Product questions
Please remove the insoles from your shoes and stand on them. It is important that your heels are flush with the insoles. The marked PerfectFit area will tell you whether the size you have chosen is suitable.
The Vario-Fit insoles are compatible with some of our shoes. Simply search for the right insoles for your shoe model at Accessoires and go to "Select size". If there are different types of insoles, you can choose between narrow, normal and wide foot. If your shoes are too narrow for you, the yellow insoles are ideal for the wide foot.
Please contact our customer support team for advice: [email protected] or +49 (0) 8751 / 8625 888. We produce on different lasts depending on the model - not all shoes are the same. We also offer free widening of up to 0.5 cm. Leather can be widened more generously than textile material. Shoes with a protective toe cap can only be widened behind the protective toe cap. Widened shoes cannot be exchanged.

Our BLACK EAGLE Safety models offer you the highest comfort and safety. Except for the slightly narrower women's models (marked with 'Ws'), all models are produced on the same last and have consistent sizing. Additionally, they are certified to safety class S3 and are suitable for orthopedic insoles, ensuring reliable protection in demanding work environments.
BLACK EAGLE Athletic & BLACK EAGLE Tactical
Our BLACK EAGLE Athletic and Tactical models differ only in the materials used for the upper:
GTX: Gore-Tex (waterproof)
T: not waterproof
N: Nubuck leather
V: Suede leather
The rest is made of textile or smooth leather. All models are certified according to occupational footwear standards and are suitable for orthopedic insoles.
The BLACK EAGLE Adventure models are identical in construction to our BLACK EAGLE Athletic and Tactical series. The upper material is textile, and the women's models (marked with 'Ws') are narrower. The main difference: these models do not meet any professional standards and are considered purely leisure shoes.
HAIX shoes are 100% Made in Europe. For us, this is not just lip service, but lived practice. When it says "Made in Europe" on a HAIX shoe, we assure you that it was made exclusively at our production sites in Mainburg and Mala Subotica, Croatia. Both plants are among the most modern shoe manufacturing facilities in the world.
By the way: "Made in Europe" is not only a promise of quality for us, but also stands for good working conditions, equal opportunities, sustainability and corporate responsibility.
Outdoor
The reason for this is that very large sizes are only infrequently requested by customers. This means that production costs are higher than for standard sizes. Production processes also need to be specially adjusted, for example, and material use is greater. Nevertheless, we wish to be able to continue to provide this particular service to our customers. We are, therefore, compelled to charge an oversize supplement for shoes which do not correspond to the usual sizes.

Classification of fire brigade footwear in accordance with the CE 0197 EN15090 standard
Code 1: Shoes made of leather or other materials, except footwear made entirely of rubber or polymers
Code 2: Footwear made entirely of rubber or polymers
Types of brigade footwear in accordance with the EN 15090 standard

Type 2: Heavy duty basic protection models, suitable for internal fire fighting and combating other fires of all sorts; standard fire brigade boots (e.g. Type 2 HI2; Type 2 HI3)
Type 3: Special protective version, suitable for deployment in exceptional risk situations such as those involving hazardous materials; also suitable for all sorts of fire fighting (e.g. Type 3 HI2; Type 3 HI3)
Type and protective function of fire brigade footwear is stated in the bottom left-hand corner of the pictogram (fire fighter), e.g. F2A, whereby the following applies:
F Fulfils all requirements under the standard
2 Type 2
A Fulfilment of antistatic requirements
Meaning of the labelling symbols

A shoe is considered antistatic if the measured resistance falls within the range of 100 kiloohms (10^5 ohms) to one gigaohm (10^9 ohms). Antistatic shoes must be used according to standards to reduce electrostatic charge and ensure its dissipation. This is necessary when the risk of electric shock from electrical devices or live parts cannot be ruled out, or when there is a risk of igniting flammable substances or vapors due to sparks. The goal is to protect the wearer of the safety shoes (and also people in the vicinity) from hazards associated with electrical charge.
For ESD-capable shoes, the lower limit of resistance is also 100 kiloohms, but the upper limit is 100 megaohms (1 x 10^8 ohms). This means that an ESD-capable shoe is always antistatic as well. However, an antistatic shoe is not automatically ESD-capable. ESD-capable shoes protect not only the wearer and those nearby but also safeguard workpieces and equipment through controlled dissipation.
Nubuck leather is sanded smooth leather, while suede is made by splitting and then roughening the leather. Both types of suede leather appear velvety in texture. Suede is particularly known for being very durable and easy to care for.
The key difference between these two models is water resistance. Our CONNEXIS Go models are equipped with Gore-Tex, making them waterproof, whereas the CONNEXIS Air models are not waterproof.
Our CONNEXIS Force Air stands out for its high-quality and lightweight nubuck leather, making it the ideal leisure shoe for warm days.
