Haix protector pros

[mikecotterill]

Haix seem to have let their quality drop over the last few years..I've gone over to Meindl now, I like me boots to last 2 years...not 3 months

 

I had a pair of meindl and they did last, but they seemed really hard on my sole, plus I like the high ankle support on the haix

 

Might give the tibets a go then next time

Mine did too but I caught the problem early on. Took them to the local cobbler who stuck them good-n-propper. Any sign of a split now and I fix it with Evo-stick type stuff before using them again.

Shouldn't really be having to do that though, not on a near 200 quid pair of boots!

No, I agree ,but they're about 4 years old now. I don't use them in the summer or for climbing though. I can fix them overnight and I get the satisfaction of making them last. If I handed everything back under warranty at the first sign of trouble nobody would want me in their shop and I'd have nothing to tinker with in the evenings.

I had a pair after six months the sole split and wet foot. Told garden machines where I got them from, they took photos and sent them to haix. Got a new pair that lasted years.

Haix were good about it.
