Maximum safety when working in the precinct

Your Protector Forest with cut protection class 2 gives you reliable protection during forest work.

Certified cut protection level 2

Your Protector Forest meets the cut protection class Level 2. This means your feet are safe from chainsaw cuts at a running speed of up to 24m/s.

Shockproof thanks to Protective steel toe cap

The integrity of your feet is essential. The Protector Forest therefore features a protective cap made of shock-resistant steel. The Protective steel toe cap is anatomically shaped and meets the highest safety requirements.

Extra slip-resistant with VIBRAM

You'll stand securely in the Protector Forest as it smooths your path on rough terrain. The sole of the Protector Forest has an optimal rubber compound and is therefore particularly slip-resistant, stable and stiff. This is the VIBRAM effect incorporated into the sole of the Protector Forest.

Special comfort even on long days

Your Protector Forest sits perfectly on your feet thanks to 2-zone-lacing for optimal support during your work.

Waterproof thanks to GORE-TEX®

Your feet stay dry and you stay healthy because the Protector Forest is permanently waterproof and extremely breathable. This is ensured by the three-layer GORE-TEX® membrane throughout the lining of the Protector Forest.

Relieving cushioning with HAIX absorption

You'll experience a comfortable feel in the Protector Forest even when you're out for several hours. Because the integrated cushioning wedge inside cushions your steps. We call this HAIX Absorption: for drive even on long working days.

Optimal hold thanks to 2-zone lacing

The Protector Forest adapts perfectly to your foot in both the instep and the shaft area, so that it offers you optimal support. This is ensured by 2-Zone Lacing, an innovative 2-zone lacing system for foot and upper.

Precise fit thanks to special lasts

The right shoe for your feet. Thanks to specially designed lasts, your Protector Forest fits perfectly and provides ultimate wearing comfort, the whole day long.

Your questions, our honest answers

Different insoles are available for Protector Forest to increase or reduce the volume in the shoe. For this purpose, we have developed a slightly thicker insole for narrow feet and a slightly thinner insole for wider feet.

Our Vario-Wide-Fit-System allows you to adjust the volume in the shoe.

The Protector Forest has been tested according to the standard DGUV 112-191 (BGR 191) and is therefore approved for orthopaedic insoles.

This allows the Protector Forest to be adapted even more optimally to the foot and to support its anatomical structure.

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.

The Protector Forest has fewer seams because it is made primarily from a leather blade. The Protector Ultra, on the other hand, has an additional elastic band at the top of the upper so that dirt, for example, is prevented from getting into the shoe.

A model with few seams for optimal wearing comfort.

The Protector Forest is equipped with a Vibram sole. The durable and torsionally stiff sole provides exceptional stability.

A shoe with a hard-wearing sole that can also be used on rough terrain.

The Protector Forest is equipped with a cut protection. This means that you can safely work with chain saws that have a running speed of 24 m per second.

Focus one hundred percent on your job thanks to complete protection of the Protector Forest.

You can find all the right spare parts for our shoes on our spare parts page.

We produce in a UK shoe size system. The distance between our half UK sizes is only a few millimetres. This makes it more likely to find exactly the right shoe length.

Half UK sizes differ in length by only a few millimetres.

You can simply wash the dirty shoes with water and a brush. Please do not dry the wet shoes (even if they are wet on the inside) on an open fire, a hot stove or a heater. This will change the shape of the shoe. Simply remove the footbed and stuff the shoes with newspaper or use a shoe tree. Then allow the shoes to air dry slowly. We recommend washing the footbed regularly at 30°. In general, it is best to remove the footbed from the shoes after every wear to ensure optimal re-drying.

Simply clean it with a brush and water and let it air dry.

From experience, the Protector Forest is a normal size. We therefore recommend that you choose the usual size.

Experience has shown that the shoe fits normally.

The Best Boot I've Ever Owned
This is by far the best boot in the world for both indoor and outdoor protection. This is my first pair of HAIX boots i've had and I wouldn't swap them for any other boot, as i've tried lots of other brands so I can testify to this. I cannot fault the craftsmanship of the forest protector, I want another pair - ENOUGH SAID!!!

Please could you put a flap over the lace area as the laces can get caught by brash and brambles
