Do you work a physically demanding job? Are safety and performance a key requirement for your everyday responsibilities? If you answered yes to the last two questions, then HAIX performance footwear is the smart choice for your next pair of workplace boots. Specially designed for the needs of firefighters, EMS, law enforcement, forestry personnel, military, and more – our boots feature the specific performance, safety, and support features demanded by working professionals across the globe. To protect your feet, without sacrificing comfort and maneuverability – many of our boots come equipped with a composite toe cap. Worried about how this safety feature will impact the fit of the boot? Reference these easy sizing tips before making your final purchasing decision.
Many People Go Up Half a Size
While our boots are designed to maximize comfort, many buyers still find going a half-size up from their regular shoe size helps them achieve a more comfortable fit. If possible, make sure you can try on the boot to ensure that this small size increase doesn’t impact how the boot fits in other areas of the foot. HAIX work boots offer features like a dual-zone lacing system and an advanced inner liner to ensure your feet stay supported and secure no matter what the day brings. These features help ensure a proper fit, even when selecting a half-size larger. Still not the perfect fit? HAIX offers a 30-day return policy to ensure you make the right investment.
Wear Your Work Socks
It is common courtesy to wear a pair of socks whenever trying on a pair of boots, for both sanitary reasons, and ensuring the boot remains in pristine condition should you ever need to return it. While the difference between athletic socks and workwear socks may seem minimal, they can still make a large impact on how your boot fits. Make sure whenever you try on a pair of composite toe cap boots, you are wearing the same type of socks you will wear on the job.
Try On Your Boots in the Afternoon
What do we mean by this? Believe it or not, your feet are slightly larger at the end of the day, versus the beginning of the day. This is caused by swelling from time spent on your feet. By trying on the boots in the afternoon, you can ensure you have the proper fit and avoid any added discomfort towards the end of your workday. While the amount your feet swell up may not seem significant, it could make a large impact on your comfort levels when wearing workboots designed to have a snug fit. The last thing you want is a work boot that feels increasingly restrictive as the day goes on.
