Haix for heroes what a load of poppycock!!

[Tim Williams]

have had a pair of haix trekker mountain for about 6 months and am not very impressed, the rubber rand on both boots has either come away or split along the seam where the sole is attached which is mow starting to come away. I wear them everyday and look after them in an approved way i have had problems with other boots in the past but they have been cheaper boots such as elten felsmans but when I pay £140 for a pair of boots I would hope for a better life expectancy. anyone else had similar problems.

Just binned my Haix after two years of use and bought another pair.

perhaps due to the nature of being a utility arborist the wear on my boots is higher ie constantly scrambling through gnarly thorn hedges and being in muddy fields al the time causes more wear and tear on the boots than if your doing local authority work in parks and gardens etc.

I dunno there Mr Bunny, i spent a lot of last week up to my shins in peat and sand in a sand quarry fixing the tracks on a machine. mine are entering their second winter just fine. mine are just as likely to be found in the woods as in manicured park

same as all footwear...

 

its all down to the shape of your feet and the way you walk.

 

theres a boot for every foot... its just costs money, time and dis-comfort to find out what suits you best

I have haix trackers now in their second year, best boots I've had so far. Try writing to the manufacturer, you never know.

what does that mean? did you mean that the due to the nature of the work boots don't last as long or is that a dig at the utility industry if so i'd just like to point out that although some utility workers carryout horrendous jobs don't tar us all with the same brush I am highly qualified with a national diploma and HNC in arb and small woodland mgmt as well as my nptc units and 6 years experience, we work to BS3998 same as everyone and try and carry out works to a high standard.
