole and aims at just one thing: maximum safety during rescue work.

The anti-slip sole with lamella grip technology is also yellow, acting like a ‘light in the dark’ when rescuers need to crawl behind the other in the dark environment. Other safety features within this boot, standard with HAIX products, include the ultra-light yet extremely strong toecap made from a composite material. For the design of this new lightweight boot, HAIX technicians once more applied their unrivalled expertise in footwear safety acquired over many years. Haix® Group: Stand Q38
