AIRPOWER X1 The teams are well trained, have the latest technology at their disposal, and reach the hotspots they are responsible for within a short time. And the success or failure of units can depend on their foot gear. If the foot gear cannot stand up to the required performance, danger isn’t far behind. Falls, injuries, distractions or life-threatening situations can be the result. The boot was specifically designed to coordinate with the movements of firefighters and rescue workers, and incorporates the maximum value of comfort and stability when rotating between kneeling and standing. The AIRPOWER X1 enjoys special popularity as a "station boot" among fire personnel.

The instep and heel bend provides protectionfrom abrasive rubbing and unpleasant pressure points, and the puncture-resistant soles, as well as a metal toe, prevent injuries. Theingenious fastening system facilitates a tailored fit to eachindividual’s foot. Once laced, one zip, and the boot, with its 8-inchleg, "fits like a glove". Quick donning and good support guaranteequick readiness response and dependability during a mission.

TheHAIX climate system serves to better regulate moisture of the shoe'sinterior. The thermopolyurethane tread is slip-resistant, oil and gas durable, non-chalking and antistatic. The highly active-breathing yetwatertight, microporous CROSSTECH® membrane from GORE-TEX aids in the continuous regulation of climatic comfort and is bacteria resistant in accordance with NFPA 1999. The sleek leather is low maintenance and permanently waterproofed through a hydrophobic process, making it absolutely watertight.

The patented arch support system is part of the Airpower philosophy. Referred to as the AS system, it serves asa joint-protecting shock absorber. This system, which is securely integrated into the shoe, optimizes the anatomic design and providesneeded support to all body parts while running and walking. A new kindof last guarantees more movement room for toes and the ball of the foot due to a wider forefoot which, in turn, prevents tiring and cramping of the feet. The narrower heel and joint areas provide better support and stability. As a further means of protection, a wide anatomically-designed and cushioned steel toe, as well as puncture protection, are built in.
