Global functional footwear manufacturer HAIX has launched its next generation of firefighting boots at Interschutz 2026.
The company introduced the new FIRE EAGLE 3.0 and FIRE EAGLE 3.0 EXG under the theme “United by Fire”.
The two new products will be unveiled at the company’s stand in Hall 15, Stand H47, where visitors will be able to experience the latest innovations in firefighter protection, comfort and operational readiness.
Faster operational readiness
The FIRE EAGLE 3.0 represents the third generation of one of Europe’s most successful firefighting boots.
Developed using practical experience from fire departments around the world, the new model combines proven performance with innovative technologies designed to improve speed, comfort and safety.
At the heart of the boot is the new OneTouch closure system, allowing firefighters to securely fasten the boot with a single movement.
The system automatically stows the lacing mechanism while delivering a reliable fit every time.
Additional features include an optimised last shape for improved comfort, a robust 3D rubber toe cap for abrasion protection, enhanced visibility through reflective elements and an adaptive heel construction for greater stability.
The boot is certified to the highest standards for modern firefighting and technical rescue operations.
Lightweight protection
HAIX and GORE-TEX have also developed the FIRE EAGLE 3.0 EXG, featuring new GORE-TEX EXTRAGUARD upper material technology designed to permanently reduce water absorption.
The boot weighs just 995g and remains noticeably lighter when wet while maintaining flame resistance, durability and protection through its GORE-TEX construction.
HAIX said the reduced weight helps improve mobility, reduce fatigue and support performance during prolonged incidents.
United by Fire
HAIX CEO Michael Haimerl, said: “We give everything so firefighters can continue to give everything in the future.
“This ambition drives us every day in research, development and production. That is why the global firefighting community looks to our products and why we focus heavily on actively shaping this role as an innovation leader.”
“With the FIRE EAGLE 3.0 EXG, HAIX once again demonstrates its ambition to identify technological developments at an early stage and, together with strong partners, translate them into practical innovations for emergency responders. We do not develop our products for firefighters – we develop them with them.
“For us, Interschutz is far more than just a trade fair. It is the place where the international firefighting community comes together with HAIX.
“That is exactly what our motto United by Fire stands for: solidarity, passion and the shared ambition to improve every single day.
“You give everything, every single day and we support you. The next generation of our firefighting boots demonstrates exactly how we translate this promise into real innovation.”
