Hit the Streets with HAIX®: We’re looking for 1,000 wear-testers!

HAIX® Published August 15, 2024 @ 6:00 am PDT

Lexington, Kentucky — If you are a law enforcement professional, you know how important footwear is when you are spending long hours on the job. You want a high-quality pair of boots that not only offers ultimate comfort but also long-lasting durability. Now, HAIX is giving you the chance to try out a pair of HAIX law enforcement boots and find out for yourself just how good a high-quality boot can be. And HAIX is going to provide them to you free of charge!

HAIX®, a worldwide manufacturer of quality footwear for the law enforcement market, is looking to select 1,000 police officers to wear-test our HAIX® Black Eagle boots. HAIX® wants officers to put some HAIX® boots on their feet and feel the HAIX® quality difference. That’s it. And what better way to do that than by giving 1,000 officers that chance? HAIX® wants each chosen participant to put our boots through their paces. After four weeks of wear, give us feedback.

Each wear-tester must be active in the law enforcement industry and be able to provide a wide array of testing scenarios in real-life situations.

Wear-testers can choose either the Black Eagle® Tactical 2.0 GTX Mid Side Zip or Black Eagle Athletic 2.1 T Mid Side Zip. These boots offer lightweight durability yet all-day comfort. Wear-testers must be able to fit the HAIX® size range (4–13 in whole and half sizes and 14, 15 and 16 for men). The HAIX® Black Eagle® line is a unisex line, so women would order one size smaller.

HAIX® will provide all boots free of charge. Officers are to wear them in September and October, wearing the boots while on active duty. In return, chosen participants must tell us how well their boots performed by the deadline of October 31. Short, online wear-test feedback forms will be provided by HAIX® to make this task easier. In the end, all wear-testers will get to keep their boots! 

To apply to be chosen as a HAIX® 1,000 pair wear-test participant, follow the link to sign up between August 12 and August 31. After the contest closes, 1,000 wear-testers will be selected from all entries and notified via email.

For more information or to sign up to wear-test a pair of HAIX boots, visit www.haixusa.com/1000.
