LEXINGTON, KY - HAIX® North America, a leading manufacturer of high quality fire fighting, rescue, and law enforcement footwear, announces the release of the new Special Fighter Xtreme to its fire footwear line up. Continuing the HAIX® tradition of providing the highest quality footwear to the fire industry, the Special Fighter Xtreme is quadruple certified for USAR, EMS, HAZMAT, and Wildland firefighting.

The Special Fighter Xtreme, with its 8 inch high shaft, is designed for extremely tough jobs under the most difficult conditions imaginable. The boot offers comfort, flexibility, protection, and safety. The CROSSTECH® membrane by WL Gore is not only watertight and breathable, but also resistant to chemicals, bacteria, and bloodborne pathogens. The foot is  protected by a padded, extra-wide and comfortable steel toe cap and non-penetrable sole. The newly developed profiled rubber toe cap ensures the tip of the boot is abrasion-resistant while protecting the forefoot from mechanical hazards such as impacts and blows.

The Special Fighter Xtreme features the HAIX® Lacing System for a custom fit combined with quick entry and exit and triple stitched seams for added durability. The boots also feature the patented HAIX® MSL system which provides superior shock absorption, insulates against cold and heat, and ensures the inner lining is firmly attached to the boot components and cannot pull out or crumple up.

The Special Fighter Xtreme is tested and certified to:

NFPA 1951/2007 edition
NFPA 1999/2003 edition
NFAP 1992/2005 edition
