Haix Combat GTX is waterproof breathable tactical boot. Maximum safety and comfort.
Note! Haix uses UK sizes in their shoes and translates them to EU sizes in a slightly unusual way, using plain flat sizes as euro sizes in both shoes and shoe boxes. So, for example, UK 5 and UK 5.5 shoes both say EU 39, even though UK 5.5 corresponds to EU 39.5. Applies to all Haix shoes and all half EU sizes.

I was looking for a replacement for my previous Haix Airpower P6 and these popped up on the screen. The P6s fit like socks; these have a wider last in the middle and the heel feels less sturdy, so they are not as comfortable. The sizes are smaller, so when the previous P6 was a 9.5 I took these in size 10. The shoes feel lighter, the lace loops work worse and the price is about twice as much, so I am not very happy with these. The soles turn to stone in the cold, just like the P6s. I have been using them for about a couple of weeks now and they do their job.

Based on a test lasting a couple of nights: High-quality and durable shoes, also hold water well. Comfortable and light on the feet, not the slightly clumsy and heavy "bumps" like many basic hiking shoes. It breathes, which means that you can also wear them in the summer, but at the same time they are also warm enough for cooler weather. The only thing that makes me think, when on a longer stretch in more challenging terrain, the foot moved a little in the shoe and it started to feel that the size was too small (a little rubbing on the tip of the toes). Or the shoe just loosened/was loose. Future trips to show!

Really good on the feet. However, I don't think the bar is particularly wide. I took my "normal" shoe size, and they fit just fine. Double socks could be a bit too tight, so if you like to wear thick socks or double socks, I recommend taking one size bigger than normal. Overall, however, a very good and profitable purchase, I recommend!
