Haix, a worldwide manufacturer of quality footwear for the law enforcement market, is looking to select 1,000 officers to wear test the company’s Haix Black Eagle boots. The wear testers get to keep the boots.

“Haix wants officers to hit the streets and to feel the Haixquality difference. That’s it. And what better way to do that than by giving 1,000 officers the chance to get a free pair of Haix boots on their feet. Haix wants each chosen participant to put our boots through their paces. And then, after four weeks of wear, give us feedback,” the company says.

Wear testers can choose either the Black Eagle Tactical 2.0 GTX High Side Zip or the Black Eagle Tactical 2.0 GTX Mid Side Zip, or Black Eagle Athletic 2.1 T Mid Side Zip. These boots offer lightweight durability yet all day comfort, the company says.

Each wear tester must be active in the law enforcement profession and be able to wear the boots in a wide array of testing scenarios in real-life situations.

Wear testers must also be able to fit the Haix size range (4 – 13 in whole and half sizes and 14, 15, 16 for men). The Haix Black Eagle line is a unisex line, so women would order one size smaller.

Haix will provide all boots free of charge. Officers are to wear them in September and October while on active duty. In return, chosen participants must tell Haix how well the boots performed by the deadline of October 31. Short, online wear test feedback forms will be provided by Haix to make this task easier. All wear testers will get to keep their boots.

All feedback received from wear testers will be provided to POLICE Magazine in order for the results to be published in a future issue.

To apply to be chosen as a Haix 1,000 pair wear test participant, follow the link to sign up between August 15 and August 31. The 1,000 wear testers will be selected from all entries after close of contest and will be notified via email.
